Will BLANK The Bartender Become As Popular As Joe The Plumber?....

I guess we'll find out this guys name tonight on the Ed Show - the one that filmed Mitt Rmoney's 47% comments and made them public.

I'm wondering if he'll become as popular as Joe the Plumber did.

This guy really performed a service to the American People. He didn't just smart off to a politician like Joe the Plumber did.

He's a hero in my book. I'm just wondering if the Media will make him a hero or paint him in a bad light.

Any thoughts?

Probably not because he's not a self-aggrandizing douchebag. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2013 #1

the right wing media will certainly paint him as some sort of watergate-like spy/traitor unblock Mar 2013 #2

Like JoeySam the Unlicensed Plumber was.

And that's fine with me.

He's a hero. We know it. He doesn't need to be turned into a caricature, and probably doesn't want to be.

he'll be rhetorically tarred and feathered and he'll no doubt receive plenty of death threats.

those of us on the left will hail him as a hero, but he'll never get "joe the plumber" kind of celebrity.
