Joe was a liar that McCain appropriated as a working class strawman with no vetting..AGAIN. Do you REALLY believe that this geezer is to be trusted with our country? He can't even manage to find a decent strawman for his do-or-die national debate!

Doggone it, say it ain't so, Joe

Toledo moves to shut down Joe the non-Plumber for working illegally

Wurzelbacher registered as an apprentice with the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council in November 2003, according to Dennis Evans, spokesman with the Department of Job and Family Services. Records show his training, which was sponsored by A & W Newell Co. of Toledo, should have been wrapped last year.
“We don’t have a record of completion,” Evans said. “All we know is that he registered in the program and has gone through to the point where we should have record of completion, but we don’t.”
And that’s not the only record that’s missing from Wurzelbacher’s file. He doesn’t have a plumbing license required by the city of Toledo to practice, according to a staffer with the Toledo Division of Building Inspection. Wurzelbacher, who now works for Newell Plumbing & Heating Co., said the owner, Al Newell, has a plumbing license and that “because he works for someone else, he doesn’t need a license.”
But even that’s not true, according to the Toledo Division of Building Inspection. Wurzelbacher can’t legally do plumbing work without a license, regardless of his boss’s certification.
A staff person with the Toledo Division of Building Inspection told On Call this afternoon that her division will contact Wurzelbacher to notify him that he can’t work without a license.
“We’re trying to track him down,” she said.

>Brumar, it is amazing how the media is going after "Joe the Plumber" with a vengeance.

>These guys justify their ad hominem attacks with the excuse, "It was McCain who brought him into the spotlight."

Do the names Graeme Frost and Melanie Wilkerson mean anything to you? Look 'em up if they don't.

Liberals are also inadvertently showing a complete lack of confidence in their candidates ability to handle challenging questions.

The second rule of partisan politics: Silence the opposition.

That might be insightful if it were true......but it isn't. In fact, it was McCain who made a big deal about joe and now the guy is little embarrassed that his charade has been uncovered.

The first rule of politics: Stick to the real issues.
