Joe went from being an unlicensed plumber to being a media star. He was booked on all the best shows, became a <a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/01/13/more-from-joe-the-plumber-in-israel/" target="_blank">correspondent</a> for Pajamas Media, and even “wrote” a book.</p><p>Fast forward to today and the plumber turned political pundit is <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/02/15/joe-the-plumber-on-mccain-i-dont-owe-him-s/" target="_blank">bitter and angry</a>. He now says McCain “used” him and really screwed his life up.</p><p>He also said angrily that he no longer supports Sarah Palin because she’s planning to campaign for John McCain. “He’s no public servant”, Joe says of McCain.</p><p>Keep in mind Joe said all of this <a href="http://scottdetrow.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/a-few-minutes-with-joe-the-plumber/" target="_blank">during a speech</a> endorsing state Representative Sam Rohrer at his Mobilize for Liberty event in Harrisburg.</p><p>Rohrer is allegedly one of more than 200 politicians seeking Joe The Plumber’s endorsement, of which he’s only backing five so far.</p><p>Yet, when it was pointed out to Joe that he would be a big fat nobody if it weren’t for John McCain and Sarah Palin he said, “I don’t owe him shit. He really screwed up my life is how I look at it.”</p><p>I’m not sure how becoming a coveted endorsement of more than 200 politicians and having national media access has screwed up Joe’s life, but I guess I’ll have to take his word for it.</p><p>It seems to me that Joe has let his newly acquired fame go to his head. He reminds of the Tommy Gunn character in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_V" target="_blank">Rocky V</a>. Like Gunn, Joe The Plumber is biting the hand that fed him.</p><p>I’m no fan of John McCain, but I’m a big fan of loyalty. I’m a big fan of remembering the people who got you where you are. I believe in dancing with the one that brung you.</p><p>I respect Sarah Palin for supporting John McCain. They may have differing political philosophies, but she’s not going to throw the man who took a chance on her under the bus. That’s the way people with class treat their friends. Furthermore, John McCain was a strong voice against ObamaCare &#8212; even if he was wrong on immigration and interrogation.</p><p>Joe doesn’t have to support John McCain, but he doesn’t have to publicly trash him either. Joe is acting like the hobo you give $20 bucks to and as you’re walking away he hits you over the head and takes your wallet. I may not like phony Conservatives like John McCain, but I <em>really</em> don’t like arrogant, backstabbing punks.</p><p>Joe doesn’t owe John McCain shit, but Joe wouldn’t have shit if it weren’t for John McCain and he would do well to remember that little fact.</p><p>-Chris Jones</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/02/15/joe-the-plumber-becomes-tommy-the-machine-gunn/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>More From Joe The Plumber In Israel</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/01/13/more-from-joe-the-plumber-in-israel/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/01/13/more-from-joe-the-plumber-in-israel/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:57:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Celebrity News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gaza conflict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Israel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[joe the plumber]]></category> <category><![CDATA[joe the reporter]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/?p=5910</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re not watching Joe The Plumber&#8217;s live reports from Israel &#8212; you&#8217;re missing out.
