More demolition of poor old Joe the Plumber (and McCain's use of him as caricature of mythological white male worker) above, this time via Chris Hayes and Kieth Olbermann.

Joe makes $40k per year. Also shows Obama clip asking crowd something I wondered, "How many plumbers you know that make a quarter of a million dollars per year?"

Also, in-depth interview with Joe shows him ranting against welfare, stating Obama might lead US to socialism, etc:
