SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE!

This is hilarious! The proverbial "everyman" from last night's debate, Joe the Plumber is...wait for it... not a plumber!

The Associated Press: Is 'Joe the Plumber' a plumber? That's debatable

He is an unlicensed employee of Newell Plumbing & Heating. He is not registered to work as a plumber in Ohio.

In my opinion if he fixes toilets and leaky sinks, he is a plumber regardless of the paperwork... but isn't it just so typical of US to turn actual people into archetypal charicatures, and then turn their humanity into hypocrisy? Put another way --- isn't this the type of shit we see on reality TV all the time?

Of course, it is also kind of funny that anyone McCain picks to represent the average American, comes with a shitload of baggage! Palin anyone?!? Vet, Vet, Vet!!!!
