Joe The Plumber To Advise Congressional GOP


I wrote a diary a while ago sort of pointing out the ridiculous arguments being put forth as to why the President has not cured all that ails us.
 
I was criticized for not tagging the post as sarcasm, satire snark, or some such. I accepted the criticism and re-read said diary.
That is what I set out to do today, however on my to look up stuff I found something that I thought was surely an a piece from the Onion.

The short answer; it was not the Onion who wrote this:
 
 

Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher - more commonly known as Joe the Plumber -- will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

That little gem was from the other satirical site...Politico

Yes it seems after their stunning "victory" and by 'victory",  I mean they got their collective asses handed to them in the 2008 elections, the GOP is feeling the love from all those new Republicans in Congress.

and it gets better:

"Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group"

Ok, let's sum up:

 The GOP is soliciting advice from a guy who goes by an alias about subjects Im 'sure he knows nothing about, then again, they love them some Palin, alsothey refuse to listen to their constituencies.

Who will they ask next for advice. I hope it's me. I need the money.
