Who is Joe the Plumber/Plant

Joe the Plumber might be a Republican plant!

This Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher already talks like a GOP pundit (he’s got the accidental casual racism down!), and his aw shucks willingness to repeat ancient class war talking points to every camera in sight is actually a bit suspicious for a random voter, but the most important thing about Joe Wurzelbacher is his last name: it’s the same as the last name of Charles Keating’s son-in-law!

Keating’s son-in-law, Robert Wurzelbacher, served a 40-month prison sentence in 1993 in connection with Keating’s Lincoln Savings and Loan collapse. Since then, who knows what he’s been up to, but there is a Robert Wurzelbacher who lives just outside of Cincinnati, owns a wood company, and donates to Republicans.

Meanwhile there is a Joseph Wurzelbacher who owns a painting company in Cincinnati! Along with a septic tank repair company!

These dots were all connected by a DailyKos diarist, who has no proof that Joe and Robert Wurzelbacher are related, but, you know, it’s suspicious. The Wurzelbvacher connection was also made, amusingly, by this right-wing satirical blogger.

But regardless of whether Joe the Plumber is a Republican plant or not, one thing is for certain: he’s not actually voting for McCain. Because the asshole isn’t actually registered.

    Whatever, plant or not, this entire thing is about Barak Hussein Obama’s answer to the question, not who was asking it!!!! The fact is, Barak openly admitted he was for Wealth Redistribution or Socialism for short and that was a bad boo-boo on his part. Now the media and stupid liberals have to blast the very person (person who represents the working class) they supposedly are fighting for. Wow, Democrats (Socialist) will do anything for power!
