Joe the Plumber Becomes Joe the Bummer

Joe the Plumber, made famous in the 2008 Presidential race for questioning then-candidate Obama on his tax plan, has apparently switched his tune.

First he calls Obama one of the more honest politicians:

"I think his ideology is un-American, but he’s one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do."

He's also attacking former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for supporting John McCain. Now, this doesn't really make sense due to the fact that Palin likely supports dozens of candidates, of which Joey the P. might not like all of them. In addition, he's dumping on John McCain for featuring him in campaign events.

"He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

Except that Joe didn't have to go to any of those campaign events or appear with McCain or Palin if he didn't want to. Hell, he could have gone to Obama rallies and helped him out. So Joe has book and interview deals pending and people wanting him to run for office, and all of a sudden John McCain came in and kicked him in the royal American?

I think not.

Good for Joe the Plumber

Joe the Plumber, hero to the working class and redistributing-accuser, is now a war correspondent for Pajamas Media. PJ features some of the most cutting-edge news on the web today including Iraq the Model and Little Green Footballs.

Fortunately Joe is a strong supporter of Israel, just like this blog:

The famous plumber will be focusing on the Israeli perspective on the situation. "It's tragic, I mean it really is,” Wurzelbacher told CNN affiliate WNWO “I don't say that in any little way. It's very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people supposed to do."

Joe the Plumber, the next Edward R. Murrow.
