Which make believe entity?
This mythical "Joe the Plumber" nonsense.
But he exists. He asked the question after Obama came up to him, Obama
answered it, the press reported it, the GOP latched onto it. So, unless
you believe that Joe the Plumber is really Michael Chiklis
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004821/)..
No, he's a made up entity. He's not a plumber has no intention of buying
the business he works for. He's just an actor in a fantasy passion play
for GOP supporters.

On CNN today they had a story about two real "Joe the Plumbers" that are
pretty surprised with all the attention they are getting.
One works at Ace Hardware on the weekends so I think it's safe to say
he's making under $250k.
I think "Joe the Pretend Plumber" is just some guy that got caught up in
this and was exposed as a fraud. The guy makes $40k, doesn't have a
license, owes back taxes, and he wants to buy a business that is going
to gross over $250k? Talk about sub-prime lending!
It's a joke but apparently it's going over John McCain's head. Let's
just hope it doesn't go over the voters head.
Yeah, he's the GOP imaginary friend. So sad.
