Joe the Plumber laughs off CNN’s John Roberts claim “I don’t stump for anybody”

Just before 8 am Eastern time on the Tuesday edition of CNN’s American Morning, anchor John Roberts interviewed Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, and something unusual happened. According to News Busters, after a battery of questions from Roberts suggesting Joe was throwing John McCain “under the bus,” Joe shot back that the media does that to candidates it supports. Roberts took offense, since “I’m a journalist,” and Joe laughed at that. Roberts insisted Joe should not cast aspersions against him, and Joe said he didn’t mean to attack Roberts personally. (He should have said “I’m sure the Media Research Center has a thick file of your biased remarks.”)  Maybe the best part of the exchange was at about 2:10 of the video below where Roberts claimed “I don’t stump for anybody” and Wurzelbacher laughed and said “i’m not going to touch that one.”.
