Update on a Regular Joe Sixpack, err, Joe the Plumber

“Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.” -Martin Eisenstadt

I’m sorry but this is just too hilarious not to share. Didn’t anyone on McCain’s team think that at some point someone would go interview the guy, or look into his background? One degree of separation from the scandal you’d really rather the media put to bed, and you’re pounding out his name a dozen times in one evening? Golly.

And don’t even get me started on “women’s health.”
