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.
Listen here:
Wurzelbacher said he supported McCain only because he was “kinda the lesser of two evils.” However, his criticism of McCain didn’t extend to his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK). “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.

WURZELBACHER: Um, you know, honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.
Don’t be scared, Joe, Obama won’t pay any attention to you whatsoever. He has a tendency to drop people who bullshit him.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:51 pmYeah, right. You’re freakin fifteen minutes of fame came at the price of your soul, didn’t they SamJoe the unlicensed day labor can’t actually legally drive guy!
December 9th, 2008 at 4:54 pmPalin is the real deal as opposed to the blow up woman he keeps in his closet. Puhleeeeze – he hung around for what he could get out of it and his attempts to put “sumpin” in Sarah …
December 9th, 2008 at 4:58 pmhe’s just as phoney as McCain/Palin
Joe the Dumb-assed weasel.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:59 pmSaruhh needs you in Alaska, Joe. There’s lot of burst pipes, no ones going to ask if you’re licensed, and it’s dark all the time.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:00 pmUmm, SamJoe, the Arizone Drivers License Bureau would like you to call them. Heh.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:00 pmI hate to tell you this joe,but America likes FORREST GUMP better…sorry.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:01 pmWhat’s next?
A book from that old lady bigot that McInsane grabbed the microphone from when she was sh*tting her pants over Obama being an “Arab”?
Working title: “Gramma The Bigot: Fighting For Whitey” by Regnery Publishing.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:03 pmWould someone please have a camcorder rolling when this idiot goes to renew his Ohio driver’s license? Thanks, I’ll be looking for it on the MeTubes…
December 9th, 2008 at 5:04 pmWHY is the clown still getting air time?
December 9th, 2008 at 5:07 pmBECK: Really? Now why didn’t you get off the bus?
WURZELBACHER: Um, you know, honestly, because then I would have had to pay for my own way back home. Corporate Welfare rules!1!1!
December 9th, 2008 at 5:07 pmWhy, that ungrateful wretch!! Tossing the guy who gave him his 15 minutes of fame directly under the bus! Shame!
Oh, the humanity!!!!
/snark ;O)
December 9th, 2008 at 5:08 pmJoe: “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?”
Joe: “‘Cause it was dark and we were in Pennsylvania….”
December 9th, 2008 at 5:09 pmWTF??? He will move to Alaska as soon as the IRS starts checking up on him…
December 9th, 2008 at 5:15 pmJoe the Plumber will do anything for a buck. He must be out of his mind if he thinks that “liberals” are going to love parts of his books because he trashes McCain. This is a non story. Now if Joe the Plumber was telling Beck that he just took a job as a pole dancer, well, that would be different. It would interesting and worth reading.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:16 pmThese guy’s are all alike..He’s no diffrent than newt, o,lilie, limpballs or beck…Well with one exception they all make money off their crazyness.
.Her’s some advice joe, take the pipe wrench, buy a ticket to Alaska and leave your coat and shoe’s at home, it’s spring time in palin town…LOL….Blessings
December 9th, 2008 at 5:17 pmThe bus driver told him his 15 minutes of fame were up, but he stayed on the bus anyway.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:19 pmWhat a snarky little a%*hole. Who in the hell does he think is? A pulitzer prize winning economist, a foreign affairs expert, a historian perhaps. He’s dilusional and creepy, perfect for Palin’s future political aspirations. Go figure, Glenn Beck interviewed him!
December 9th, 2008 at 5:20 pmI still say he’s a character from a Jackie Gleason sketch.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:22 pmNothing on Glenn Beck’s show is ever interesting and worth hearing.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:24 pmF Joe the “unlicensed, tax-evading” Plumber. All this talk about this idiot, and the love affair between him and the Repuppetcans, while Art and Arlene “the Auto Worker’s” may not have a job. Lets talk about “real” Americans and not some B-rated celeb like Samuel “the sycophant”.

