'Joe the plumber' isn’t licensed
Local man focus of presidential debate
By LARRY VELLEQUETTE and TOM TROY

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

Still, he is a smart enough man to see through the blanket Obama was trying
to throw over him. "Spread the wealth?" I don't think so, Tim.

I think some bigshot is going to approach Joe and open a nationwide
franchise with Joe as the pitchman. Joe Everyman. He looks a hell of a lot
more like a plumber than Obama looks like a president. Those big ears and
purple lips just don't get my vote.
