Remember "Joe the Plumber"?
Yeah, that was the guy who had received his fifteen minutes of fame during the last Presidential election in 2008. He was mentioned by Republican nominee John McCain, and then became a household name when both McCain and Obama vied for his sympathies, and seemed to be promising to look out for his best interests.
Well, Joe the Plumber is back. Apparently, he was into satisfied with having fifteen minutes of fame.
He has made news recently, once again. It is the 2012 election, and I guess he feels that each candidate should bend over backwards to accommodate him, like they did in the last election. He is speaking out again, making his opinions heard.
Only this time, it is on a fiery subject. Also, this time, both candidates are probably going to have raised eyebrows, and try to distance themselves from good 'ol Joe the Plumber.
Speaking about the border with Mexico, Joe vocally supported a "damn fence" to seal off the border, and also added that it was time to bring guns "and start shooting".
Joe the Plumber, who's real name is actually Joe Wurzelbacher, is an Ohio Republican candidate for Congress. he prides himself on being outspoken, and politically incorrect.
Could have fooled us, Joe!
Maybe we would have been better off not getting to know Joe the Plumber at all. Fifteen minutes is far more than he deserves.
