During the third presidential debate John McCain addressed several statements to Joe the Plumber. Eventually, Barack Obama felt compelled to address the same plumber.
Not long after the debate, reporter Thomas P. Warneski from the Skewed News Syndicate emailed me with the sad news that McCain's new best friend, Ohioan Joe Wurzelbacher, has been diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder.
At the time of the debate, according to Mrs. Wurzelbacher, her husband was behaving as alternate personality, Joe Six Pack (who is actually Sarah Palin's new best friend). Because of that, and because he'd chugged six tall Budweisers, he wasn't able to recognize that any of the candidates' statements were actually meant for him. In fact, when Mr.Wurzelbacher heard McCain speak of Joe the Plumber the second time, he began to complain about the outrageous bill he'd received from a local plumber last month, and he shouted at the TV, 'You oughta' tax that damned rip-off artist and send me a refund!'
In addition to Joe Six Pack and Joe the Plumber, Mr. Wurzelbacher's disorder also manifests the following personalities: Joe Camel, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Cocker, and Joe Stalin. So actually, Senator McCain has six new best friends. However, SNS reporter Warneski could not confirm that all of them are actually registered to vote, or that they would necessarily all agree to support McCain if they were.
