Actually, Joe, Americans Don’t Want You Around Their Kids
When we talk about folks like Rush Limbaugh, Fred Phelps, and Bill O’Reilly on this site, the argument could be made that we’re giving these bigots more attention — which they crave and, as such, we’re just feeding the beast. We’ve come to accept that truth, and not just so we can rail against the haters, but because these folks are actually some of the best comedians in the business. Their rhetoric is so ridiculous, it makes us laugh. It might take two or three listens to let the anger boil down, but after that, it’s all giggles. Limbaugh doesn’t know there’s a laugh track playing during his vitriol. The latest slapsticker? Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher.
He already made us laugh when he said he didn’t want queers “anywhere near my children.”
Now he’s just racking ‘em up with lines like this, to a local ABC affiliate while plugging his new book: “Obviously I don’t want my son seeing men kissing each other. It throws me off. … It’s not something I want around my family.”
Alas, it appears Americans don’t want him around their family: His book is selling terribly.
I’ve had bowel movements smarter and more interesting than this guy.
Throws him off…
Awwww…muffin.
he wrote a book? he didn’t write a book it was written for him. does joe the plumber have a book deal with rupert murdoch?
i don’t want my kids seeing two men kiss each other, but, two women, now thats HOT!
“he said he didn’t want queers “anywhere near my children.”
Of course not. He doesn’t want any witnesses to how he might be abusing his children.
That is, after all, pretty much the domain of heterosexuals which is a proven fact by police blotters around the USA.
@rick:
Hypocrite troll.
@schlukitz: Uhm, I think Rick was being rather facetious in his comment, Perhaps mocking would be a better description, mocking the stereotypical homophobic male who is repulsed (outwardly) by two men going at it and yet fantasizes about two women. At least that was my take.
Joe is a moron. Yes Joe, just friggin go away. You managed to get something correct, at least.
But guys kissing is so hot.
Is it a coloring book or a book with actual typed words? I heard crayola isn’t doing to well lately so you never know.
Can’t we take a poll and ask people if they’d want Würzelfücker near their kids? I’m curious to see the outcome.
I´d give him a big sloppy and wet French kiss to teach him how hot that can be….and he looks very bottomish…yummy
@Michael vdB: Yeah. “The Plumber’s” thrown off because he doesn’t understand why the sight of two men kissing makes his dick hard.
@BrianZ:
“At least that was my take.”
You may well be right.
In the absence of a wink, grin or some other sign of being facetious, however, it’s difficult to know what his true intention was.
I would love nothing better than for Rick to inform me that I took his comment the wrong way. I am man enough to apologize when I have been proven wrong.
What say you, Rick?
I’ll bet the politicos who thought bringing him into the spotlight was such a ‘great ideas’ now rue the day. Even when it came out he wasn’t a licensed plummer they still pushed him on the public. He’s a definite ‘tool’…and not the good kind.
> “It throws me off …”
Sounds like a self hater to me.
