Joe the No-Show
From John McCain's rally this morning in Defiance, Ohio:

Where was Joe, you ask? Perhaps he was meeting with his new, Nashville-based manager, Jim Della Croce. Perhaps he was rehearsing tunes for his potential country album. Perhaps he was plotting a run for Congress ("Joe the Congressman '10!"). Perhaps he was auditioning for a Home Depot ad. Perhaps he was sharing his recent epiphany--as a guy who was "undecided" until last week--that President Obama would bring "death to Israel."
Or perhaps he was doing what he's always said he wants to do--that is, "get[ting] on with [his] life and
do[ing] [his] job" as a plumber.
On second thought, never mind.
