Joe the Plumber vs. Bill the Bomber

Mary Katherine Ham has a post at the Weekly Standard blog.  It seems a construction worker showed up at a McCain-Palin rally, and was very angry.  At the press.

Anger at a McCain-Palin rally, for the press:

"Are you going to check my license, too?" he asked me. "Are you going to check my immigration status? I'm ready, I have everything here. Whatever you want, I have it. I have my green card, I have my passport — "

I was a little surprised. Did Munoz really bring his papers with him to a McCain rally? I asked.

....

Someone asked why Munoz had come to the rally. "I support McCain, but I've come to face you guys because I'm disgusted with you guys," he said. "Why the hell are you going after Joe the Plumber? Joe the Plumber has an idea. He has a future. He wants to be something else. Why is that wrong? Everything is possible in America. I made it. Joe the Plumber could make it even better than me. . . . I was born in Colombia, but I was made in the U.S.A."

The scene turned into a mini-fracas when David Corn, of Mother Jones, defended press coverage. Munoz was having none of it. Why, he asked, would the press whack Joe the Plumber when it didn't want to report on Obama's relationship with William Ayers, the former Weather Underground bomber? "How come that's not in the news all the time?" Munoz said. "How come Joe the Plumber is every second? I'm talking about NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN."

John McCain has the support of Joe the Plumber and Tito the Construction Worker.

Barack Obama has the support of Bill the Bomber.
