Watch out,.......I heard Palin is Executor!!!
the Plumber's Motto:

"Your shit is my bread and butter."
Great!

Oldgold, you made me guffaw! I wonder what this is going to do to his record deal?

I'm all for unity, except with Joe. He can plumb his way to kingdom come.
Great cartoon! I was really turned off by Joe the Plumber. He had his 15 minutes of fame. Now, he should go away as soon as possible.
Bob, I hope that Joe the Plumber has had his 15 minutes. But in this age of 'super-sizing' may make that impossible. He has become the 'darling' of the right wing-nuts!
Joe the Plumber will end up on Fox or perhaps on "Survivor".
If you're reading this you're standing on my head.
JTP, Sarah Palin, McCain, and Eliz Hasselback will be offered a reality show sharing a house with Flava Flav.

Sarah was sexy, though. Playboy has to make an offer.
confession time: I never watch the news, (never fear, I do read). So lately, I've been busy with other things and when I heard about "Joe the plumber" I figured it was a rhetorical device, not a real person. (My dad's a Joe, so he hates it when someone says "any old Joe will do"). Anyway, when I found out it was a real person, I was so...disappointed is the nicest way to say it. It was so unimaginative for Joe the Plumber to be real. And it was really stupid of Joe. If anything, this election has pointed out how unimaginative and stupid the GOP can be, and how they pander to the base.
Alas, Joe, we barely knew ye...
Good riddance! We won't have to hear any more of Joe-Whatshishame and Sarah Palin. Neither of them did the McCain campaign any favors in my opinion.
Remember, now, it's "Sam the Not Really Licensed Plumber whose friends call him Joe because it sounds more Plumber-y"

Good God! That's gonna require a double album!!!
The brown album?

Funny, yeah, maybe his studio name won't be Joe the Plumber but Sam the Asswipe.
I have more personal assistants than you have toilets.
Rick Sanchez and Joe P debating the definition of 'principles' on CNN the other day was priceless. Left Mr. Plumber a little clogged.
I don't get this Joe the Plumber thing.

Once he was exposed as a Republican plant (and a phony since he's no plumber and his name is not Joe) then he should have lost any claim to the symbolism of representing the average guy.

But right wing nuts like to stick to their myths. Let them have Joe the Plumber.

The rest of the world will have President Barack Obama.
::plentiful laughter::

Phew, I needed that....
Great cartoon. I'm hoping that Joe and Sarah disappear for a long long time.
I think I called Joe for help with a clogged drain but he's yet to show.
Bob - Your cartoon is New Yorker-worthy for sure. But your comment at 1:42 pm? Priceless! You captured Mr. Plumber perfectly. Joe Plumber fell to earth (and under, apparently) like a 'plumbum' balloon.
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay; I hear their not-so-gen'tle voices calling, "Ole White Joe..."
I am so relieved to see him off the stage. Excellent!
I hear he's going to be Palin's running mate in 2012
I'm hearing grumblings of Palin having some kind of show akin to Oprah. What are the odds that Joe would be on her premier telecast.
He's Back!

c/o my heroes the ACLU. We have to take the good with the bad in the great US of A - and it looks like Joe might be with us for a while...

Joe the litigant?
I hear that was supposed to read "Joe the Investigator" initially, as Joe the Plumber got his P.I. license prior to his death. He entrusted his tombstone verbiage to Seeeerah Palin however and this is just a typo due to her never-ending ineptitude. Joe, you had it coming buddy. Even in your death McCain/Palin haunts you...
