Joe the Plumber's' AZ driver license suspended Comments 6 | Recommend 4 Daniel Newhauser, For the Tribune
A plumbing license is not the only license "Joe the Plumber" is having troubles with.
The former Mesa resident has a suspended driver's license and outstanding court fines in Arizona, according to Mesa Municipal Court records.
"Joe," whose real name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, was referred to more than 20 times by Republican Sen. John McCain in Wednesday night's presidential debate for questioning Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's tax policy.
The man portrayed by McCain to be the typical, hardworking American revealed this week that he actually does not have a plumbing license, and now court records show he should not have a driver's license either, making it potentially even harder for him to get to work.
Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.
America's new political icon, who owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.
Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.
After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.
Nevertheless, Wurzelbacher's driver's license is still valid in Ohio, according to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and was renewed as recently as May 2005. Ohio law requires a license to be renewed every four years, meaning Wurzelbacher likely obtained an Ohio license in 2001, one year after having his Arizona license suspended.
With a suspended license in one state, it should not be possible to get a new license in another, said Cydney DeModica, spokeswoman for the Arizona MVD.
The only way "Joe the Plumber" could have slipped through the cracks is a clerical error in which his driving records were not entered into the Problem Driver Pointer System, the national database of information about people with a checkered driving past, said Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc.
Komlanc added if the Ohio BMV were to receive the information, appropriate action could be taken, including suspension of his Ohio license.
LOL
I just read your colmes signature
I am watching him now I honestly the man is either so screwed up mentally or he says what he does because he wants to play the other side
either way the man is a complete girlie Moran.
he can never admit that the Dems have done wrong unlike that woman who has stood in for him.
he never lets his guests speak which is so typical of the left.
colmes just has that face
he drives me nuts when he saus that he gives out facts and the republicans always take cheap shots and yet colmes thinks he doesn’t
Amen.
But the msm is trying sooooo hard to lead us astray.
It used to be a really good newspaper. Then the LEFT TURN and due to that the DOWNTURN.”
Why would anyone buy a greasy stack of paper that makes your hands turn Grey to read about what happened hours and days ago. Haven't they heard of the Internet? Instant news for free!
I sent him a check this morning:
I’ve confirmed that Joe the Plumber lives at 355 Shrewsbury Street, Holland, OH.
I looked his house up on www.zillow.com and it looks similar to the house in this article in the Toledo Blade and then when I looked at the other pictures under the featured picture it had the house number “355” right there above the front door.

I’m putting a toilet plunger upside in my yard this weekend with a sign that says something like “Joe The Plumber for Freedom - No Obama” - next to my McCain/Palin yard signs.
My message to Obama and all liberal socialist/communist Democrat Senators and Congressmen (and RINO’s, too):
You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position.
I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom.
And I go to make sure that they have it.

There are a lot of people running around with outstanding warrants for fines that they paid.
For some reason, a picture of barney frank entered my mind when I read your post, yuck.
I swear these MSM pukes are really pissing me off. How come none of these people say Joe isn't really Joe Biden's name? Bill Clinton isn't really Bill Clinton. Of course they are both who they say they are. Joe the Plumber goes by a shortened version his middle name. Big whoop, lots of people do that. I do that. He is doing nothing wrong going by the name Joe. Also at least we are allowed to say his name unlike some other guy's middle name that is running for president.
Obama will NOT be President, this time. It will be McCain-Palin, however 8 yrs from now we will be revisiting this whole mess...and noone will be safe. If this is how viscious the rabid dogs are now just think how 8 more yrs of hate will make them. We will need something more than the internet to communicate as the dems-—microsoft, attack organizations and intelligence etc will be controlled by these vindictive rats. Best to prepare ahead of time, because they will be.
If you are undocumented, pretty good.
If you pay taxes, not so good.
This is a great idea. Show lots of citizens terrified that the Marxists will destroy their lives, businesses and careers (unless they drink the kool-aide). It IS scary!

Obama's mother may have spent 5 years in Pakistan PRINT EMAIL FEEDBACK DISCUSS Rate Article Rating: Agencies Posted: Sep 03, 2008 at 1316 hrs IST Islamabad, September 3: US Presidential hopeful Barack Obama's mother Ann Dunham may have spent five years in Pakistan, working as an employee of the Asian Development Bank, about 15 years ago.
In a story headlined "Obama's mother stayed in Pakistan for five years", leading Urdu newspaper Daily Waqt reported that Dunham was hired as a consultant by the Asian Development Bank and travelled often from Lahore to Gujranwala.
"Ann Dunham lived in Pakistan for five years. During this time, Barack Obama also visited his mother and stayed for a few months. Ann Dunham was hired as a consultant by the Asian Development Bank for Pakistan's Agricultural Development Bank's Gujranwala Agricultural Development Programme. This programme began in 1987 and ended in 1992," the report said. Obama's Pakistan connection was widely speculated in both the local and international media since his infamous remark last year that if elected as President, he may send troops to Pakistan to hunt down terrorists.
According to the daily, Dunham monitored funds received for the agricultural programme from the Asian Development Bank and trained mobile credit officers of the local agricultural bank.
"She stayed for five years in Hilton International Hotel (now Avari Hotel) in Lahore and after returning from Pakistan, she died from cancer within three years," the report said.
Obama himself has been citing his 1981 visit to Pakistan in a bid to counter rivals' accusations that he lacks foreign policy experience.
"Mr Obama visited Pakistan in 1981, on the way back from Indonesia, where his mother and half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, were living. He spent about three weeks there... staying in Karachi with the family of a college friend, Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, but also travelling to Hyderabad, in India," a report in the New York Times quoted his campaign manager as saying.
Obama is believed to have had a number of Pakistani friends during his college days, and it was that friendship that brought him to Pakistan.
In Obama's memoir "In dreams from my father", he talks of having a Pakistani roommate when he moved to New York, a man he calls Sadik, who "had overstayed his tourist visa and now made a living in New York's high-turnover, illegal immigrant work force, waiting on tables".
During his years at Occidental College, Obama befriended Wahid Hamid, a fellow student who was an immigrant from Pakistan and travelled with Obama there.
So do I. Free Republic is a great source of information.
Being from Oregon, I recognized those call letters right away (on that radio station).
It’s really ironic (given the way some people on this board think about the city that this is in) — that it was KEX that has a fund for Joe Plumber.... LOL...
The city is what some on Free Republic call a “liberal wasteland” — of Portland, OR. However, I’ve been trying to tell people that it’s not exactly the way they think and that there are lots of Republicans around there and that Oregon just about went to George Bush (one election) by only a few thousand votes...
Wow, the media is all over Obama!
I hope that Americans are paying attention.
The ones whose minds have already been snatched are lost.
Nice lead in.
I wish the media would do this kind of investigation of Obamanation and Biden.
That scandal has dropped of the 10th page of most msm for the front page news of joe the plumber.
