awww... poor Joe the Plumber crying about the mean media picking on him...
Should have thought about that Joe - when you lied your ass off on National TV about being a plumber, about wanting to buy a business, about how horrible it is to pay taxes - when you hadn't paid any, etc., etc.

"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

Wurzelbacher said he felt terrible after reading some of the criticism of himself posted online.

"I felt about that small," he said. "I mean I really did."

-snip-

Wurzelbacher became famous after he met Obama and said the Democrat's tax proposal could keep him from buying the two-man plumbing company where he works. However, reports of Wurzelbacher's annual earnings suggest he would receive a tax cut rather than an increase under Obama's plan.

-snip-

Wurzelbacher said he agreed to appear on the show after he received phone calls from friends serving in the military who voiced their support.

1. they worried about...you know...if the premise of my whole shtick was false.....
Joe's an asshole. There was no need for a news conference or media tour. Just like Palin...based on a fraud, wants the attention, but without the scrutiny.

14. ROFL! You know...
Soon, some bald plumber wannabe will post a video to Youtube, crying and saying...



Then he'll be semi-famous and TMZ, etc. will be all over him. It's like a vicious cycle or something. :rofl:

3. Well, Joe, you ARE that small.
And you think that paying taxes 'isn't about America'?? How the hell do you think it works, bud?

4. So failing to pay taxes is a silly matter irrelevant to America?
Isn't that the equivalent of being a deadbeat citizen?

11. I'm with you.
As I posted in another thread, this assclown wanted his 15 minutes of fame and he got it. And now he's whining because the truth about him is coming out.

Too bad, Joe. I suggest you go on Oprah and suddenly feel Jebus come into your heart. That's worked for just about every other fraud, shyster and phony. At least among a certain segment of the population.

13. oops - guess he and his boss won't have to be paying any taxes anymore.
they won't be able to guarantee the work - who would want to hire them? It might not even be legal for them to operate. Bet his boss is pretty po'd.

15. cry me a river. he thought he was being smug challenging Obama on behalf of his beloved GOP
now he's feeling the heat and will be left hanging by his maverick McCain. he stepped in this pile all by himself when he approached Obama. Quit your crying Joe. It is very becoming.
