(Oh No) Joe The Plumber

A few facts about Joe The Plumber (Joseph Wurzelbacher of Holland, Ohio), Senator John McCain's repeated reference point in last night's debate:
1. Joe is not a licensed plumber. (According to a building inspection official Joe must be a licensed apprentice or journeyman plumber to work in Toledo.)
2. Because he makes less than $250,000 a year he would be the recipient of an Obama administration's tax cut.

Now Joe is being vetted and may find out the good and the bad of 15minutes of fame.
