Update On "Joe The Plumber": His Name Is Samuel
From Gail Collins' New York Times column: "Joe the Plumber, it turns out, is actually named Samuel and is not a licensed plumber. He has a lien on his house for unpaid taxes. While his professional life is still a little hazy, there is not much evidence he's ever going to become a small business owner. And he would be a beneficiary of Barack Obama's tax plan." And we do know, from those members of the national news media who have the time and resources to camp out at Joe/Samuel's home, that Senator McCain's plumber does not like Social Security and thinks that the Iraq War was a good thing.
