So many questions

He's just trying to find the right one. Joe the Plumber, Country Singer, Pundit, Author, Charity Organizer, War Correspondent is just as awesome as I thought he would be.



Insightful, no? Via TP.

  • I suppose we can see John McCain as Wurzelburger's John the Baptist. I'm sure he sees himself as a Christlike figure, come to save us from complexity and competence and lead us to a fantasy world of simple, if bellicose answers.

    I'm sure he's a savior to those who think WTF? is sufficient response to anyone with a well thought out answer to a difficult problem or indeed to the difficult problem itself. He's no Saint John Wayne though and unlike the two-fisted cowboy of the movies, he's constrained by the real world, although he obviously is oblivious to the fact.

    The real world is unlikely to crucify him, although in these modern times I'm not sure it's really necessary to die and be resurrected to ascend to a kingdom on high. Being anointed by a celebrity seems to work as well, at least for a time.

    I have to think of the German picaresque novel about a simpleton called Simplicissimus and his adventures, "namely where and in what manner he came into this world, what he saw, learned, experienced, and endured therein; also why he again left it of his own free will. Let's hope Wurtzy clicks his heels and goes back to Kansas soon.

  • I posted this around and of course one of the 'conservatives' in my critics gallery at DetNews thought he did a great job. Mindboggling.
