"Last month Eisenstadt blogged that Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, Joe the Plumber, was closely related to Charles Keating, the disgraced former savings and loan chief. It wasn’t true, but other bloggers ran with it."
Wasn't this a topic that certain individuals on this site were harping on about?
I think I shall have to go look for that thread... unless the guilty wish to come forward on their own....

They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

That and "His name isn't even Joe..."

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It's funny. You know humor don't you? Joe the Plumber - not really a licensed plumber, not really named Joe. It's funny.

Not to her it wasn't. She was determined to use the fact he went by his middle name, Joe, as a reason he was some sort of evil liar.
Now he wasn't all that rich. That part would be funny.
And what did he do for a living?

Horseshit? What was horseshit about it? Can you prove it was horseshit? Or was it horseshit because it was coming from the Wall Street Journal and it was negative news about an ex-coke addict- porn addict -washed up liberal talk-show- host wanna be funny guy stealing a US Senate Seat>?

Seriously? Do I really have to go through this exercise again? There was a whole thread devoted to the topic. Please review it and provide any questions or comments you may have, preferably in that thread.

What!?! Oh man I would have jumped in on that discussion had I payed attention. I really don't care for discussions that are so political it has nothing to do with anything relevant. My mother uses her middle name as her first, because she hates the sound of Roanna.
