Joe the Plumber

Joe the Plumber...

--Isn't a licensed plumber.

--May or may not even be registered to vote. Is a Registered Republican.

--Is closely related to a guy (some sources say it's father-son) who is the son-in-law ofCharles Keating, of the Keating 5 scandal (McCain was one of the 5). He worked with Keating and did time for his involvement in the Keating affair.

--Wouldn't pay any additional taxes under Obama's plan unless that plumbing business started to make a LOT more money.

--Actually has no plans to buy the business.

--Had a lein slapped against him for not paying state taxes.

But hey, if you're a tax-dodging registered republican in a swing state that's an unlicensed plumber, a relative of someone at the center of a scandal involving McCain and feel comfortable lying about your business endeavors, you're the kind of Joe Sixpack a McCain administration will fight for.

So right on.

As Steve Young said, "If he's really a plumber, where's the ass-crack?"
