Say It Aint So Joe!

You mean to tell me he's not a licensed plumber, and may not even be a registered voter?

Well surprise, surprise.

To be fair, the information the elections office has on Joe may not properly match what we know about Joe - maybe his name is misspelled. But we do know that he's a apparently a Republican, if the information on file is to be taken at face value.

"Joe the Plumber" isn’t a plumber — at least not a licensed one, or a registered one.

A check of state and local licensing agencies in Ohio and Michigan shows no plumbing licenses under Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher’s name, or even misspellings of his name.

Questions were raised Thursday morning whether Mr. Wurzelbacher is a registered voter.

Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said a Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher, whose address and age match Joe the Plumber’s, registered in Lucas County on Sept. 10, 1992. He voted in his first primary on March 4 of this year, registering as a Republican.

Ms. Howe said that the name may be misspelled in the database.

I wonder what else Joe isn't telling us?
