Is 'Joe the Plumber' a plumber? That's debatable

HOLLAND, Ohio - Joe the Plumber's story sprang a few leaks Thursday. Turns out that the man who was held up by John McCain as the typical, hard-working American taxpayer isn't really a licensed plumber. And court documents show he owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes.

How come any time someone poses a threat to Obama's political campaign their personal life is ripped up and exposed to the general public?

I'm not gonna feel bad for anyone bitching about more more taxes when they make over $250k a year. To me, he came across as sounding like a completely selfish douchebag. As far as his personal life, he opened that up the minute he put himself in the public eye. People Who Live In Glass Houses Should Not Throw Stones.

It's also nice to know that people who are a facade can get checked out like that for whoever they are -- regardless of political persuasion. And its great that the internet is not just for porn. :)

It's not just for porn? Well, I have been wildly misinformed.
