Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, has declared he is running for Congress. Again.

“Politicians keep playing politics with our lives. I’m sick and tired of it. I thought long and hard about running and why I would do it,” he declared. “I’m not the kind of plumber who uses duct tape.”

The announcement was made from a Hungarian restaurant in Toledo, Ohio.

Wurzelbacher said that he will be running as a Republican “but by God, that doesn’t encompass who I am, because I want to represent all Americans.”
