“…does he have to be so pompous?” In this case, yes. “Joe the Plumber” is a moron masquerading as a war correspondent, admonishing real war correspondents not to report war. That’s way beyond accusing a politician of practicing socialism, a term he has no concept of. Have Bill ‘O’Reilly and Sean Hannity flushed this idiot yet? If I were a conservative I would be extremely embarrassed by this guy.
Is Sanchez trying to imitate Olbermann? It’s douchebaggery at its finest.
Joe the Plumber has no business being a reporter, but he DID get Obama to admit his socialist plan, something the dozens of fawning press corps members that travelled with him every day never even attempted.
You’re right, it is embarassing that it took a plumber to ask a legitimate question that caused Obama to admit he wanted to “spread the wealth around”.
I mean, after almost 2 dozen debates, countless interviews & press conferences, a herd of reporters following him around every day, and a freaking plumber got him to admit his socialistic plans for our economy.
I think unlicensed plumbers are pretenders. And people that try and act like this guy is anything more than a day laborer with a steady job are blinded by partisanship.
I really couldn’t care less about his plumbing status, and Sanchez should have avoided it. The problem is Sam is a giant, know-it-all douchebag who makes conservatives look like idiots. And he didn’t know what he was talking about with Obama. Obama proposed letting some one-percenter tax cuts expire as planned and replacing them with middle class tax cuts. That’s not socialism, it’s a fair and balanced tax system that worked quite well in this country for a long time.
Joe, the tax polciies Obama campaigned on went far beyond letting the Bush tax cuts expire. “Spreading the wealth” is more than just taxation. It rings of Socialism.
I’ve already said he has no business being a reporter. It’s nice to know that terence, along with being an expert on the media, Israel, the Middle East and everything else in the world, also is well-versed in the field of plumbing. Especially what constitutes a real and “pretend” plumber.
And since he’s just a mere “day laborer” we should all look down our noses at Joe the Plumber.
BTW, terence, go to the Washington Times & read Alan Dershowitz’ op-ed today. You might learn something. Doubtful, but it’s possible.

Ya know, I never really liked Rick Sanchez…until now.

As the #1 Rick Sanchez hater.. I have to say, Rick is right on the money this time.

He may be right about Joe the Plumber, but does he have to be so pompous?

“Obama’s socialist plan.” Embarrassing. And your name is out of date.

Downright embarassing.

Big — Please refer to him as an imitation plumber.
Really, I don’t like to see you embarrass yourself on here. We all know this two bit wannabe plumber is a shammer.

I see. So he doesn’t actually do plumbing, right?
He’s never worked for a plumbing company? Oh, that’s right. He doesn’t have a plumber’s license, so he couldn’t possibly be a “real” plumber.
Except for the fact that he doesn’t need a plumbing license, because the company he works for has one, and that’s all that’s required.
But, as usual terence, don’t let the facts get in the way of your story.

Big — I already knew that information. And, I think you summed it up pretty well with this:
“Oh, that’s right. He doesn’t have a plumber’s license, so he couldn’t possibly be a “real” plumber.”
January 16, 2009 at 12:44 pm
So you knew he was an actual plumber and the media b.s. about his not having a license was just that, b.s., yet you chose to repeat the lie any way.
Your douchebaggery knows no bounds.

BigRed — Did Joe do some shoddy work on Dershowitz’ bidet?
