"An encounter with a guy who's a plumber"


Possibly the finest moment of Jon Stewart's Daily Show in the US presidential campaign thus far:  their take on the media blitz on  "Joe the Plumber"  following the third presidential debate.  An example in miniature of what happens to anyone whose head pops up above the political parapet these days.
(The relevant bit starts at the 5 min mark of the first clip;  the media-related stuff begins at the 7 min mark and continues into the second clip)



"Why are we vetting THIS guy??  He's already done more interviews than Sarah Palin!"
