Better Watch Your Back Joe...

Filed under: 2008 President, MediaYou're destroying the media narrative that Obama is the dreamiest candidate ever. Ask Sarah Palin what that means. Yes they are going to take a break from the Sarah Palin attacks and redirect some researchers from Anchorage to Holland, OH. It's already starting:
The Toledo Blade noted online this morning, as this became a media obsession: "Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said a Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher, whose address and age match Joe the Plumber's, registered in Lucas County on Sept. 10, 1992. He voted in his first ...
Obama-Biden Goes after “Joe the Plumber”
Ankle Biting Pundits —
This is an odd strategy, for sure:
Just a couple of days ago Sen. Barack Obama told Joe Wurzelbacher that he was going to spread Joe’s wealth around. This morning the Obama-Biden campaign appears to be targeting Mr. Wurzelbacher for criticism, even discounting the veracity of his situation.
Appearing on NBC this morning Sen. Joe Biden stated dismissively “I don’t have any ‘Joe the Plumbers’ in my neighborhood that make $250,000 a year.” This may well be true. But “Joe the Plumber” isn’t some fictional character, as Sen. Biden seems to suggest here. ...

Biden: I don’t know Joe the Plumber

Biden: I don’t know Joe the Plumber posted at 10:40 am on October 16, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Joe Biden appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning to respond to last night’s debate, which has made a national icon out of Joe Wurzelbacher, AKA Joe the Plumber . Instead of identifying with the working-class man who succeeded into moving into ownership, as Biden normally would, Biden professed not to know any small-business owners like Joe who worried about taxes: Patrick Hynes at ABP makes the point that Joe the Plumber is actually Joe the Small-Business Owner, and that’s why he will run ...

The Newfound Fame of Joe the Plumber
Weekly Standard Blog —
Joe's all over the place today. On "Nightline" last night, he told Terry Moran:
"To be honest with you, that infuriates me," plumber Joe Wurzelbacher told Nightline's Terry Moran. "It's not right for someone to decide you made too much---that you've done too good and now we're going to take some of it back."
"That's just completely wrong," he added.
He went on to rail against progressive taxation further: "I don't like it," said Wurzelbacher. "You know, me or -- you know, Bill Gates, I don't care who you are. If you worked for it, if it was your idea, and you implemented it, it's not ...
What Is Wrong with Joe Biden?
The Corner on National Review Online —
Thursday, October 16, 2008 [image] What Is Wrong with Joe Biden? [ Kathryn Jean Lopez ] High taxes are patriotic and Joe the Plumber doesn't deserve his shot at the American dream? From this morning: GREGORY: We ve moved through the debates and are moving into that final stretch.

Friend of the working class?
Classical Values —
Friend of the working class? America's great friend of the working man Joe Biden has attacked Joe the Plumber for -- guess what? -- making too much money! To anyone who understands the way Biden's sleazy little mind works, this should surprise no one. Yes, I think it is "sleazy" and "little" (with all respect to short people *) to smear a deceased truck driver by saying he was drunk when he wasn't . This working man's "friend" has no shame. I hope he never becomes president. * While height is irrelevant, it is interesting to note the height contrasts in the candidates: Most estimates put the height of Barack ...
Joe the Senator
Pundits Blog —
Joe the Senator ( Doug Heye ) Last night's debate was a more spirited affair than the previous two. Watching Sens. McCain and Obama interact more directly made for better political theater and allowed McCain to land more punches than Obama. McCain's pushback on Obama on issue after issue — John Lewis, negative ads, Obama's resistance to having 10 town hall meetings, William Ayers, trade with Colombia, judicial appointments and the bipartisan "Gang of 14," — allowed McCain to score some much-needed points. If the debate was not the game-changer many say McCain needed — and presidential debates may crystallize voters' impressions, but ...
McCain v. Obama: Round 3
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
I agree with the commentators who say that this third
Presidential debate featured John McCain at his spunkiest. The
question, of course, is whether this spunky debating performance
comes too late to save McCain. The odds are against him but polls
tend to close in the waning days of a Presidential campaign and if
McCain can keep the margin respectably close, he stands an outside
chance of winning. Three weeks is a very, very, very long
time in politics and while Barack Obama is measuring the drapes and
planning
his victory party, this race is not over yet.
Of course, the real winner of the debate ...
Biden Doesn’t Believe Plumbing Business Could Make 250 Grand A Year
Flopping Aces —
You know they are a bit worried when they make a silly charge like Biden does here. Actually questioning the existence of Joe the Plumber:
He basically says he knows of no plumbing companies that would make 250 grand a year.
In-Freakin-Credible…..
Check out the numbers in the Survey of Small Business Finances put out by the Federal Reserve Mr. Biden and you will find that there are indeed many small business who make in excess of 250 grand.
But that’s there argument in a nutshell. Your gonna be a-ok as a business owner as long ...
