I, like so many of you, watched the debates last night and couldn’t stop thinking, “Who’s this Joe the Plumber guy?” My first instinct was to look up the Toledo white pages and try to find him, but I was sure some other reporter was already on it. And, oh yes, they were. Check out the story here.
Also, there are already Joe the Plumber t-shirts available in multiple designs here.

Even though he hasn’t paid his taxes and doesn’t have a plumber’s license, I still feel a *little* bad for Joe the Plumber. He was totally used by the McCain campaign (Obama quickly jumped on board, though) and sort of poorly vetted, just like Sarah Palin. Joe (that’s not even his real name!) obviously had NO CLUE what he was getting himself into. It’s hard being the most famous undecided icon in Ohio.
Oh, I feel terrible for him, too.He’s being put under insane scrutiny considering he’s just a guy who asked a candidate some questions.
Side note: I bet the reason he became Joe the Plumber rather than Joe Wurzelbacher is because McCain can’t pronounce his name.