If Joe the Unlicensed Plumber tells us that Caribou Barbie is the “real deal” then I have great hopes for Caribou Barbie in the 2012 election. Maybe Caribou Barbie will select Joe the Unlicensed Plumber for her running mate since he’s the “real deal” also.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:26 pmPalin is the real deal: ignorant, dogmatic, and uninformed like Joe.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:28 pmHe 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).
Uh, no, sorry “Joe”. There aren’t a lot of liberals that will even read your little self-published pamphlet. In fact, there are probably zero liberals who will read it.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:29 pmIf the plumber is real, he had plenty of opportunity to make be heard. He was right in the media scene when the Bail-out issue came up. Too late now, I doubt there will be many rushing to buy his book.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:30 pmIt’s nice Joe still has a friend to reach out to in Glenn Beck, that will actually return his calls. Maybe not so now.
Hopefully both of them and Sarah Plain and Dumb will all be forgotten and rendered inert and useless by 2012. Maybe not Sarah, if her skirt hemlines go north for party approval.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:33 pmIf you believe Sarah Palin is the real deal, you probably believe this putz is a real plumber.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:34 pmPerhaps now would be a good time for Sam the Non-Plumber to STFU.
The rest of us have more important things to think about.
He’s not one of them.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:36 pmWait. He read a book, or wrote one?
December 9th, 2008 at 5:38 pmgummitch,
For any liberals whio might be, you know, curious, about what’s in his book, I recommend waiting for it to be published, then checking it out of their local library. That way, Joe doesn’t see a dime of your money.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:41 pmYo! SamJoe! Go check out Palin’s plumbing, wouldja? Toddster’s out to sea in a few months, good times to be had for all!
December 9th, 2008 at 5:41 pmI’m hoping “Joe” starts calling himself a “Palin-republican” and continues using that word to describe himself for the next few years.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:45 pmJoe simply wanted to make a lot of money and he’s lashing out at McCain for not staying on as his marketing tool after the election. So no, Mr. Wurtzelbacher, there will be no visible charitable foundation in your name, no multi-dollar book deal, and no lucrative speaking gigs. Please get back to work and work on obtaining your license.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:48 pmOh, and Mr. Wurtzelbacher, if your book contains the criticism of McCain not being conservative enough, don’t expect admiration out of us, unless you intend to own up to your party’s smear campaigning, fear mongering, and scorched-earth governance style.

gummitch,
For any liberals whio might be, you know, curious, about what’s in his book, I recommend waiting for it to be published, then checking it out of their local library. That way, Joe doesn’t see a dime of your money.
The only problem with that strategy is that the “publisher” is a vanity press in Texas with one other title in the catalog–written by the “publisher.” It looks like sales will be limited to online purchases from the “store” (the publisher) and it’s highly unlikely that any self-respecting library will buy a copy.
The “publisher” is apparently the ghost writer for joe’s book. If more than 10 people buy the book, I’ll be amazed. Even the dippiest wingnut is unlikely to care enough about Joe’s opinions to waste the money.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:54 pmI don’t know. Wingnuts are getting pretty damn dippy these days.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:05 pmFor a guy who never bothered to get his plumbing license, pay his taxes and was on welfare once or twice, he’s got an awful big mouth that is only matched by his miniscule brain. I hope his agents take him for about 90-95% of any money he makes.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:16 pm“It’s nice Joe still has a friend to reach out to in Glenn Beck, that will actually return his calls. Maybe not so now.”
Who else is going to go on Glenn Beck’s show? I bet he gets a great Bush “scoop” when he starts making his post-presidential Fox rounds to hawk his book.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:18 pmWurzelbacher is a F**KTARD!
December 9th, 2008 at 6:19 pmJoe the Plumber lashes out: McCain ‘appalled me,’ ‘I wanted to get off the bus.’
