Looks like Joe the Plumber has gone rogue too.

"gone rouge"--favorite typo ever.

Bad news, McCain. Your plumber friend is a huge tranny now.

He reminds me more of the Penguin everyday. That voice, his stubby arms.

Sorry, he's too busy pursuing his, um, country music recording career? Yep.

Who wants to take bets on how long before he's on Big Brother or Dancing with the Stars?

It seems for the last week or two, whenever I watch footage of a McCain rally, he says something and then at least 75% of the time, the crowd boos. I watch an Obama rally, he says something, the crowd cheers.

I think that Joe the Ersatz Plumber has a future as the next "Where's Waldo?"

You know this cliche is getting tired when Joe himself has given up on it.

Gee - disorganized much? Not a good sign for the overall state of the McCain Campaign...as if there was much more evidence needed.

Also, more than 4000 people at that rally of 6000 were bussed in SCHOOL CHILDREN.

@6 - His stubby little arms annoy me so much

Also, the crowd behind him didn't stand when he told them to. Hm.

wow, i actually feel bad for mccain. his campaign is ridiculous and he and the crowd clearly know it.

i agree with @5, the crowd seems like they're phoning it in.

that's NOT what BHO told S. Joseph Wurzelbacher, and every mouth breather in the crowd knows it, just like they know they'll never in their lives make 250K taxable income in a year.

He sounds like some old man on his deathbed calling for his favorite son, who isn't there because he's out racking up charges on the old man's credit card while he still can. Meanwhile, the other kids are all there feeling slighted and are beginning to wish he'd go ahead and die already because it's apparent he never really loved them at all.

The more McCain reminds me of my crazy, rambling Grandpa, the more I like him. It's a conspiracy I tells you!

I keep watching this because I'm really fond of the way McCain calls him "Senator Obamus." Sounds positively Roman.
