Joe Wurzelbacher, best known as the gauchely-used pawn of McCain/Palin 2008, made some seriously unsurprising remarks about the political landscape he, uh, knows so well during a recent interview on Glenn Beck’s republican radio show.
The blue collar plumber-turned-right winger suggested that he was not too darn impressed by many of the policy-related remarks McCain made to him while on the campaign trail in the late stages of America’s most infamous presidential election. “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.”
But you didn’t get off the bus, did you, Joe? No, you milked it for three weeks, professing your endorsement—of questionable worth—for the Republican ticket. You soaked it up as t-shirts featuring your namesake circulated among fans of the conservative right. And now, you’re doing interviews as if you just read Heidi and Spencer’s Guide to Limelight Conservation.
…but that’s ok, you are just banking on your rights as an American. We just wish you’d said that stuff on the campaign trail, back when your story shaped 70% of Sarah Palin’s references to the dreams of our nation.
