Joe the Plumber goes off on McCain, says he 'screwed up my life'
"McCain was trying to use me," Wurzelbacher said, according to public radio correspondent Scott Detrow. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”

Joe the Plumber is no longer a fan of either Sarah Palin or John McCain, it seems.
Joe, also known as Sam Wurzelbacher, told an audience in Pennsylvania this week that McCain "is no public servant."
"McCain was trying to use me," Wurzelbacher said, according to public radio correspondent Scott Detrow. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”
"I don’t owe him s—," Wurzelbacher continued. "He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

My reaction, too. But like SP, he must have gotten caught up in the 'wowness' of his sudden celebrity status. At least he, unlike SP, realizes it's over.
I wonder how much McCain, or the RNC, is paying SP to publicly say she backs McCain. Can't believe they'd enlist her help(?) again after the first go round.

I was hoping there would be more at the link explaining how McCain ruined this guys life. Not so. All I can say is wah, wah, wah, cry me a river. He's an adult, he wasn't drug into this kicking and screaming. He tried to take advantage of his instant fame as much, if not more than McCain. It just didn't seem to work out too well for him. But heck, he got another 15 minutes and people are eating it up! That mean old McCain @@
<< He is an ordinary citizen that was perceived by the left wing as a threat so they went after him with a vengeance that was completely unnecessary...>>
I don't know that I would classify it as evil or that Joe was considered a threat. I think they wanted to know who he was, and in looking him up, discovered that he lied about a lot about himself, so they reported that.
