The truth is non-partisan

A Guy named Joe, who happens to be a plumber with ambitions for a
bigger business, questioned and challenged a Guy named Barack, who
happens to be running for President of the US/Leader of the Free
World.

And within 24 hours the Media has given us more information about
Joe's life than they've give n us about Barack's life in the past 18
months.

Thanks to a diligent press corps, we now know about Joe's professional
licensing status, his income tax situation, his employment history,
his domestic squabbles, his voting record, everything associated with
his personal identity; his education. It's probably been reported
somewhere whether he wears boxers or briefs.

Thanks to a lazy press corps. We still don't know what grades Obama
made in college; how he got into Harvard; when he met Bill the bomber
Ayers; when he stopped doing illegal drugs; his medical history ;
whether he still smokes cigarettes; the extent of his affiliation with
socialist/communist organizations; why he's no longer a licensed
attorney; whether he lied on his Bar application;

Whether he qualify for a security clearance if he were just an average
Joe; what passport he used to travel to Pakistan in 1981; who his
ex-girlfriends are; whether he was or still is an Indonesian citizen;
why his Kenyan grandmother insists he was born there; whether he was
ever legally named Barry Soetoro or anything else besides Barack
Hussein Obama;

Why he needed the help of a crook to purchase his family home; where
he was on Nov. 6 and 7, 1 999; what the long-version of his birth
certificate says; why he helped an anti-American, pro-Islamic
candidate for Kenyan President against US interests; why he listened
to Rev. Wright's sermons for 20 years; how many times he took his kids
to a Rev. Wright sermon; what he actually did as chair of the
Annenberg Challenge; the depth of his relationship with ACORN.

Well, you get the idea.

But, really, I am SO relieved that the Mainstream Media has done its
job vetting Joe The Plumber, who is NOT running for public office, but
who had the AUDACITY to challenge Barack Hussein Obama, who wants my
vote for President of the United States of America."

And now this from the Washington Post:

Joe the Plumber is not exactly a plumber, he's "not even close" to making the kind of money that would result in higher taxes from Democrat Barack Obama's proposals and has such an aversion to taxes that a lien was filed against him by the state of Ohio.

Such is the whirlwind of information that has come out about Joe Wurzelbacher of Holland, Ohio, since Republican John McCain made him famous in last night's debate. McCain mentioned him more than 20 times to use him as a symbol of hard-working Americans who would be hurt by Obama's tax policies. Obama and Wurzelbacher met earlier in the week in Toledo, where Wurzelbacher said Obama's plans to raise taxes on those making $250,000 a year or more would penalize him in his plans to buy the plumbing business for which he works.

Wurzelbacher since then has been on Fox News, interviewed by CBS's Katie Couric and appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America."
