Joe the Plumber said Thursday he doesn't have a license and doesn't need one.

“Well we named him ‘Joe The Plumber’ ourselves and then we found out that he wasn’t a licensed plumber. Why did he lie to us?”

The politics of personal destruction! A reordered “nuts & sluts” strategy. Can Lanny Davis be far behind in this?

Because we all know that you can’t do plumbing unless you have a card from the government saying that you are a plumber...

This is just NOT a big deal! I could care less if he has a license or not. He is doing plumbing work and he is doing it legally.

So Joe the Plumber loses his job when Obama taxes Joe the Plumber’s boss too much?

Joe the Plumber is a plumber. He’s just not making as much money in plumbing as his boss is. He has to work harder to get his license, so that he can start his own business . . .

He doesn’t need a license. He would be covered under his employers license. Now if he were to buy the company he works for than he will need a license.