Geez. Ask him to unclog the Straight Talk Express’ toilet once, and he gets all huffy.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:24 pmI love SamJoe Stone Cold Steve Austin the white trash plumber’s gopher. You can’t make this sort of stupid shit up. The boy is so being played and yet he seems to think he is some sort of meaningful person. I hope someone advises him to bank a little of whatever he is making during his brief moment in the absurdity limelight so as to have that nest egg for when his silly ass is thrown to the curb by those exploiting his lame ass
December 9th, 2008 at 6:42 pmGiven the Plunger’s last name is Wurzelbacher, you’d think he’d want to do commercials with McCain.
Just give McCain a set of big bifocals, bad threads for them both and they could both sell Wurzelbacher popcorn. At least it would extend their fame instead in an outward direction, instead of having JTP be the Gary Coleman of politics.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:59 pmNow Joe is losing steam and attention. Joe made a point to push his way to speak to Obama, now why would he want to talk to a man that scares him. Watching the video of that meaning Joe didn’t seem scared but excited in meeting the candidate. Now I guess his best friend John McCain wont answer his calls and is finished using him. Joe brought into the McCain/Palin scam and now he’s paying for it. Talking stupid wont pay the bills for Joe the unlicensed Plummer.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:01 pmwhy is this manwhore getting media attention these days?
December 9th, 2008 at 7:32 pmIs McCain going to be savaged twice by fellow Republicans? SC in 1999 was bad enough, but if he gets thrown under the Palin bus…
I suppose it might be seen as karmic payback for his personal life (re: first wife).
December 9th, 2008 at 7:35 pmjoe the welfare cheat not even a plumber is in for a rude awakening if he thinks liberals would bother to read the swill he’s writing. what’s the anticipated printing? 15,000 copies?
December 9th, 2008 at 7:39 pmSo who is ghost writing this thing? That stupid annoying “Git r Done” guy or is it that “You might be a redneck” not so funny comic whose name I have no interest in knowing or remembering?
December 9th, 2008 at 7:55 pmWhy doesn’t he go away like the chick who got “beat up” because of her mcmummy/mooseyak bumpersticker?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:21 pmThis guy makes my teeth hurt…
December 10th, 2008 at 12:03 amOf course he thinks Sarah Palin is great. He’s just like her.
Dragging out his 15 minutes of fame for as long as possible.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:01 amWhy is Sam the not-a-plumber still getting airtime?
December 10th, 2008 at 4:06 am“Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.
- That just about says it all about Joe’s intellect/politics.
December 10th, 2008 at 6:36 amJoe votes with his dick and/or he’s exceptionally stupid.
OMG Sarah Palin is so lame, i saw on MSNBC The Complete Book of the Collected Wisdom of Sarah Palin in here own words — it’s blank which is perfect. i can’t believe joe the non plumber is still milking his time and saying she has a force! ooooh, she’s a jedi now!
December 10th, 2008 at 7:53 am“Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said
She sure is the real deal: the real delusional deal that is.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:20 amNo worries, “Joe”. The right-wing machine will go into full swing to make sure you sell lots of books. Well, they will buy up thousands of them (like they do for Ann Coulter) to drive up your ratings and try to put you on the bestseller list. Meanwhile, those thousands of copies will moulder in a warehouse until they can find a place in a landfill for them.
And anyone who thinks that Sarah Palin is “the real deal” needs to be checked in to a mental hospital for observation. Clearly, you’re out of your mind.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:33 amThe Plumber :”I was angry. In fact I wanted to get off the bus”.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:47 amBut later a publisher came with a better idea…”Get a nice size check, and throw McCain under the bus”…
Is he groomed to be the W House spokesman for the ‘Real Deal’ Sarah Palin when she wins?.
When was it the last time this guy did any plumbing work ?!
December 10th, 2008 at 9:55 amCan you say: Joe the IDIOT!?!
December 10th, 2008 at 10:42 amOh, so **NOW** he wants off the bus, but he didn’t say that before the election.
I happen to like ferrets and weasels. So I can’t use those terms in a perjorative sense.
You sir are no weasel.
