A Congressional candidate who never shows up

What do you get when you cross a plumber with a politician?

Would somebody pay this guy $25 for his fifteen minutes of fame? Sure, plus travel time, just get his limelight-milking face off my TV.

But, you know, even as a member of Congress, Obama's tax plan would be better for Joe than McCain's.

Update (10/31): Who knew that a joke was something that could come true? And so soon. I guess that's why humor has a short shelf life.
