Everybody seems to be talking about Joe the Plumber.
Being at the center of the political universe is not necessarily a blessing.
Michelle Malkin details the latest on Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome.
The Left has been feverishly trying to destroy him after John McCain gave him such a prominent place in Wednesday night's presidential debate.
TMJ 4 ran a weird story related to Joe the Plumber.
Video.
To counter Joe the Plumber's newfound fame, TMJ 4 found Al the Plumber.
Yes, a pro-Obama plumber was the subject of a story on TMJ 4.
That's so lame.
There was a lot of discussion during Wednesday night's presidential debate about Joe the plumber.
Joe lives in Ohio, so we couldn't get to him. Instead, we talked to Al the plumber about issues important to him this election season.
South side plumber Al Knapinski says when he watched the debate Wednesday night he felt like the candidates were talking to him. He says he was very interested in many of the issues they discussed.
“Health care is very important, the economy that’s obvious,” Al said.
Like a lot of small business owners, Al says he's hurting. He's worried about the worsening economy and how it will affect his chances of getting his next job.
...“I can only hope in time the economy corrects itself and there’ll be a bigger demand for service plumbers and that's what I’ll be doing now,” Al said.
This election, Al says he's voting his pocket book. He's supporting Barack Obama because he thinks he has the best vision for America.
“We've had 8 years of a disaster is what I would say and now you’re looking to the future and we need change and I think Barack is going to bring the change we need,” Al said.
I can't believe that TMJ 4 dug up a pro-Obama plumber, or agreed to give Al the Plumber a forum to spout out what amounted to a free campaign commercial for Obama.
Was that really necessary?
Joe the Plumber is newsworthy because of how much emphasis was placed on him by both McCain and Obama during the debate.
But Al the Plumber?
Imagine. There's a plumber who supports Obama. Quick! Send out a crew and get the interview! Spread the word around!
Not all plumbers support John McCain!
Who knew?

And voila! That famous double standard. Two words for you - Graeme Frost.
Back in 2007, you said:
While I'm sorry that sister Gemma and Graeme have suffered so greatly because of the car accident, it's ridiculous to suggest that it's inappropriate to let the facts be known about their living conditions and quality of life. It's not some kind of smear job.
So when the Republicans dig deeper to find the facts behind a 12 year old girl, its not a smear job, but when the Democrats dig deeper to find the story behind an adult plumber in Ohio, they are trying to destroy him?
Wow.
What happened to "HOPE?" Why doens't that concept apply to Joe the Plumber?
What a bunch of frauds, the MSM and Obama, I mean.
The Story about Joe the Plumber is that he want to have HOPE for a better life but he's smart enough to know Obama will preclude his opportunity. Instead the leftists want him to remain a peasant, a worker, somebody who will not threaten their ruling class.
That's why the MSM is doing Obama's bidding and destroying a citizen of the United States that just wants some HOPE. It's all in the manual.
Among other revelations that surfaced yesterday about Wurzelbacher:
* He's not a member of the plumbers union he claims to be enrolled in on his MySpace page.
* He was once listed as a member of the Natural Law Party, which claims yoga and transcendental meditation can solve the world's problems. He voted in his first primary on March 4, registering as a Republican.
* In December 2007, the Ohio Department of Taxation placed a lien against him because $1,183 in personal property taxes had not been paid - but records show there has been no action in the case since it was filed.
* Voter-registration records reveal that a man named Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher - spelled with an "o" instead of a "u" - with the same address and age voted in 2002, 2005 and 2007. Officials admitted his name may have been misspelled in the database.
The media and Obama are too stupid to realize how much they are hurting themselves trying to destroy this ordinary citizen that had the guts to ask a hard question of a Presidential candidate. They are handing McCain at least a couple of points and giving him momentum.
And, I thought only Republicans were smear merchants.
(Awaiting Bill and Hillary's October Surprise and finally sink Obama.)
siince it was a cover story in the NYPOST also a paper owned by murdoch of fox news everyone is smearing him you imbecile
"12 year old girl"?
Graeme Frost is male.
Anyway, Graeme Frost delivered a radio address for the Democrat Party.
He was tapped to represent the Dems, and acted in an official capacity. (What a shameless stunt by the Dems that was! The Dems and the parents of Frost exploited him for political gain.)
That's a dramatically different scenario from the lib media and Democrat party smearing a citizen whose conversation with Obama happened to be picked up on tape.
Last night, JOE BIDEN mocked Joe the plumber. While on The Tonight Show, Biden took a swipe at him about not having a license.
It was so cheap. Biden is supposed to be fighting for the middle class. Guess not.
To "anonymous," 10:02 AM, October 17, 2008--
I was about to delete your comment. I'm getting really sick of the sleazy attacks by Leftists. I decided to let it stand because it points out just how ugly Leftists can be.
Keep showing your true self.

THOUGH he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!" While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six.

Thanks for pointing that out, "anonymous."
So an anonymous person gives us a list of irrelevancies about Joe (ooooooooooooh his name has an o not an i - whatever).
To say that because Joe is his middle name and not his first so it's ok for Obama to be socialist is ludicrous.
Notice how there is NO defense or explanation of Obama's statements whatsoever...typical liberal behaviour - just shoot the messenger.
Unless you're one of the (supposedly) dirt poor with your hand out, WHOSE money do you think will be TAKEN and used to redistribute the "wealth"?
