"Joe the Plumber" actually isn't.

Isn't that the sad truth. The media in our country is sooooo bad!

The point, in my book, is that this man had the gumption to exercise his American rights and ask questions. He called the politicians out and said, "ok, now if you say such-and-so, then back it up. Explain EXACTLY what you mean. No more double talk".

I say good for Joe!

You are exactly right! I saw him on Huckabee's show tonight - he said everyone was asking easy questions and he wanted to challenge him with something a little harder.

Joe is tired of the limelight and I can't say that I'd blame him at all.
