HOP ON THE BUS GUS

A Children’s Treasury Of ‘Joe Wilson Tries Out Honest Labor’ Photos

by Lauri Apple  

You STIR!South Carolina Congressman Joe “You LIE!” Wilson is currently riding around his district in a big fancy bus, surprising local proles by showing up at their work places and pretending like he gives a fuck about what they do all day. His road trip is officially called the “Joe Means Jobs” tour, which is Wilsonian for “vote for me and I’ll reward you with a bowl of this gruel, made from sun dried-palmetto bugs and the teardrops of impoverished families.” Let’s see where Wilson has experimented with performing real work for a change, shall we?

This is Wilson’s official rock star-style bus full of pro-job attitude. Hopefully it has air conditioning, because heat can wither even the heartiest Protestant work ethic:

short bus

Notice that Wilson decorated his own bus without accepting any government assistance. Learn by example, folks:

Wilson served barbecue to constituents to help them store up fat and gristle in their arteries in preparation for the coming winter:

While visiting a hospital in his district, Wilson asked this man if he could try on his chef’s hat. When the man said no, he was punished with a 45-minute speech on ObamaCare’s failures:

What does that green bracelet signify, Joe?

At an auto body shop, Wilson did something with a car (video NSFW — weird noises):

At a steel plant, Wilson dipped some steel in some steel-dippin’ sauce, then sat in a lawn chair and watched it dry. He told the workers that cap and trade would “put a cap in your job’s ass, if you feel me.”

At Mooneyhan’s Auto, Wilson talked to a reporter (neglecting his own Congressman job duties would destroy America) and then performed a break inspection. “Joe said he’s changed several tires,” says his blog, “but never an impact wrench (the thing that makes that cool noise, you’ll know it when you hear it, just watch a NASCAR race).” Yeah, you know it — that sound:

Tighten those nuts, Joe

Fruit-touching is one of America’s fastest-growing professions. Wilson explores this exciting new field:

Picked by non-immigrant laborers, no doubt

This dog was dead until Wilson touched it with his blessed, berry-scented hands. The dog woke up, stood tall and proud once again, and later went home with its family, very much alive:

You LIE DOWN!

That lady standing behind the dog’s bum is like, “whoah, I just saw a miracle!”

At a barbecue restaurant, Wilson poured yellow goo on some organs for people to eat/get stomach cancer with:

goolicious

Along with this picture comes a special aside:

Joe loves chicken livers so much, would you believe he shared some with the lovely Roxanne Wilson while he proposed to her. (Folks, we just can’t make this stuff up, chances are he might be the only member of Congress who was chowing down on chicken livers while doing something so important as a marraige proposal.)

Wilson’s “Journey to the End of the Jobs” adventure has only just begun, so your Wonkette will check back and see what other vocations our casually blue-collar congressman tries out for a few minutes (MANICURIST please). What other colors of goo will he pour? What other kinds of miracles will he perform? And will anything he does even come close to producing a single job? Stay tuned. [Joe Means Jobs Website]

I think Joe Wilson will only get Michael Rowe’s job when he takes it from his cold dead hands.

Autochthon August 25, 2010 at 9:31 am

Joe Means Jobs for bus manufacturers is all I’m seein’…

Norbert August 25, 2010 at 9:37 am

I just finished Ehrenreich’s Nickled and Dimed, wherein the author discusses for a couple of pages cleaning the different kinds of shit stains in toilets. I guess what I’m saying is, Joe Wilson would look hawt in a French maid outfit.

Terry August 25, 2010 at 9:38 am

So, besides posing for photos, did Joe actually say what he’s done for South Carolina other than embarassing the State and being rude?

brownpau August 25, 2010 at 9:40 am

I want to live like common people. I want to do whatever common people do.

freakishlystrong August 25, 2010 at 9:40 am

You pander! (Do people really buy this shit?) Yes. Yes they do. I give up.

charlesdegoal August 25, 2010 at 9:41 am

Demagoguery at its most depressing. Shut up and get a job, Joe.

Zadig August 25, 2010 at 9:43 am

So, wait. To promote his Joe Means Jobs campaign, he travels around and steals his constituents’ unskilled labor jobs, like a common Mexican?

