(Newser) – Being honored at a Washington event last night skewering the liberal media made Samuel Wurzelbacher—better known as Joe the Plumber, of Campaign ’08 fame—“horny,” the Washington Post reports. “God, all this love and everything in the room—I’m horny,” the Republican everyman said after a standing ovation at the Media Research Center’s annual “DisHonors Awards.” Among the DisHonor-ees: noted lefties Chris Matthews and Bill Maher.
