Matt Cunningham loves the Joe The Plumber story. Joe, a man who confronted Barack Obama about the Senator’s tax policy, has two big strikes against him and in this case, two strikes and you’re out.
First off, if Joe is a plumber, he has no license. The Toledo Blade reported that Joe’s name and possible mis-spellings of his last name did not turn up in a license search. Perhaps Joe is plumbing without a license, so Obama’s tax policy is the least of his worries.
But the more interesting news is that Joe The Plumber is Charles Keating’s son-in-law. You remember Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan in Irvine of which Senator McCain used his influence to try and protect Mr. Keating, a major campaign contrbutor to McCain in the late 1980s.
So typical of the desperate McCain campign to use a GOP plant. I am enjoying watching this backfire.
Dan,
He’s a registered Republican as well.

Maybe the RNC spent as much time vetting “Joe the Plumber” as they did in forcing McCain to chose that bimbo, Palin.
As pointed out by Jon Stewart:
He has done more interviews and is now more thoroughly vetted than Sarah Palin.
Less ethics violations, too.
