McCain lied? I'm so disillusioned

Thomas Joseph, the business manager of Local 50 of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters and Service Mechanics, based in Toledo, said Thursday that Mr. Wurzelbacher had never held a plumber’s license, which is required in Toledo and several surrounding municipalities. He also never completed an apprenticeship and does not belong to the plumber’s union, which has endorsed Mr. Obama. On Thursday, he acknowledged that he does plumbing work even though he does not have a license.

His full name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. And he owes back taxes, too, public records show. The premise of his complaint to Mr. Obama about taxes may also be flawed, according to tax analysts. Contrary to what Mr. Wurzelbacher asserted and Mr. McCain echoed, neither his personal taxes nor those of the business where he works are likely to rise if Mr. Obama’s tax plan were to go into effect, they said.

Dear Senator Biden:

Actually, I have one other thought about the debate, Joe. May I call you Joe? Wonderful. Here’s the thing, Joe. John McCain looks like the Cryptkeeper in person, but thanks to the magic of Hollywood uber-makeup artist Tifanie White, he only looked half-dead on camera at the first debate.

You, on the other hand, looked like you were auditioning for a House of Hammer Frankenstein film instead of participating in a debate. Dude, image is everything. This is not good. Please don’t let it happen again.

All the best,
MeanLouise
