Joe the Plumber
From RationalWiki
Joe the Plumber (R?-Ohio) (a/k/a Samuel Wurzelbacher) is not a real plumber and does not have a real job, other than trailing Sarah Palin around like a puppy. He follows in the great Republican tradition of other plumbers.
He may have caused John McCain to lose the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election due to widespread fears that Mr. the Plumber would be appointed Secretary of Labor, causing the stock market to go higgledy-piggledy. "Higgledy-piggledy" means "a real mess".
He was allegedly going to start a career as a country music singer (failed to record a successful album), a writer (failed to gain an advance), a foreign war correspondent (failed miserably in putting together a halfway decent report), a conservative cause spokesman (failure still pending), and run for Congress in 2010 (failed after god said, like, "No"[1]).
Joe doesn't want to pay his taxes. No word yet on whether he plans on going Galt.
Large crowds of Republicans make him horny,[2] and small crowds of disinterested people make him sad.[3]
Stop the presses!!! Joe the Plumber has left the reservation.[4] A long career in the Constitution Party awaits, perhaps?
Joe the Plumber, now that the 15 minutes of fame are over, says "He (John McCain) really screwed my life up".[5]
