HUH??

His name's not Joe & he's not really a plumber. Maybe next time the media ad spin wizards can focus on some homeless guy and name him Sam the ice cream man.

meet Joe

You could'nt pay me enough to meet that loser.That misclassified piece of crap should have his tax returns pulled for the last ten years.

heh

ask how much NJ citizens "plunk down" to pay for Jon Corzines sales tax, propertaxes, toll increases and other bloated government. Lonegan is the only one fighting against the Communists who run this state. If you can't first understand that, then you've got your head firmly up your rear end.

What does 100K get you?

Yeah....I'd rather pay 100K + for AL Gore or Bill Clinton

NOT..............

Fox Sports News

I think it was on Fox Sports News I heard that "Joe the Plumber" is going into WWE pro-Wrestling. He will be featured in a

upcoming WrestleMania pay-per-view ($54.99) extravaganza facing off against Rod Blagojevich.
