Yes, Max, he is like Archie Bunker for 2008: an almost cartoonish composite (but this time in real-life) who was chosen as a kind of living representative sample of the way an unfortunately large group of Americans think.

Love how in the video he says he looked up "Marxism" in his Webster's Dictionary (product placement shout out to Webster's, yo! They must be proud), and, yep, that is what Obama wants, Marxism, my dictionary sez right here.

Also, anyone see the 1970 movie _Joe_, about a guy named JOE, played by Peter Boyle, who is remarkably like Joe the Plumber? It was Susan Sarandon's first movie.
