Now, Joe the Plumber has become a defining issue once again, this time in the 2010 race for attorney general in Wurzelbacher’s home state of Ohio.
Last year, Wurzelbacher became a symbolic “everyman” — at least for conservatives — after Sen. John McCain mentioned him several times during a nationally televised presidential debate. McCain referenced him so many times, in fact, that Saturday Night Live spoofed him for using “Joe the Plumber” in virtually every sentence, culminating in the hilarious deadpan laugh line from the actor playing McCain (to the actor playing Obama): “Frankly, I trust Joe the Plumber a lot more than I trust your plan, because Joe the Plumber is a straight shooter, and one of the finest people I’ve ever known.”