WadISay August 25, 2010 at 9:43 am

Meh, Newt Gingrich will probably be biting the head off a live chicken when he proposes to his next wife.

One Yield Regular August 25, 2010 at 9:43 am

Since January, every time someone starts casually blabbing to me about anything in an even remotely Republican vein, I make it my Joe=job to gather my several dozen facial muscles into an apoplectic rictus and scream, “YOU LIE!!!”

Radiotherapy August 25, 2010 at 9:44 am

Jack off on all trades, master of none.

bbqboy August 25, 2010 at 9:46 am

Mustard basted chicken livers?
That is just WRONG!

Monsieur Fighting Grumpe August 25, 2010 at 9:47 am

Yeah yeah. He can stir and pour yellow goo, change a tire, heal dead dogs, touch fruit and serve BBQ. But can he pack fudge?

Aflac Shrugged August 25, 2010 at 9:48 am

Joe’s been all about jobs for some time now, although it’s not so much “jobs” as “-jobs.”

pirate king of the Jews August 25, 2010 at 9:51 am

Joe working for free = pandering to big business.

Dashboard_Buddha August 25, 2010 at 9:53 am

The look on the dog’s face is all, “oh no! It’s Larry Craig all over again”.

Mild Midwesterner August 25, 2010 at 9:56 am

Joe means “coffee,” not jobs.

weejee August 25, 2010 at 9:56 am

See Joe run
Run Joe, run
Joe likes block letters. Joe’s voters like block letters. Block letters are what children are first taught in school. What does that say about the reading grade level of Joe’s voters?

Dashboard_Buddha August 25, 2010 at 9:58 am

[re=645047]freakishlystrong[/re]: I wonder about that too. I’m sure the business owners and managers basically came in their pants when they heard Joe was coming (heh)…but what about the rank and file?

Formerly Preferred August 25, 2010 at 9:59 am

“Brakes.” Not “breaks.” OTOH, that Mustang owner has a very nice lawsuit all teed up when his wheels fly off because they were attached by Joe Wilson.

Darkness August 25, 2010 at 10:03 am

First cats and now chicken livers? Don’t make me like this guy too!

Shot at Wolf August 25, 2010 at 10:04 am

I live in Joe’s district. (sigh) Some of us realize that “Joe Means Jobs” is total bullshit, pure and simple. The rest of us are stupid, mindless Right-Wing Republicans who’ll likely re-elect this asshole. Just saying…

cheeto_jeebus August 25, 2010 at 10:07 am

Kim Jong Il’s people will be talking to Joe’s people soon. Their new buddy road trip movie should kill at the box office.

[re=645066]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: That cute black chef’s fists are clenched in a way that screams: “Get out my kitchen, cracker, before I show you my knife skillz.”

“You HIRE!”

AppalachianWino August 25, 2010 at 10:12 am

So that yellow goo looks like the makings of Shealy’s (Batesburg-Leesville SC) famous “hash”. It doesn’t involve hashish, but mostly pig brains and other delicacies. Typically served over rice with the regionally-appropriate mustard BBQ sauce. Delicious until I made the mistake of asking the waitress what all was in it. I had to take time off from hash.

JMP August 25, 2010 at 10:15 am

Joe, you voted against the stimulus bill, and in that very campaign blog you say you want to cut federal discretionary spending; so when you say you mean jobs, YOU LIE.

Johnny Zhivago August 25, 2010 at 10:24 am

They check a dog’s heartbeat before they eat them in S. Carolina?

Aguacatero August 25, 2010 at 10:36 am

He knew which places to visit by checking whether they have “Joe Means Jobs” signs on their walls or bodies.

Manos: Hands of Fate August 25, 2010 at 10:41 am

[re=645072]Shot at Wolf[/re]: How much you want to bet 99 percent of those jobs are thanks to Obama and the socialist stimulus plan.

Godless Liberal August 25, 2010 at 10:52 am

Dammit, I like that restaurant and now I can’t ever eat there again lest the taint of Joe Wilson remains on the food. And I mean his literal taint, because that seems like something he would do, because he is gross.

