GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado (CNN) — Taking “Joe the plumber” wordplay to an unprecedented new level, Sarah Palin on Monday dubbed Barack Obama “Barack the Wealth Spender” for his plan to offer tax credits to lower and middle-income wage earners.
Palin revealed the new moniker at an outdoor rally in Grand Junction, Colorado, where she also introduced a new working-class hero into the ever-expanding pantheon of “Joe the plumber”-types who oppose to Obama’s tax plan.
His name? Tito Munoz, christened by Palin as “Tito the builder.”
The McCain campaign discovered Munoz on Saturday at a rally in Woodbridge, Virginia, where the Colombian-born construction worker took on a group of reporters for digging into Joe Wurzelbacher’s background after the Toledo-based plumber questioned Obama’s proposal to raise taxes on workers making over $250,000 a year.
Munoz’s stand against the media was detailed by Byron York on the web site of the National Review magazine, and Palin was eager to thrust the tale into the political spotlight.
“Tito is not pleased with how the Barack Obama campaign and some of the media friends there have been roughing up Joe the Plumber,” Palin said, after accusing the Obama campaign of “investigating” Wurzelbacher’s background.

Bumpity bump
No biased reporting there, eh?
A better nickname might have been “Barack Obama: International Man of Mystery.”
Obama is not offering a tax cut to the middle class!!! He is offering to offset some of the Bush Tax cuts that he is going to let expire in 2010. The net result will be a tax increase! Look at tax rates before the BTC and then take off the Obama cuts. IT IS A NET INCREASE!!! The only beneficiaries will be those who do not have a tax bill now. Meanwhile, several companies like mine will be forced to downsize to survive.
In my community, by calling around, I estimate 70+ jobs will be lost. That equates to a 2.5% increase in unemployment in our small town.
I notice that Sarah’s blade just keeps getting sharper. :-)
Find the cars in the parking lot with 0bama stickers on them, and make note for the occasion if you have to downsize.
How long until the DBM starts digging into Munoz' background? Of course, he is here illegally, he is sending money back to his family of drug traffickers in Colombia (isn't everyone in Colombia into drug trafficking?) and he isn't really a builder, but a day laborer who hangs out at the local Home Depot each morning.
