They Need a Hero...(to save them from themselves)
Who will the Republicans turn to in their search for a qualified leader to guide them with fresh vision and ideas? Who possesses the sober-mindedness and wisdom that will help the country wade through the complex financial milieu most Americans currently face? Who will have the experience, insight and courage to take their tattered party forward? What representative tour de force will display that they understand the gravity of the situation while also offering helpful hints on how to stop the toilet from running or how to increase the water pressure through your shower head all the while being unlicensed and unqualified for any of the above?
Why JOE THE PLUMBER of course. For Christ's sake.
Joe the Plumber is the savior who will lead the Republicans beyond the wreckage of lost elections and into a new era. "Jiggle it."
Playing With Fire
Neither the job losses nor the president’s prodding was enough to prompt much of a response from the Republicans.