I can’t imagine why he would stop at my office but if he does I will shit on the floor and tell him I am the janitor so he needs to clean it up if he wants my vote.

Autochthon August 25, 2010 at 10:53 am

Has anyone done a doctoral thesis on the impact of bbq on South Carolina politics?

ladymacbeth August 25, 2010 at 11:25 am

I was looking for a job
And then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now

AnnieGetYourFun August 25, 2010 at 11:55 am

[re=645042]Norbert[/re]: That part of the book was the only part that stayed with me, unfortunately.

Fear of a Black Reagan August 25, 2010 at 12:03 pm

I like how that black guy in the chef’s hat is trying so hard to pretend he doesn’t know Joe Wilson is a racist douche that he can barely keep a straight face.

Potater August 25, 2010 at 12:14 pm

Speaking as a veteran of the Sign Industry, Joe’s vinyl application technique is awful.

BarackMyWorld August 25, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Lauri Apple is on fire today, folks.

Abou Diaby August 25, 2010 at 12:42 pm

Joe’s just like you. You with a $5,000 gold watch, that is.

Whiskeybaby August 25, 2010 at 12:48 pm

JOE MEANS(to give blow)JOBS(to anyone who asks)

Decker August 25, 2010 at 12:58 pm

Ah, South Carolina. Thank you for making me grateful to live in a state where our shitheel, post-Bush conservatives don’t have the sack/luxury to put “Republican for ________” on their campaign lit.

Extemporanus August 25, 2010 at 1:08 pm

[re=645099]Godless Liberal[/re]: ROTHFLISLMAO!

[re=645144]ladymacbeth[/re]:

In your life,
Why do you give valuable time
To people who don’t care
If you live or if
YOU LIE!

[re=645250]Whiskeybaby[/re]: Henceforth, we shall refer to Joe Wilson supporters as “Joe Blobs”.

BlueStateLiberal August 25, 2010 at 1:08 pm

What the hell does any of this have to do with “Joe’s for Jobs”? Last I checked, SC’s unemployment rate was one of the highest. So he’s going to create jobs by annoying the remaining few people who have jobs???

just pixels August 25, 2010 at 1:15 pm

“a marraige proposal”?

Call me olde fashioned, but I believe in traditional marriage without the gay French spelling.

Zadig August 25, 2010 at 1:33 pm

[re=645077]JMP[/re]: Sorry, there was a miscommunication somewhere along the line. The bus should read “Joe is mean to jobs”

elburrito August 25, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Joe loves COCK so much, would you believe he shared some with the lovely Roxanne Wilson while he proposed to her. (Folks, we just can’t make this stuff up, chances are he might be the only member of Congress who was chowing down on COCK while doing something so important as a marraige proposal.)

..OK I feel better about these assholes now.

Broken Malice Machine August 25, 2010 at 4:05 pm

It’s so cute when wingnuts get out and try to pretend theys connected to the folkses! At least Boner’s idea of a “job tour” is playing golf while whispering jokes to his corporate mothership about “the only job he likes to see a darky doin’ is fetchin’ him drinks and sun tan lotion” Yeah like anyone who isn’t a delusional twat would think Joe Wilson gives two shits about doing anything other than voting 99% with the GOP so long as they never offer a bill giving “special” normalized rights to minorities; that’s where old Joe draws the line and yells “You Lie!” I’ll bet he borrowed that phrase from his wife from their wedding night when he dropped his pants and had an inny….

DespicableDarwinistFaggot August 25, 2010 at 9:17 pm

Popping in to say that I approve of this recent fruit-touching craze, though I’d prefer Wilson keep his hands to himself when it comes to me, personally. That is all.

Pizzuti August 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

WHY IS JOE WILSON TAKING JOBS THAT BELONG TO THE PEOPLE?

If Joe Wilson wants the people to have jobs, why is he STEALING them!?

In fact, I believe he also shouted ¡usted miente! at the President, which is “you lie!” in Spanish!

Joe Wilson is an illegal immigrant all along… stealing our jobs! It is clear now who we must vote for in 2008.
