Yes, I know, more of this shit.
OK, I admit it, I’m convinced that John McCain is addicted to using plants. And I don’t mean the quasi-legal medicinal kind. I wish I did. The world would be a better place. But I digress .. .
Below the fold, please find what may be, just may be, the smoking gun, wherein Joe the Plumber gives up the lie. . .
I wrote a diary here where I outlined my strong suspicions that 2 anti-war protesters at an Iowa rally, brandishing a John and Yoko sign, didn’t pass the smell test.
Previous to that, there was the black right-wing radio talk-show host at the town-hall meeting pretending to not be a right-wing radio talk-show host, and claiming to have been beaten up over his political views.
And now Mr. Wurzelbacher.
Via Andrew Sullivan, here’s my transcript of a couple of excerpts from JTP on Good Morning America.
First, Diane sawyer asks Joe if he’d had any advance warning that he was going to be featured in the debate:
“Oh no, no, no one’s er, contacted me er, as far as if I was going to be on the debate or as far as my name being used, I mean I have been contacted by them and asked to show up at a rally but er, other than that, no I just happened to be here and Barack Obama showed up”
But then, towards the end of the interview, Diane asks him how works has been – do you have any jobs today? Yesterday?
“I hope I have a lot of jobs today, I mean, yesterday I worked on a water main break for a gas station and, er, that’s er, why I didn’t give any interviews yesterday…”
The inconsistency jumped out at me: If he had not been contacted by the campaign previous to the debate (except an ordinary canvass call to attend a rally) then why is he talking about whether or not he had the chance to do interviews the previous day? Any one else find this a tad strange?
As darling Rachel would say, talk me down from this . . .
