Joe the Plumber said Thursday he doesn't have a license and doesn't need one. Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, the nickname Republican John McCain bestowed on him during Wednesday's presidential debate, said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. Because he works for someone else, he doesn't need a license, he said.

The better to tax you with my pretty..

[MrB]

So, how are you voting?
That’s private...

after he’s just voice conservative ideology better than McCain ever could.

[Perdogg]

Just like engineers.

[dr4gey]

What’s the big deal. An accountant can be an accountant without being licensed. There are a lot of accountants working for firms who aren’t CPAs.

"As he leaned against the Dodge Durango SUV parked in his driveway..."

He's doomed.

[svcw]

Doesn't need one he is covered under his bosses certificate/license, as it is in many professions.

Is Joe the first regular guy right off the street that managed to get in a question on Obama?

Sure seems like it and is pretty funny watching the panic he has caused just by asking a question everyone else should have asked months ago.

[Snapping Turtle]

Goes to show ya: no hard-working citizen (taxpayer) goes unpunished by the Dems.

[Azzurri]

Wow, the AP is really reaching here...trying to destroy a seemingly good man. I hope middle America is paying attention.

[icwhatudo]

And so it begins...

No time to investigate Obama, but Joes life will be be made a living hell. Countdown to an old DWI or simple assault charge being discovered 5...4... 3...

Do his pants hang low while his butt cheeks wiggle to and ‘fro? Then he’s a plumber and didn’t lie to us!!!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Exactly...

[Texas4ever]

I knew they were going to try and hang him...They will bring out dirt on his family, his money, he will go to jail for money laundering....Poor Joe....

GO AHEAD OBAMA MAKE MY DAY!!!! TRY AND TAKE DOWN JOE!

YOU ARE MESSING WITH ALL OF US!

[Mrs.Z]

My husband is licensed to install/repair irrigation systems.

You can have all the EMPLOYEES you want operating under YOUR LICENSE.

No biggie.

If Joe wants his own business, he will need to be licensed.

[OCCASparky]

Look for hundreds of articles coming out to destroy Joe the Plumber now.

Too late--Huffington Post already published the guy's address, phone number, and pics of his home.

[petitfour]

Start asking reporters if they have a license to report. And then dismiss them.

[6SJ7]

MSM to Joe the Plumber: “Kill him!”

[Jeff Chandler]

“Badges, badges, we don’t need no STINKIN’ badges..

Badgers? Badgers?! We don't NEED no stinking BADGERS!!!

[truthluva]

Exactly!!

[rstark56]

These news types really pi$$ me off. Oh, now that he doesn’t have a license he must be something else blah, blah blah. HE IS WORKING AND IMPROVING HIMSELF!!! That more than I can say for most of the democratic dead beats. These morons don’t understand this is his dream what he is planning to do in the future. I’m PI$$ed
