Joe the Plumber goes off on McCain, says he 'screwed up my life'
By Eric Zimmermann - 02/14/10 11:12 AM ET
Joe the Plumber is no longer a fan of either Sarah Palin or John McCain, it seems.

Joe, also known as Sam Wurzelbacher, told an audience in Pennsylvania this week that McCain "is no public servant."

"McCain was trying to use me," Wurzelbacher said, according to public radio correspondent Scott Detrow. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”
"I don’t owe him s—," Wurzelbacher continued. "He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

In fact, Wurzelbacher's dislike for McCain is so strong that he no longer supports Sarah Palin simply because Palin will campaign for McCain's re-election.

As for Obama: "I think his ideology is un-American, but he’s one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do."

1. Yes Joe...you were just a pawn. You had neither responsibility nor control.

n/t

[gratuitous]

2. The reaction is always interesting

When the mark realizes he's been played. Does he shrug and walk away with a rueful smile? Does he duck his head in embarrassment and depart the scene quickly? Or does he raise a big stink, broadcasting to the world what a sucker he was, and that everyone watching could see as plain as day? Gee Sam, you're a chump. It's not news to about 300 million of us.

3. What a mindless douche. F'em. n/t

4. McCain lost the gig, so poor Joe gets no attendant coattail appointment,

so it's a no-go on the career uplift thing.

Bummer, Joe.

[lame54]

20. not to mention, he never got into Palin's skirt

[Paper Roses]

5. Look at it this way: Maybe he has some beans to spill.

Just a positive thought on his sorry life.

17. I doubt it

They never would have let this mindless douche near anything sensitive. Apologies to douches everywhere.

[Wickerman]

6. Uh, Joe, you were living in a fantasy before you met McCain

and you still are. A loser then, a loser now. I don't want to defend McCain here, but it would seem blaming him for your life's struggles might be a tad rash.

[randr]

7. Joe and the rest of the "average american guys'

need to wake up and figure out which side of the toast is buttered.
They have been used by the fright wing for so long they think repugs actually care about them.

[City Lights]

8. He used you, or you used him?

:shrug: Kinda hard to tell from where I'm sitting. Ya know, Sammy Joe, you didn't have to talk every time a microphone was shoved in your face. Nor did you have to write a book. :eyes:

:nopity: for a :dunce:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Exactly! It was a symbiotic relationship.

Everyone using everyone else. Go wax your head, Joe. Maybe you can sell advertising space.

[asjr]

10. I think Joe just wanted attention and

inadvertantly set himself up.

[LynneSin]

11. Joe there is only one person to blame for your fucked up life and well, that's you

It's called "NO" and you could have used it DOZENS of times.

I would have used it the moment they found you weren't a licensed plumber. But hell you took your 15 minutes and tried to stretch out long past it's due date. So if anyone is to blame for your miserable life it is you - you miserable prick!

[sharp_stick]

12. Am I the only one

that wants to punch this lying prick in the face over and over again everytime he shows up to ruin a TV screen?

[MiniMe]

13. Joe, there is a lesson to be learned here, but I doubt you will learn that

That is what republicans do, they come in, use you, talk a good talk, and then leave you hanging. They have a wham=bam-thank-you mam mentality.

[lunatica]

14. Here you are Joe. Use this

on your shitty life

[lame54]

21. he probably doesn't know what that is

[seleff]

15. DUers..pretty derisive towards an average Joe American...

I feel less judgemental. At least he's waking up from the fantasy he was living. He's having a hard time just like millions and millions of so many of our fellow brothers and sisters. I think sharing dialogue and being educational with guys like him in the long term a better approach to the future than spewing simple feel-good derision. But then again, I'm a softy in general.

[Dappleganger]

16. He's not average, he was a willing pawn

who rode the gravy train until it no longer suited him.

What is this, freeper day in DU?

[Ishoutandscream2]

19. If he's an "average American" then get me the hell out of here

[City Lights]

22. Why do you consider him to be an average American?

His rise to fame began when he asked Obama about the taxes a person making $250,000/year will pay. But he made nowhere close to that salary. And he's not really a licensed plumber in Ohio. He's a fraud. And a tax cheat. Is that "average" to you? :shrug:

I have ZERO sympathy for the asswipe. He brought ALL OF IT on himself.

[lunatica]

23. His first conversation was with Obama

If Obama can't talk you into something then no one can. That's how obtuse sam wurzelbacher is. He's an Idiocrat who had delusions of grandeur. He's now into big time self-pity hoping people will keep him in the news.

[YOY]

24. You actually think he's "average Joe"?

He's no Joe. He's no plumber.

Shit...I guess somebody had to buy it.

[Blue Owl]

18. I bask in the glory of your reflected failure

Joe was a just a prop in GOP bizarro world where everything is a manufactured lie -- he should go back to more fulfilling work like fixing toilets.

[Initech]

25. "Joe" is an asshole but it's pretty clear that McCain / Palin used him.

And he's just now finding this out.

[demtenjeep]

26. Meaning really, he isn't making any money anymore being McCain's pet

if he were still getting a lot of money, he would not be doing this now.
