Joe the Plumber is actually just a metaphor....he's really part of the mafia. Which makes sense now.

Hold on!!! I thought this guy was about to BUY a plumbing business that will pay him more than 250K a year?????

1, You need some cash to buy a business that brings in that kind of money
2, His fame started what, 3 weeks ago! He blew through his life savings that fast?
3, McCain/Palin did not help him at all for being at the rallies and firing up the base?
4, He is living off handouts and he called Obama a what????

This only reflects what a disgrace the republican ticket is! They put so much emphasis on this guy and what he said!!!

According to John McCain, he's a "hero". . . . oh well, to each his own!

Glad that whole spreading the wealth around is working out for him. He really ought to get back to work...
Why go back to work when he can milk his "Joe the Plumber" fame and count on real hard-working Americans to send him hand-outs?

Is that money taxable?

I really have to wonder what possesses people to send money to someone like this.

Still not sure how anyone can find any credibility in Sam "joe" the Plumber. How does a working guy go to an Obama Rally and challenge a policy tht would benefit him and support a policy that will not help him in any way? McCain must have told Sam the Plumber that he will be lucratively rewarded when he becomes McCain's October Suprise. McCains plan of getting a working America to rock Obama's boat hasn't worked. McCain didn't plan on many Americans seeing through this "joe the Plumber" charade.

Based on the interview, it's soon to be Joe the Congressman!! I can't wait for that...even better how about a Palin/Joe The Plumber ticket in 2012.

The unintentional comedic value would be sensational!!

Well I am surprised John McSame has not been a friend to Joe the Plumber like he was to Khalidi... John McSame did give close to 500,000 to Khalidi's organization ... and to think Caribou tried to link Obama to Khalidi when it turns out McSame gave Khalidid far more money.

Its called desperation. Caribou Barbie opened her trap too many times and it was exposed that there wasn't much up there.. so they needed a new schtick.

McCain was the chair of the committee that gave Khalidi the $500,000. Does Khalidi have enough time in the day to entertain his close Associates, McCain and Obama????????????? lol
