Joe the Plumber Rips on McCain; Thinks Palin is "the Real Deal"

"Who in the what now?"  I hear you thinking.  "Joe the---oh, you mean this guy?"

No:  Joe.  JOE WURZELBACHER. Joe the Plumber?  McCain's pal?  Remember him?  Sure you do.  Big block-headed guy---claims to be a plumber--- summoned up out of obscurity by McCain during one of the debates?   Nothing? 

Joe the Plumber is yet another one of those reality show stars who pathetically believe that it's possible to stretch out their 15 minutes long enough to collect some valuable cash prizes.  He's already "written" a book!   And it's got something for everyone, even liberals like you and like me---perfect as a stocking stuffer for any friends or relatives you have with an empty bookcase who needs something to put on it!

Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher has a book coming out later this month, called “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.” He previewed it on Glenn Beck’s radio show, revealing that “a lot of liberals are going to love” some of his criticisms about Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). (Think Progress)

See, he got furious with McCain because, after asking him "some pretty direct questions about the bailout," he was "appalled" by the answers.  He said:

WURZELBACHER: ...I was angry. In fact I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.

And for once, we all wanted to give Beck a big sloppy kiss because he said what we would have said:

Really? Now why didn’t you get off the bus?

To which Joe the Wurzelbacher replied, "Um, you know, honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more." 

Anyway, Joe thinks Sarah Palin is the real deal, meaning (I guess) he thinks she would be against the bailout.  We think so too:  more tax dollars poured down the financial system's bottomless gullet + no more Ted Stevens = no more earmarks for poor Sarah. 

Let's pause for a minute to sing along with Sarah!
