Sam the Non-Plumber is hilarious:
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.”
Did you make a bunch of money off the ploy?
You should read the whole post that they refer to at your link. It’s even better than their summary.
Actually, I suspect he’s complaining now because he DIDN’T make a whole pile of money off the deal… despite all his efforts to do so. Or at least he didn’t make as much as he thought he should.
He just doesn’t have the talent of Sarah Palin, I guess…
Face it. The dude is a repressed white guy. No. Matter. What.

And we know from the Super Bowl commercials that white guys are the new downtrodden.
Did you make a bunch of money off the ploy?
Obviously, not enough.
Look, he’s hiring himself out for plane fare and hotel accommodations to any D-list politician who wants to use him as a crowd-warmer. That’s so much worse than being a has-been; it’s being a never-was. His life really is screwed up. It’s not like ol’ Sam/Joe can go back to being whatever he was before he got bold with a presidential candidate and Faux News put him on a 24-hour video loop tape.
The McCain/Palin campaign plucked him up with tweezers and put him on a glass slide under a microscope and he looked so big in the bright light. But, he was always just a common little bug. When the experiment was over, they tossed him back into the grass to fend for himself…
I’m going to stop now; I feel sorry for him.
Maybe he can get on Dancing With The Stars.
That’s actually a great idea. I can totally see him doing it.
His fifteen minutes expired a long time ago. He just hasn’t figured it out yet.
Now he can go back to, you know, plumbing.
Which he is not licensed to do.
…is the fact that they say “Joe, ALSO KNOWN as Sam Wurzelbacher”. Seriously, someone is “also known” by their actual name? LOL!
So true! But really, what else can this guy do but —– a/b McInsane? Continue his lucrative plumbing career?
The latest escapades of Sarah “Facebook” Palin and Joe-Sam demonstrate what was already apparent in 2008: the McCain campaign pushed two nuts into the limelight in order to attract more attention.
Indeed, they remind me of The Cat in the Hat’s Thing One and Thing Two. McCain brought them to center stage to perform their wacky tricks. But after the election was over, they continued to create mayhem and bring pathetic embarrassment upon the GOP, McCain, and themselves.
One would expect the GOP could do no worse in 2012 but I wouldn’t underestimate their ability to surprise us with new oddities.
I think you may have ruined “The Cat in the Hat” for me forever, but it IS a brilliant observation. I will never again be able to think of Palin and Joe-aka-Sam-Wurzelbacher as anything other than Thing One and Thing Two.
