Joe the Plumber lashes out: McCain ‘appalled me,’ ‘I wanted to get off the bus.’
Joe the Plumber lashes out: McCain ‘appalled me,’ ‘I wanted to get off the bus.’»

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). He was particularly angry about McCain’s support for the $700 billion financial bailout:

WURZELBACHER: When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen. Yet he voted for it. … And I asked him some pretty direct questions. Some of the answers you guys are gonna receive — they appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.

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

WURZELBACHER: Um, you know, honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.

3. Ahh....I'm so glad
that this fucking moron's 15 minutes are almost up. I'd actually forgotten about that bald asshole and will now have to do a bit of drinking to do so again.

He should go to Alaska and help that guy kill turkeys, I don't think you need a license for it so he'd be perfect.

11. Complete tool.
There's not a doubt in my mind that JTP kissed McCain's ass and hung off his every word every moment he was on that bus.

He's just ragging on the unpopular kid to impress the "cool" kids.

Fail.

12. Mr. Wurzelbacher may be a racist for all we know.
It is no suprise to see that he does not like McCain but worships Palin.
Palin is a racist. Her attacks on Obama during the campaign were just awful.
These two racist losers deserve eachother.

13. Next up: Palin redux.
No offense, but today, in between Blaggo outbursts, I've had pastorbating, more about terror-pal ayers, and now joe the racist plumber back for another turn. Is it primary/election season again? WTF?

30. Why does anybody still care what Samuel J. Weaselfucker the scab "plumber" thinks?
If he thinks Gramps McCain is an asshole, good for him. But the fact that he had to say so on the Glenn BecKKK show isn't going to win him any respect from me.

Mccain helps him to turn being a dumbass into a sizable chunk of money and he's slamming him. That's one ungrateful dumbass McCain based his election on there.

The man did you favor and gave you a career, plumber dude. Stabbing him in the back is not a good way of stepping out on your own.
