Joe the Plumber ‘angry’ McCain backed bailout ("I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him")

[Amerigo Vespucci]

TOLEDO, Ohio - Turns out that "Joe the Plumber" isn't such a big fan of John McCain after all.

America's most famous plumber said he was appalled by the Republican presidential candidate's reasons for supporting the government's $700 billion bank rescue plan, and he said they nearly caused him to abandon McCain.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, who became a household name in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, said he asked McCain why he voted for the bank bailout and was stunned by some of the answers.

"I was angry," Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Tuesday. "In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him."

1. I'm always reminded of him when I see the Mucinex ads

with the green quasi-blue-collar/couch potato mucus glob
what "made it possible for a grotesque mediocrity to play a hero's part"?

2. Wanted to get off the bus, but was too much of a fame whore to actually do it.

STFU, Joe.

3. Isn't his fifteen minutes up yet?

Someone is a little full of himself!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. He's hovering around 18 minutes, 45 seconds...

...when you think of it, he's got greater staying power than Palin. Granted, there have been some stories in the last day or two about her hair stylists and other such trifle, but Joe's still getting interviews. It's a MANDATE!

:rofl:

8. A mandate!!!

Can't blame him for taking this as far as it will go. He doesn't want to go back to unclogging toilets!

Okay, when did your avatar's eye start twitching? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

11. Twitching? My avatar? Why, I do not know what you mean!

:rofl:

13. Hmmmmm

Must be my monitor! Been driving me nuts for the past week.



Need to cut back on the beer.

[VOX]

4. So long, Joe. I mean, we're all gonna, like, you know, miss you, totally...

You know, Joe, it's really horrible the way you were, you know, used, abused and disposed of by McCain. (Good thing you nailed down your book rights before the poop hit the, like, fan.) I mean, it's like really generous of you to have held this, you know, this terrible secret deep inside until the gravy train, like, flew off the rails. And you're right, I mean, we shouldn't bash Sarah Palin for her, you know, sincerity. I mean, the bashing has nothing to do with her, like, being as dumb as a cinder block, or her serving, like, two terms as governor of a state that, you know, has a population that matches, like, Charlotte, North Carolina. She may actually have a, like, a presence, but, I mean, you won't know for sure until you've, like, had that all-important beer with her. You know best Joe, and yes, we should all, like, listen to Sarah and get all that, you know, important information about things, like, what shoe store has the best price on those Naughty Monkey heels? And we all know that she wants to, I mean, like work for the American people in like, absolutely the worst way. :grr:

7. But he stayed on the campaign trail with McSHAME

Which proves what we already knew....he's your typical Reich-wing hypocrite!

9. "But I was too busy driving it over him."

You are a prop who's usefulness is way past over.

10. As long as he thought he had a chance to bang sarah he wasn't

going anywhere...."she's the real deal"....whatever ashhole!

[mondo joe]

12. He's a grifter, like Palin.

Nothing but an unethical opportunist.

14. Who gives a frog's fat ass what this useless oxygen-stealer has to say.....
