Problem is, it doens't matter. Even if everything she says is true, the damage has been done and CBS/FOX/MSNBC won't ever show a follow up that revels the truth.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

idealistic young patriots like this are the best parts of America.

It's good to see you back, Mr. Snowman! Don't go disappearing on us again.

There may be connections but, she mentions more than once that "there is no business". But Joe supposedly wants to buy or start a business. It was never said that he had one. I'd also like to know how she reached that 173 number. I doubt it's correct. I have no problem believing McCain's campaign would do this and I hope it blows up in their face. I'd just like to get all the facts.

It's not really very hard to be from Cincinnati and be connected to Charles Keating. I went to the same high school as Keating. Does that mean I'm connected?

There ya have it! Plumbergate is born!! Now McCain is really gonna suffer! Muuaaahhhh

umm... what?... okay, whatever...

Basically Joe is an unlicensed plumber and small plumbing business owner who could not possibly be making >$250,000 a year... so he's just some dude (registered Republican) that tried to give Obama a hard time because his neighbors were all being too cordial towards Obama.

Huffington Post had it on their website until recently.

"Just when you didn't think things could get worse for John McCain - they go in the toilet. Literally.So, you remember Joe the Plumber, who John McCain kept relentlessly bringing up. And up. The apparently undecided plumber who had complained to Barack Obama that he couldn't buy his own plumbing company because he'd have to pay 3% more in taxes. The plumber who John McCain lauded as an Everyman while oddly proclaiming "Congratulations! You're rich!" in the midst of a disastrous recession. The fellow who said that Barack Obama "tap dances better than Sammy Davis Jr."That guy. Well, it turns out he's the one gliding around the dance floor so much, you should expect to see him soon on "Dancing with the Stars."You see, Joe Wurzelbacher is apparently related to Robert Wurzelbacher. Who is the son-in-law of (are you ready...?) Charles Keating!Yes, that Charles Keating. The Charles Keating of the "Keating 5" Scandal. For which John McCain was reprimanded by the United States Senate, for his involvement in attempting to illegally influence government regulators. The Charles Keating who John McCain has been trying to avoid have mentioned. So, he basically mentioned it 24 times."
