Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher is in Washington today through the weekend, having spent the morning at Grover Norquist’s Wednesday breakfast, taken a quick smoke break, and lunched with conservative journalists before a series of events at CPAC.
The most important question: Is he still working as a plumber? “For friends and family, absolutely,” Wurzelbacher said. “I work for PJTV – they sent me to Israel.” He’s also selling a book, Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream, co-written with Thomas Tabback, who sat behind the table at the luncheon interjecting occasional insights.
“I miss plumbing tremendously,” Wurzelbacher said. “I miss working, building things … making things with my hands.”

Most Americans do not care about Joe the Plumber's activities. Who cares? Apparently, David Weigel thinks that Americans care about Joe. We do not! He will soon be forgotten!

I love Joe the Plumber. He is such an idiot and a dishonest one to boot. His claim to fame is lying in the face of the future President of the United States about his job, his plans and everything else about his sorry life and being deified for it by McCain and Palin, two intellectual giants of the Republican party. His rise to a level of leadership in the ranks of the GOP is such a signal of the poverty of spirit of that party and it should send every Republican running to a third party if not to the Democrats.
