Awkward
Joe the Plumber has become the keystone of McCain's connection to "real Americans," so it was a bit awkward when McCain announced that Joe was at his rally today and asked the plumber to stand up, and Joe was off doing something more important.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

He was probably too busy trying to get his singing career going.

Wait. I thought we were all Georgians - after the Russians invaded during the summer? Does this mean we're now supposed be Georgian plummers? (Time to flash my coin slot as I hunker over then...)

With a name like Samuel Wurzelbacher, a future in country music is assured.

And, what's up with Cindy? She is more icy and out of touch than usual, they are both just so pitiful.
I guess McSame needed the fake plumber to give him more policy ideas.

Oh God what a douche! He is just pathetic.
On a side note, does anyone else not think McCain's daughter looks like either 1) a whore or 2) a drag queen?

maybe joe the plumber got locked in the bathroom. Either that or he flushed himself down the toilet.

Joe was busy giving me a blow job in the public men's room.
