I'm just kidding ... Joe isn't even in charge of his own brain, so I'm fairly certain he will never get beyond being a member on some weird right winger committee (you know, in the garage next to the kegger). To prove my belief, I offer some of the interview Joe graciously gave to a freshman at Tufts University!

Q: How did you feel when you became such an important factor in the final presidential debate and the campaign as a whole?

A: Initially, I thought it was completely absurd. I was glad that I could be used as a focal point to possibly bandy around some ideas, and maybe people would open their eyes to Obama's socialist ideology. However, there were so many important issues to be discussed other than the "Joe the Plumber, Joe the Plumber." [The debate] was absolutely ridiculous. After a while, I actually got tired of it. Not so much the "Joe the Plumber" I am tired of, but there are other issues that need to be discussed.

I agree there are "other issues that need to be discussed". How about, Joe, why are you so dumb? CNN Rick Sanchez tried to touch on some of these other issues, but our boy Joe was having none of it:

To continue with Joe's latest fascinating interview...

Q: You had the opportunity to campaign with Sen. John McCain in different areas of Ohio. What is your opinion with regards to Mr. McCain?

A: This is a tough question. [The McCain campaign] is trying to throw Sarah Palin under the bus. They are trying to allude to the fact that she is the reason that John McCain might have lost this election. That does not sit well with me. John McCain has not come out and said that Sarah Palin is an honorable woman and has not protected her. In terms of my opinion, he has my respect for being a war hero, and I told him that personally, but you got to get along to go along or go along to get along. Washington has been ingrained with that mentality.

Q: As a Republican, do you feel that Gov. Sarah Palin was the right vice-presidential selection?

A: Honestly, I think she shines too much. I think vice president no, president definitely. She has moral values. She has a record of change that ... John McCain had supposedly ... Sarah was actually too big of a personality, too big of a person to be vice president.

Hmmmm ... Considing that John McCain DID defend his VP running mate just recently, Sarah Palin isn't qualified to be Alaska's dogcatcher, let alone President, and her honor has been (and continues to be) seriously questioned, I wonder if Joe has a crush. I've heard it said that love is blind, and maybe he see Sarah Palin shining brightly on her pedestal (in a sting bikini of course) offering smitten Joe a sixpack.

Last little bit for your enjoyment:

Q: There has been a tremendous amount of speculation about your political future. Web sites such as joewurzelbacher2010.com and others envision you challenging Rep. Marcy Kaptur [D-Ohio] for her seat in the House. Is there any truth to these rumors?

A: No. Marcy Kaptur is so entrenched in this area, I do not believe [anyone] could actually win against her. People around here for whatever reason love her to death. No one actually has ever come close in how many years to take her seat. Also, if I were to run for Congress, it [would be] a very big sacrifice. I would not take it lightly or as a sense of entitlement as some congressmen do. I would actually represent the people. I would be out there day to day, talking to people and finding out what is going on. I would really work hard.

The problem with that is I would not go along to get along in Congress. I would be loud, but I would be one voice among 435 people. I can do far more with this watchdog group that I am creating ... the watchdog group is going to be essentially for the American people, Democrats or Republicans; I do not care. The Web site will remind the people in Washington that they are there to serve us ...

Hey Sarah! Break out the moose meat chili ... After all that there thinkin', poor Joe must have a severe headache!!! And I am sooo relieved that Joe will be protecting us all with his watchdog group and website. Errr, I mean membership website since he has all those back taxes to pay!
