While clinging to his guns and religion today -- no, really -- Paul Ryan invoked Joe the Plumber.
“You know, every now and then President Obama sort of drops his veil," Ryan said. "He’s less coy about his philosophy. He sort of reveals his true governing policy, what he really believes. Remember back in 2008, remember the guy Joe the Plumber? Remember when he said, you know, ‘We wanna spread the wealth around’? It’s this belief that the economy is some fixed pie, that there’s only just so much money in America, it’s fixed, and that the job of the government is to redistribute the slices of the pie. That’s not true.”
Yes. I remember Joe the Not-Really-A-Plumber.
I remember he said we should build a fence and start shooting Mexicans.
I remember when he claimed gun control laws caused the holocaust.
And not for nothing -- Paul Ryan, who claims to be a cheesehead from Wisconsin, showed up in Pennsylvania today waving a Steelers' Terrible Towel. Of course the real joke is that the Steelers represent unionized steel workers from the 1940s and the Green Bay Packers are a community-owned, non-profit entity. You know, socialist stuff.
Good job Ryan!
