He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means
he's not a plumber.


No, it means he's an unlicensed plumber.

You think Dr. Pepper is board certified?


Read the article. He's not a plumber per the state he works in. I don't
want him working on my house.

This is another example of McCain's bad luck and bad research.

News said he is not licensed because he works onder someone else. Not sure
of the legality of this.
He owes the state of OH ~$1,500 in back taxes.

He is now appearing on all sorts of shows. He probably will end up with a
fine chunk of $$ after his 30 minutes of fame.


This is a quote from the article:

"Mr. Wurzelbacher said he works under Al Newell's license, but according to
Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do plumbing
work.

He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means he's
not a plumber."

Too bad for McCain. It could of been his potential "game changer". His
continued reference to "Joe the plumber" is as Orwellian as Palin's "there
was no abuse of power".
