Word comes today that Republican strategists on Capitol Hill are having, as their featured speaker on the stimulus package...wait for it... Joe The Plumber. Apparently, in addition to war correspondent, and country singer, he also received a degree in economics (maybe he minored in this at plumbing college). It seems Mr. Wurzelbacher is not in favor of the stimulus package, and I am positive his speech will contain an in-depth, point-by-point analysis of the package, complete with graphics, historical perspective, future projections based on models in the Keynesian as well as Friedmanian modalities.
Or, you know, he might just say " Fuck that stimulus package!"
Remember when McCain told a crowd that Joe was his hero, and, if elected, he planned to consult Joe on important issues? Like Gov. Pappy O' Daniel in " O, Brother Where Art Thou", who, after pardoning the Soggy Bottom Boys, announces " These here boys is gonna be my brain trust!"
Congrats, Repubs! Keep up the good work! Keep on digging--soon there will be a hole deep enough for you all.
