SNL's Wiig Goes for World's Most Famous Joe?

There's some "odd couple" news coming from the gossip pages--NYMag is shedding some light on a NY Post print edition item calling out Kristen Wiig for allegedly canoodling with Joe...the (uncertified, republican) Plumber! That's right, folks, "Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as 'Joe the Plumber' was seen at the 'Saturday Night Live' after party 'canoodling' with cast member Kristen Wiig," and (perhaps even more disturbing) "chatting up a major Hollywood agent about starring the in next season of The Bachelor." One witness who saw Joe at his hotel the next day said, "it wouldn’t surprise me if someone got her drain snaked last night...I ran into Joe this morning at the hotel...and ever the gentleman, he refused to reveal more than his mile-wide grin." UPDATE: Psych! NYMag just updated saying this is all a total hoax. Phew! But we hear that Tina Fey and Cindy McCain totally accidentally touched hands at the end of last week's episode.

who would sleep with evil twin brother of Mr. clean?

He probably thought she was Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

The best thing about Cindy McCain is her standing behind her man, ready to catch him.

Joe the Plumber was the perfect metaphor for McCain's campaign. It all went down the drain.

Perhaps he really did hook up with Kristen Wiig...in his dreams.

Holy crap, I googled "Victoria Jackson" after reading #3's post, and boy did she ever turn into a first class KOOK!

Can this Joe / Samuel Scumbag die in a car crash?

This rumor is untrue and was put to rest a couple of days ago.

"UPDATE: Some birdies in the know say definitely that the Plumber did no such hooking up and it's not to be believed. Plus, the cast member in question has a boyfriend. So that's a no go entirely."

Check the update... it's all a hoax. There wasn't any "canoodling" going on. He's not being considered for The Bachelor. He wasn't at the party. He's not a plumber. He's not an undecided voter.
