JOE THE….UM….WHATEVER….Chris Orr is agog at the attention conservatives are paying to supposed weathervane du jour Joe the Plumber:
Do not expect this ardor to be dampened by the facts that Wurzelbacher is not an independent, makes nowhere near the $250,000 that prompted his question to Obama, and is not, in fact, a licensed plumber.
Okay, but at least his name really is Joe, isn’t it? That counts for something.
UPDATE: I was just kidding, but it turns out his name isn’t Joe. It’s Samuel. Sheesh. But I guess he goes by Joe.
