JOE MANIA….A Norfolk station asked John McCain today why he wasn’t doing better in Virginia. Here’s his answer:
“We’re doing much better actually, there’s a poll out today that shows we’re within about three so we’re moving up and moving up fast. And look, Joe the Bomb — uh — Joe the Plumber turned the whole thing around.”
The comical part of this is that McCain almost called him “Joe the Bomber.” Ha ha. But the genuinely weird part of it is McCain’s bizarre embrace of Joe. It’s one thing to use the guy as a campaign prop, but to tell the world that it was Joe who “turned the whole thing around”? That Joe is his personal “role model”? You gotta be kidding. Those aren’t things you’d want to admit even if they were true, are they?
