Who is Joe Plumber?

Lol- it turns out that he's neither Joe nor a plumber, nor even a taxpayer. His first name is Sam, middle name is Joe. He's not licensed as a plumber in Ohio. And he has liens against him for non-payment of the taxes he already owes; guess he's not as close to buying that 250k business as he thought. Also, if he's not going to pay his taxes

Facts have a liberal bias! And it doesn't matter what the reality of Joe- er- Sam's life is, what's important is the narrative! I mean, he's a real battler! And he asks the Tough Questions!

But seriously, I felt some major schadenfreude when I saw he wasn't even a plumber. That and a small amount of shock/realization that even the most minor players in the farce that is the political theatre are now going to be under the incredibly intense scrutiny made possible by the modern information society.
