Oh No Joe!

On today's Good Morning America, Dianne Sawyer revealed, with apparent glee, that "Joe the Plumber" has a dark and shadowy past. You see, he owes almost $1200 in back taxes! Can you believe that? A guy who already owes $1200 is worried about increasing taxes? I find that hilariously impossible to believe!

Secondly, Joe, doesn't have an unnecessary plumber's license. What shame! What horror! You see, Joe works as a plumber, for a plumbing company, but doesn't have a plumbing license because--he doesn't own the company. Oh Dianne, lucky thing you so snarkily reported all this. However, what Sawyer didn't say was that, because he plans to buy the company soon, Joe is in the middle of the licensing process.

Here's my question, maybe some of the faithful can answer it. Why are people combing through Joe's tax records? Why is he under a microscope? Because he was approached by the fearless leader and had something other than praise?

Let's just say this, Joe has already been more scrutinized than Bill Ayers.
