Joe the Plumber

From butt crack to national exposure on every major network.

At last night's Presidential debate, Joe the Plumber was mentioned 25 times! Wow, that dude got quite a bit of attention. McCain invoked his name 21 times and Obama 4 times. What kind of plumber pulls in more than $250,000 a year? If he is making that kind of money and can't afford the additional 3% that Obama will tax him at for making over $250k, than maybe he should plunge a few less toilets next year and come in under that amount.

$250,000 a year as a plumber, wow?!?!?!? Not bad for someone that sounds like they are a character straight out of a Frank Zappa song.

"Well, the toilet went crazy
Yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says
"Never flush a tampoon!"
This great information
Cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day ay-eee-ay
Blew up the next day WOO-OOO"
