The Ohio plumber, who has no license and is actually named Samuel Wurzelbacher, spoke at a McCain campaign event in Columbus Monday. A McCain supporter asked if "a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel." JTP hardly batted an eye.

"I'll go ahead and agree with you on that," Wurzelbacher said.

Only in America could a side-show freak like that be a newsworthy voice on the campaign trail.

Joe (who's name is Sam) The Plumber (who's an unlicensed general contractor), bothers Obama about the prospect of buying (he only makes 40k a year) his bosses business (that wasn't for sale) and facing higher taxes (that Sam doesn't pay) on the $280,000 said business doesn't even make half of in any given year.

Turns out SamJoe would get a tax break under Obama's plan, but why let facts get in the way of far-right hyperbole? Now, it seems, SamJoe is now working hard to bring his trademark idiocy to the realm of Foreign Policy!

...and the media reports it as if it were worth noting somehow.

Next up: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's plan to ween the US off of foreign oil by... some year with a bunch of numbers in it.

Fucking insane.
