Joe the Plumber Endorses McCain, Mongers Fear

In the most surprising move since every episode of "Three's Company," Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher endorsed John McCain today, and hit the campaign trail on the GOP Presidential wishful's behalf.

Fox News reports
that the pipesmith gave his blessing to some pretty extreme statements out on the stump:
The questioner said he was "concerned" with Barack Obama's associations and "It's my belief that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel."

Wurzelbacher responded: "I do know that."

The questioner then complained about Obama's tax policies and reiterated his Israel comment.

"Well, you know what, I'll actually go ahead and agree with you on that one," Wurzelbacher said. "You know ... no, I agree with ya.'"
He went on to say that he is "honestly scared for America," and that Obama would end Democracy. Undecided voters Turkey Lurkey and Cockey Lockey were moved by Wurzelbacher's appearance.

McCain is completely invested in the idea of "Joe the Plumber," but he might find himself at odds with the real thing if this keeps up.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
