McCain forgets that Joe the Plumber isn’t at his rally: ‘Where is Joe the Absentee?’

Probably working on his music contract...

Thinkprogress:

At a rally today in Ohio, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) of wanting to “spread the wealth.” McCain then summoned Joe the Plumber, who wasn’t even in the audience:

McCAIN: That’s only because Joe the Plumber asked [Obama] the right questions right here in Ohio. … Joe’s with us today. Joe, where are you? Where is Joe? Is Joe here with us today? Joe, I thought you were here today.
[CROSSTALK]

McCAIN: All right, well you’re all Joe the Plumbers, so all of you stand up!
