Joe the plumber living off donations.

[Alicia Leonard]

This is my definition of irony.......... Get a job, Joe.

"I'm not getting paid for things. It's starting to get hard to eat," the now-famous Joe the Plumber tells INSIDE EDITION's Deborah Norville.
​

What is this, Russia?

On the eve of election day, Joe, a single dad, told INSIDE EDITION he's getting by with help from friends and family, along with donations from well-wishers.
"It's hard being on the receiving end, a little bit of pride gets in there sometimes," admits Joe.
"So you just go to the mailbox and there's an envelope with a check in it, written to your name?" marvels Norville.
"Yes ma'am," Joe says.

Lucky for Joe some folks have agreed to "spread the wealth." And this is the guy worried about the $250,000 threshold?? I thought I was an optimist. Then again, maybe he's planning on the country music gig going well.

Joe the Plumber May Have Country Music Plans
October 30, 2008
The man made suddenly famous as Joe the Plumber now seems to be capitalizing on his newfound fame. Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher has signed with a Nashville publicist and manager and is being advised by country artist Aaron Tippin. Bigger plans seem to be afoot for the man elevated to fame by appearances with both presidential candidates. A book is in the works, speaking appearances are planned and word is that he may pursue recording country music. As first reported in a CMT.com blog, Joe the Plumber signed with Nashville PR firm The Press Office on Tippin's recommendation and then aligned with management firm Bobby Roberts Company.

Yea, Joes life has been a real blast. It was like the lottery hit when BHO appeared in his driveway. Life has been real fun since.

This guy must have lost the memo that says only republicans are meanspirited hatemongers.

Idlewind,
Please chill... you seem quite upset! Relax please, grab a glass of wine and enjoy the fact that this season will be finally over tomorrow - and hopefully you can pledge to support whoever will win - I will even if McCain pulls off an upset and wins - too many issues unite us more than divide us.

I'll chill when liberals quit telling conservatives how mean and hateful we are long enough to denounce this clown. My Gosh, Joe the plumber gets it up the horn every night and all he did was try and play football with his son. If BHO wins, I won't need a glass of wine, I'll need a fifth of Jack Daniels.:roll:

:roll:

The only reason I posted this is that Joe seemed to have a real issue with sharing, but only if he was the one having to share. McCain called him out and he decided to speak to the press every chance he gets. That was a personal decision. If you don't want the publicity, you don't have to get on the fame train. Besides, I've only called dibs on your socks and cheerios.

I guess I have missed the part about Joe the Plumber getting it up the horn every night - I wish him no ill will even though I really fail to see what catapulted him into the limelight - but it is not worth tearing him or anyone down - my experience has taught me that hopefully people will either sink or swim on their own merits.

Since I am hoping for an BHO win tomorrow I certainly wish you as much Jack Daniels as you will need!!

I believe Joe has a problem with sharing defined as the government taking his money by force and giving it to someone else. Big difference compared to private charity. This country used to run on private charity but the government has institutionalized income sharing and has killed recepients' dignity in the bargain.

I'll have you know, "getting it up the horn every night" is a figurative

"Sharing" is a codeword for the government taking and giving to someone else who you do not choose. "Taking" in plain English is stealing.:angry:
