Obama answered that yes, he would to spread the wealth around. It was an embarrassing moment, when John McCain mentioned it last night. The video had been zinging around the internet for a few days, but when it got mentioned during the debate, Joe the Plumber became kryptonite.<\/p>\n<p>Right out of the box this morning, Joe Biden demonstrated how out of touch he is with America by announcing that no plumbers in his neighborhood makes $250,000 (h\/t to Curt at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.floppingaces.net\/2008\/10\/16\/biden-doesnt-believe-plumbing-business-could-make-250-grand-a-year\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flopping Aces<\/a>);<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/j66LUroXUck\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/j66LUroXUck\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>And it set the conspiracy nuts to hunting. At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/discuss\/duboard.php?az=view_all&amp;address=132x7474700\" target=\"_blank\">Democratic Underground<\/a>, they were absolutely giddy to discover that Joe the Plumber is distantly related by marriage to Charles Keating;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who\u2019s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating\u2019s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How close? Well we don&#8217;t know&#8230;no one is going to bother to tell us. But using moonbat logic;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>DefenseLawyer<br \/>\n10. How many Wurzelbachers can there be?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Typical defense lawyer&#8230;answer questions with more questions.<\/p>\n<p>So when Joe makes the mistake of saying Obama tap dances like world-reknowned Jewish tap dancer Sammy Davis, Junior, the <a href=\"http:\/\/gawker.com\/5064474\/who-is-joe-the-plumber\" target=\"_blank\">Gawker<\/a> says Wurzelbacher &#8220;<em>already talks like a GOP pundit (he&#8217;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<\/em>&#8220;. Do they have proof that Joe Wurzelbacher is related distantly by marriage to Keating? Well, not really admits the Gawker;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Keating&#8217;s son-in-law, Robert Wurzelbacher, served a 40-month prison sentence in 1993 in connection with Keating&#8217;s Lincoln Savings and Loan collapse. Since then, who knows what he&#8217;s been up to, but there is a Robert Wurzelbacher who lives just outside of Cincinnati, owns a wood company, and donates to Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile there is a Joseph Wurzelbacher who owns a painting company in Cincinnati! Along with a septic tank repair company!<\/p>\n<p>These dots were all connected by a DailyKos diarist, who has no proof that Joe and Robert Wurzelbacher are related, but, you know, it&#8217;s suspicious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/robert-j-elisberg\/the-joe-the-plumber-story_b_135319.html\" target=\"_blank\">Huffington Post<\/a> they&#8217;re already calling Robert Wurzelbacher his father with no real proof. But who needs facts? Speaking of facts, some rabble-rouser on Air America is claiming he&#8217;s a wife beater according to a DUmmy;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Blaq Dem<br \/>\n141. Word has it he was arrested 3 times for domestic violence!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;according to Thom Hartmann on Air America Radio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So Ace asks;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Joe Wurzelbacher&#8217;s purported distant relationship to Charles Keating is newsworthy, the left is telling me, while Barack Obama&#8217;s friendship and protoge relationship with terrorist William Ayers is not.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry &#8211; &#8211; what&#8217;s Joe Wurzelbacher running for again?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, Obama can go to the debutante ball with terrorists, thieves and racists, but a McCain supporter can&#8217;t be related somewhat distantly to a bad businessman? But this is just a taste of what we&#8217;re all in for in Obama&#8217;s America.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I mentioned during the liveblog that McCain should use Joe in an ad.
