Joe the Plumber Wants to Make Love to Washington



The Republican's Working Man hero Joe the Plumber could barely contain himself last night before a crowd of adoring, media-bashing conservatives.

"God, all this love and everything in the room - I'm horny," declared Joe, whose real name is Samuel Wurzelbacher.

The particular state of his libido was way too much information, certainly for the Sleuth. But she wasn't the only slack-jawed person in the room.

It seemed that all of those who were gathered in the ballroom of Washington's Grand Hyatt hotel for the Media Research Center's annual "DisHonors Awards" ceremony designed to bash the dreaded liberal elite media were stunned. Buzz immediately commenced.

"Did Joe the Plumber really just say he's horny?" "Did you hear Joe say 'horny'?" "Why is he horny and why is he telling us?"

And those were only the comments overheard at the Sleuth's table.

Joe was all hot and bothered over the standing ovation he received as he walked on stage to accept accolades from the top liberal media watchdog. Lee Greenwood's GOP country classic "God Bless the USA" boomed overhead as Joe, wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a flannel shirt unbuttoned to his navel, strolled on stage.

After declaring he was horny, Joe mumbled a few other things about being the "token redneck" and the media loving him, and then sat back down in a sea of conservative luminaries that included G. Gordon Liddy, former Attorney General Ed Meese, radio talk show host Mark Levin, Fox News' Brit Hume and former House speaker (for half a minute) Bob Livingston.

The Media Research Center's DisHonors Awards ceremony was an evening of roasting the "most outrageously biased liberal reporting of the year." And it was also an evening of lampooning the mainstream media's treatment of President Obama, who the gala's hosts sarcastically referred to as "the Messiah."

Several members of the "lame-stream media," as Monica Crowley referred to them (er, us), won awards.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews won the "Media Messiah Award" for his famous Potomac Primary day comment that "I felt this thrill going up my leg." ABC's Bill Weir won the "Obamagasm Award" and HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher won the "Half-Baked Alaska Award for Pummeling Palin" for questioning whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, or her daughter Bristol, was the true biological mother of baby Trig.
