The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Joe the Plumber says Obama tap danced "almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."

    On CBS's webcast after TV debate coverage, Joe Wurzelbacher (the Plumber) told Katie Couris that he wanted to ask Obama tough questions, but "Unfortunately, that's all I got. A tap dance. Almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."

    Is it just me, or would Joe have described McCain as a dead, tap-dancing, black celebrity? Damn, Joe. Why the surprise? Don't you know all Democrats can tap dance like Sammy because of the extra bone in their feet?
