Joe The Plumber Ditches McCain (VIDEO)

John McCain announced that Joe the Plumber was at his rally in Defiance, Ohio Thursday morning. But when McCain called on the campaign poster-man to stand up, he wasn't there. "Joe, where are you? Is Joe here with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today," McCain said. When there was no response, he added, "Alright, well, you're all Joe the Plumber so all of you stand up!" Watch:

McCain campaign officials later said that Joe was slated to appear with McCain at a different campaign event on Thursday.

The McCain campaign new slogan: "We provide production-ready SNL material"

[proudloudlib]

Seriously! The writers don't even have to make anything up.

[guamarcy]

How pitiful but an omen of the lack of loyalty among those with whom McCain has chosen to surround himself.

[amcg50]

It is really sad when some character takes advantage of the elderly

[brijit]

Does this qualify "Joe" the "plumber" as a maverick?

[R1Rider]

Joe the Reformer?

[CaliBoy145]

What a loser

[beantowner]

"Joe" the plumber? McCain? BOTH!

[sleepygal]

Say it ain't so, Joe!

[ellawensmom]

You know what really chaps my hide about this? If Obama hadn't cared enough about people to go out and knock on doors, Joe the "plumber" wouldn't have any agents. He wouldn't be on the tour with McCain. He wouldn't be pondering a career in country music. He'd be the nobody that McCain truly believes him to be.

Joe, what you've got now, you owe totally to Obama. I hope you never forget that.

[MaxieM]

Obama has yet to take office, but he's already created a job... :)

[beantowner]

Oooh, that's good! :-)

[ellawensmom]

The funny thing is that it will probably put him in a higher income bracket. If he ends up with a million, he'll pay higher taxes, and he'll be back to square 1.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Sarah digs her stiletto into McCain's back while Joe the Plumber is off working on his country music recording deal and beefcake calendar.

Hardy ha ha. Not many true friends to be found in this group!

[hellinahandbasket415]

Um, John, I'd like to extend and invitation to you to live in the Now.
Your campaign is dead and Joe doesn't care about you.
It's a hard life.

[ellawensmom]

OMG!
This Joe the Plumber thing has gone on too long. He has to be the most ridiculous political stunt in the long, ludicrous history of ridiculous political stunts.

Joe the "plumber" is out for himself. Wait till he gets a better deal, McCain. He'll be saying, "McCain WHO?"

Ever notice how groups of people engaged in bad actions always turn against each other in the end?
That's why they never seem to triumph.

senior moment

[dutt]

McCain's campaign is so full of it; I seriously doubt Joe the plumber can help him now. He needs Joe Plunger.

[AnalyzeIT]

How embrassing - can you imagine this man as president?

He can't even rely on his "ace in the hole' the plummer; can you imagine him starting another war and then calling on U. S. allies?

OBAMA-BIDEN

[drkazmd65]

"Joe,.... Joe,... where the F*ck are you Joe?,...."

*crickets*

[javagirl322]

Pitiful...
