On Joe Wurzelbacher

Key mentions: p. 304-306
"Joe the plumber"

Palin criticizes the media for its treatment of Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," while not pursuing the connections between Obama and Weather Underground radical William Ayers. Palin celebrates Wurzelbacher as a symbolic everyman and discusses at length the inspiration he provided for other supporters.

Wurzelbacher's Response: Wurzelbacher's response: "Yes, I liked her a lot. She was real genuine. She didn't sit there and try to wow me with her being Sarah Palin. She just sat there and talked to me like a regular person. And I enjoyed that. I've met a lot of politicians that sat there and think I should be on my knees worshiping them. So she was a -- a fresh, you know, difference there."
