Joe The Plumber

I think that Joe The Plumber is destined to become a euphemism that I will use to describe anyone who is talking out of their ass about things they don't know about and I'll refer to my kids teachers as a Joe The Plumber kind of lady and my kid will repeat that to the teacher who is actually a Democrat but just kind of young and conservative looking and she will be really offended and my kid will be really confused as to why and I'll have to explain who he is and even though it will be 15 to 20 years after this election has been written into the history books as I explain who he is I will feel a little sick to my stomach that the motherfucker is still living on in conversations around the country at any given point in any given day and I'll vow to myself never to bring his name up again but then a few weeks later I'll be in the grocery store flipping through a magazine and happen upon a Where Are They Now and a big picture of Joe the fucking Plumber staring up with me.
