Well That Didn't Take Long [Mark Hemingway]
Barack Obama's already mocking Joe the Plumber.
CLARIFICATION: Over at Hot Air, they observe that this video is cut to take Obama's words out of context. The full quote is "He’s trying to suggest that a plumber is the guy he’s fighting for." Allahpundit notes, "They’re laughing at McCain for claiming to be a friend of the middle class, not at Wurzelbacher for being middle class" — which in context seems like a reasonable interpretation. So whatever issues you have with the Obama campaign and how they're handling Joe the Plumber, this video is a bit unfair to Obama.
