Default OT Joe's not a plumber

In yet another embarrassment to the McCain campaign it turns
out they didn't vet Joe the Plumber any better than they vetted
their dimbulb Veep candidate.

Joe Wurzelbacher is a registered Republican and McCain supporter
but he's not a plumber. Turns out he's the sole employee of Al
Newell who owns Newell Plumbing and Heating in Toledo, Ohio.
Joe made about $40K in 2006 according to divorce records and a
lien was slapped on his house for, get this, failure to pay
taxes.

So contrary to what that old gasbag McCain was grumping about
at the debate Joe is no danger of owning a plumbing business,
earning $250K a year or having his taxes raised by Obama.

And I haven't even mentioned this jewel:

McCain's presidential campaign is the largest organization he
has ever tried to run. And he has screwed it up royally. It's
getting to the point now where I hope he can just slip quietly
away and keep a shred of dignity intact.

How many plumbers and carpenters are licensed? Very few. If he is working
for a licensed contractor, he does not need a license. If the jobs are less
than $400 in most states, even the ower does not need a contractors license.


Looks like you are wrong...and here's a source that you'll believe ;-)
