Tito The Builder, we hardly knew ye...

As the year comes to a close, 23/6 takes a moment to say goodbye to all the bit players and historical footnotes who helped make 2008's news extra special. We'll probably never see them again, so before they go we'd like to say... "We're gonna miss you buddy."

Okay, so Joe the Plumber didn't quite work out for McCain-Palin. It ended up that he wasn't really a plumber, that he doesn't pay his taxes, but if he did he would be much better off under an Obama tax plan than McCain's. Live and learn, right?

After that mis-step, the McCain campaign knew they had to be much more careful about who they picked to be their citizen spokesman. They looked far and wide until they found a grainy Youtube video of a man screaming at journalists in a heated parking lot argument that looked like it might come to blows at any moment. The minute they saw him the McCain campaign said, "That's our guy. If he's not presently wanted by the police, let's have him introduce Sarah."

And thus, Tito Munoz was reborn "Tito the Builder."
