Samuel Wurzelbacher, Celebrated as 'Joe the Plumber,' Dies at 49

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who briefly became “Joe the Plumber,” the metaphorical American middle-class Everyman, by injecting himself into the 2008 presidential campaign in an impromptu nationally-televised face-off with Barack Obama over taxing small businesses, died Sunday at his home in Campbellsport, Wisconsin, about 60 miles north of Milwaukee. He was 49.
