The Truth about Joe the Plumber

These past weeks, we have all been subjected to various news stories about "Joe The Plumber". Aren't we fortunate that we have media outlets like NBC and several others to point out some really interesting facts about "Joe The Plumber?"

First, we were made aware that his name really isn't Joe.

Then, after some really outstanding investigative journalism, we were made aware of the shocking fact that "Joe The Plumber" did NOT have a plumbing license.

But then, if you really checked into these earth shattering reports a bit further, you learned that "Joe The Plumber's" real name was Samuel JOSEPH Wurzelbacher. You also learned that he was in fact working as a plumber under his employer's plumbing contractor's license which is legal in most states.

If ANY of the supposed NEWS Services that had really done a bang up job of revealing these facts about "Joe The Plumber," had ever actually had any dealings with a plumbing company, they would have known that many of the "plumbers" who come to your home are actually employees operating under their employer's license.

i am also sure that if they really put their minds to it, they might have accidentally stumbled upon the fact that many times, people are called by their nickname, and many times they prefer to use their middle name.

They might further have actually been able to ascertain that "JOE" is often used as a nickname for "JOSEPH" which happens to be Mr. Wurzelbacher's middle name.

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for: TA DA DA!!!
