Semantics

John McCain and his staff failed miserably at vetting their Vice Presidential choice, they ended up with a crazy idiot with a graveyard in her closet. It should come as no surprise then that McCain and his staff can't even properly vet someone that they are making the centerpiece of a debate.

McCain repeatedly referenced Joe Wurzelbacher as "Joe the Plumber" in his arguments against Obama's proposed health and tax plans. It appears that Mr. Wurzelbacher is not legally licensed to be a plumber in his home state of Ohio.....oops. I guess "Joe the guy who fixes toilets without a plumbing contractors' license" doesn't really have the same ring to it. Wouldn't it be fitting if McCain's focus on this guy ended up getting him in trouble for doing plumbing work without a license?

And with regards to Mr.
Wurzelbacher's views on taxation, if you're making $250,000 a year and can't hire an accountant to help you find an extra $7500 a year in legal tax exemptions then you've got no business running your own business. That's all the deductions you'd need to help offset the measly 3% extra that Obama wants to charge you. Maybe you could just tie some $100 bills to the bumper of your fucking Hummer...at least then the fastest kids in the ghetto could have a chance at some kind of education/lunch.
