Just spotted a new McCain ad running on the Asheville, NC, station with tons of people saying, "I'm Joe the Plumber."
No, I'm not kidding. McCain obviously doesn't realize that the whole Joe the Plumber thing bombed, big time. That it was a stinker. That he looked stupid for starting the whole thing.
That it reminded us all that he picked Sarah Palin with no vetting, and then came back to look stupid for it. And he didn't learn anything from that, because he jumped out there with Joe the Plumber without vetting him, either. Brought him up... what was it? 23 times in the debate, not realizing Joe was not undecided, not registered as an independent, not a licensed plumber, didn't pay his taxes anyway, was in no position to buy the plumbing business and earned so little he'd get a tax cut from Obama.
Hello, McCain! Did you not see this blow up in your face already?
Apparently the blow-up-in-your-face thing didn't register with McCain.
Because he has a new ad out, with a quote from Obama about "spreading the wealth around" and then all these different people (who seem embarrassed to even be saying it, yet saying, "I'm Joe the Plumber."
As in, we will all suffer like Joe under Obama's tax-and-spend plan. (Again, hello, McCain? Bush is the biggest tax-and-spender of all, and we all know that, and the economy is in the crapper right now, so trying to label Obama a scary tax-and-spender is really...divorced from reality, as much of your campaign.)
Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, the newest stupidity from John McCain's campaign, an ad called "I'm Joe the Plumber"
