You couldn’t make this up if you tried:
“I don’t know about turning the debate around, all I know is that a simple question has turned my life upside down and more people know about me than Obama,” claimed the ordinary-looking American, wearing sports pajamas and T-shirt.
Joe the Plumber thinks he’s more famous than Barack Obama. You know … the guy who just became the president-elect in a landslide.
And, this guy — who clearly has a good handle on reality — is launching two web sites, one of which he wants people to donate to.
Mr. Wurzelbacher said he planned to launch a Web site, www.secureourdream.com, with the goal of making it a political watchdog. “We will keep a check on both the Republicans and the Democrats for not only living up to their promises, but also not let them dictate to people how to live and spend their hard-earned fortunes,” he said.
He added that he also planned to launch www.secureourdream.org, which he said will be a charity branch of the watchdog site to raise money “for all sorts of charities and causes for fellow Americans.”
Praising his countrymen for being very generous to various charities, he said he hoped people would donate at this Web site. He said his Web site would be run in a very transparent way so everyone will know how much money is raised and distributed.
I just got done writing about how my faith was restored in Americans’ ability to make smart decisions. Please, please don’t take steps backwards by supporting this attention-craving, not-quite-truthful loon. Don’t give him money. If you’re doing to donate, there are lots of established charities that have demonstrated the ability to spend money wisely. Look into those and let Joe’s 15 minutes of fame finally run out.
