GOP disaster: First Specter and now Joe the Plumber is Leaving the GOP
Joe the Plumber has had it with the Republican Party. He's folling Arlan Specter and leaving the party. He will be missed.



Christian Science Monitor, 5/7/09:

That’s the magnitude of today’s announcement. A member of the actual Republican 2008 presidential ticket is giving up. Quitting. Leaving. Skipping town.

Plumber, perhaps the most well-known quasi-plumber turned author turned war correspondent turned economic advisor turned political reporter turned public speaker, announced today that he — like Specter — was throwing in the towel.

Who got this exclusive? Credit TIME magazine. And there’s worry that traditional journalism is dead?

Michael Grunwald reports that Plumber (we know he has another last name but Plumber is easier to spell) is “so outraged by GOP overspending, he’s quitting the party — and he’s the bull’s-eye of its target audience.”

2. The difference is that he's not leaving because they're too loony
He's leaving because they're not loony enough.
