If I have to explain why this is so gut-bustingly funny... - robkelk - 11-06-2008
... then you don't know as much about US politics as you think you do. Or you're under 40. Or both.

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

Okay, I'm definitely wrong era. To me, Oval Office + Plumber = Watergate. I'm clearly missing a reference somewhere.

It was a wonderful meme, one that made Halloween costumes around the country.
There is something really . . . really American about the idea of Joe the Plumber. It kind of says it all, doesn't it?
Democracy in action.

*Sarcasm on*
Yeah.. how dare he do something so horrible as to ask a question of a presidential canidate
that happened to walk down his street then disagree with the canidates answer. There
should be a law!he deserved to have his life torn apart and embaressed by the media
BEFORE he bacame part of McCain's campaign. Makes you yearn for the days of the Soviet
union where they took those that disagreed with the leadership out and shot em huh?

assuming you're replying to me, that wooshing sound you heard was the point going way over your head.

Debates? McCain and his "Joe the Plumber'?
I found it gut bustingly funny, actually. painfull, cause I had a stoumach flu 24 hours ago and my sides still hurt.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
