I love this:

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

Seriously, I think Joe will be a great asset to the GOP.  He's a common sense guy, unencumbered by facts and data and ready and willing to speak his mind regardless of his level of expertise.  Here's an example of Joe in action, explaining why he said in October the election of Barack Obama would mean "death to Israel".

So, to summarize - Joe didn't know Barack Obama's positions on Israel.  He didn't know John McCain's positions on Israel.  He admits "you don't want my opinion on foreign policy".  He also recommends people not listen to his opinions.

I can't tell you how happy I am that the GOP is now relying on Joe the Plumber for strategy.
