It's official. Joe the Plumber is a fraud. He is not a Joe the Plumber, but rather Joe the Shill. Joe is not a licensed plumber. His hometown paper, the Toledo Blade reveals his fraud, in a story posted on their website.
Read the story here .... Joe the Plumber is not a licensed plumber.
More over the flip.....
The story opens umambiguously
"
Joe the Plumber" isn’t a plumber — at least not a licensed one, or a registered one.
So, Joe is a liar. Or worse, he's a shill. And best of all, he's a Cheneyite. Rules don't apply to him. Even though he's not a licensed plumber he still works as a plumber, under his partner, Al Newell's license.
Mr. Wurzelbacher said he works under Al Newell’s license, but according to Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do plumbing work.
What is marvelous is the real plumbers are speaking up....
Mr. Wurzelbacher’s notoriety has raised the ire of Tom Joseph, business manager for Local 50 of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters, and Service Mechanics, who claimed that Mr. Wurzelbacher didn’t undergo any apprenticeship training.
"When you have guys going out there with no training whatsoever, it’s a little disreputable to start with," Mr. Joseph said. "We’re the real Joe the Plumber."
I think this is going to be as big of a story as the Palin selection, in displaying the poor judgment of John McCain. Joe the fucking Plumber is not even a fucking plumber. And McCain showcases him as the front man for his economic policies. Yuck yuck yuck.
