Has anyone encountered evidence that the term "Joe the Plumber" is likely to take on a life of its own after the election and become a common expression to refer to a buffoonish, hypocritical member of the working class who moronically votes for or supports a policy that goes against his own rational and economic selfish interest?
The term might be used in a context such as, '"Joe the Plumber here (friend points or thumbs to another friend} supported bailing out the rich CEOs"' or '"Joe the Plumber here supported the tax cuts for the rich."' I haven't come across any such usage yet but I can see the potential.
