And they seemed like such a happy couple:

Joe Wurzelbacher lashed out Tuesday at former GOP presidential nominee John McCain, the man who made Wurzelbacher famous as “Joe the Plumber.” 

Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being on the campaign trail and seeing some of the things that take place.”

Not so dirty as to actually say anything that might jeopardize his gig as a high-profile campaign prop, of course, but there’s a good reason for that:

Asked why he didn’t leave McCain’s campaign if he was “appalled” by the candidate, Wurzelbacher said, “honestly, because the thought of Barack Obama as president scares me even more.” 

While Wurzelbacher was critical of McCain during the interview, he had nothing but praise for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. “Sarah Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said.

Once again, Joe has his finger firmly on the pulse of Real America – the sort of notionally-successful, patriotic and persecuted delusionals who are, even now, fighting the good fight to stop Barack Hussein Obama from becoming President on the grounds that he is a Secret Musselman from Darkest Africa. The Republican party is doomed.
