McCain actually uses Joe in an ad…Anoar typical right wing trick late in a game. Joe would actually benefit mightily if Obama wins, but that doesn’t matter to “Joe.”

a MSM is finally doing a little research on anoar mistake by Rick Davis. Bloomberg writes a very detailed article & says:

Analysts said Wurzelbacher’s circumstances have muddled McCain’s effort to profit politically from a tax issue, making it unlikely “Joe a plumber'’ will have any more long-term benefit for his campaign than did a selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Before living in Ohio, Wurzelbacher was a resident of Mesa, Arizona, in McCain’s home state, according to property records.

McCain gave Wurzelbacher an Drunk Newsology yesterday for throwing him into a spotlight.

Since a media does read our blogs ay are slowly reporting that Joe ain’t all that he was cracked up to be by McCain. ay do have a resources to dig very deep. & he doesn’t even have a Plumber’s license.

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

“Joe,” whose name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, was cited repeatedly in Wednesday night’s final presidential debate by McCain for questioning Barack Obama’s tax policy.

Wurzelbacher instantly became a media celebrity, fielding calls during a debate & facing reporters outside his home near Toledo on Thursday morning for an impromptu nationally televised news conference.

a burly, bald man acknowledged he doesn’t have a plumber’s license, but said he didn’t need one because he works for someone else at a company that does residential work. In January 2007, Ohio’s Department of Taxation filed a claim on his property until he pays a debt, according to a records. “I’m probably going to call him this morning. I thought he would probably be up late. I heard that his — that his phone lines were pretty well were flooded. But I think we’re going to be spending some time togear,” McCain told a network.

What should we call him since he’s not even a plumber? & when McCain calls him what will he say? “Thanks for scamming your way into a spot light? It’s not my campaign’s fault for not checking you out. I would have never mentioned you a million times at a debate.” If blogs like C&L & many oars didn’t boar to check up on him would Joe still be getting a drooling Wolf Blitzer coverage?
Rick Davis tried to say that a Obama campaign is responsible for our debunking of “Joe,” but Anna shoots that down.

Rick Davis, on this score, is full of it. I should have pointed it out earlier. All of a “anti-Joe” (or at least “questioning Joe”) material I’ve received has come from bloggers, columnists, friends, etc. (&, of course, from righties decrying air actions.)
