Hahaha, John McCain probably felt like an idiot when he called on “Joe the plumber” to stand up at a rally only to realize that “Joe the plumber” (whose real name is Samuel) wasn’t actually there!
Man, nothing seems to be going right at these McCain rallies.

If you watched the debates tonight (Wednesday night), you will have heard both candidates reference somebody named “Joe the plumber”. I didn’t think much of it except that I thought it was a stupid replacement for the term “Joe six-pack” which Sarah Palin has been throwing around. But I just realized that this “Joe the plumber” is in fact a real person that both the candidates are referring to!
Katie Couric had a phone interview with the real Joe, known as Joseph Wurzelbacher, from Holland, Ohio and asked him how he feels about his recent 15 minutes of fame. Wow.
