Let's see how he does in the REAL america, before you namby pamby liberals start trying to write Joe's narrative for him. Hmmm. Probably not the best choice of words.

Have we confirmed that Samuel...I mean Joe...can READ a book?

The "funniest" part of the article is that he won't go back to plumbing because he'd be called out if he didn't do a good job.

As Yoda might say "Not much faith in skills you have"

I wonder who he hopes to play him when they turn it into a movie?

With all due respect to the writer of the article, NotJoe the Kinda Plumber is not fit to shine Clara Peller's orthopedic shoes. He's more on the level of I'm Having Chest Pains Guy on the LifeAlert commercial of yore.

How embarassing...

It reminds me of when one of the Survivor guys -- Daniel, the guy from the Amazon season who couldn't stay on the balance beam -- put out a beefcake calendar and went to one of the gay coffee spots in Houston to sign copies. The guy I was dating at the time and I had gone inside by chance and saw him sitting at a table alone. Other people were in the cafe but ignoring him. I felt bad and wanted to go say hello and get a calendar out of pity, but my date wouldn't let me.

That's a lot of empty chairs...Calvin, I would have gotten a pity calendar.

sad. he really believed those people who told him that he was going to help "lead the movement." they went back to their castles and he's left desperately clinging. i'd say he's about three to six months from turning on them entirely and going over to the left to write a tell-all book about the gop. at which point he will morph from this into a heroic figure adored by the same people who mock him.

Nah...Papa, we're holding out for Sarah Palin.

You had me until clinging.

I don't think Sam ("Sammy"?) is gonna go left. I think he's going to go meth. Then rehab. Then relapse. Then suicide. I don't think it's funny or anything, I just think that's how it's going to go.

The way he has been abandoned by the power elite who used his fake name and phony story over and over again makes me sad in the way it resembles what anti-porn activists did to the late, lamented Linda Lovelace.

Gloria Steinem and the odious Andrea Dworkin and the odiouser Katherine McKinnon used Lovelace and helped her construct and reinforce a phony narrative of powerlessness and victimization to bolster their censorship crusade and then abandoned her when they realized she had nothing more to say and couldn't think on her feet and wasn't particularly bright. When I read Linda's second autobiography, "Out of Bondage," it was filled with starry eyed low-self-esteem infused descriptions of how amazed she was that these brilliant women would give a lowly fellatio-expert the time of day.

As I read it, I thought, "This won't end well."

Same with Sammy.

anybody who saw linda's early work could see she was a true animal lover.

Michelle Malkin still likes him well enough to give him his own "derangement syndrome" graphic (only Bush, Palin and Limbaugh can say the same!) so perhaps old NotJoe has a few bounces on the trampoline left in him.

Though she's obviously the Andrea Dworkin of the story.
