There have been many suspicions about Joe the Plumber, and why he became the chosen one of the Republican Party. There were rumors circulating that he may have ties to the Keating 5, which has yet to be proven. Well today Sarah confirmed that she does have ties to Joe the Plumber. Sarah called Joe the Plumber, "a fellow Alaskan".
There have been many suspicions about Joe the Plumber, and why he became the chosen one of the Republican Party. There were rumors circulating that he may have ties to the Keating 5, which has yet to be proven. Well today Sarah confirmed that she does have ties to Joe the Plumber, who has even gotten himself an agent.
From the New York Times:
"He’s a fellow Alaskan, and he’s a fellow military man who served our country proudly," Ms. Palin said. "I’d like you to meet him! Please welcome Joe the Plumber!"
Mr. Wurzelbacher, dressed in a checked shirt and jeans, made no comments during the rally, and simply stood, with his hands clasped, at Ms. Palin’s side. But Mr. Della Croce said he can easily envision Mr. Wurzelbacher giving inspirational speeches, appearing on television, profiting from licensed merchandise that uses his name or image and endorsing products.
Here is the connection between Sarah and Joe
Is Doug Wurzelbacher related to Joe Wurzelbacher AKA "Plumber Joe"?
According to the census, there are less than 175 Wurzelbachers in the country, and one of them lived in... WASILLA, ALASKA! and was involved in competitive snow racing.
Klondike 300 Final standings and finish times:
- Mitch Seavey, Sterling, 2:33 p.m. Monday; 2) Tyrell Seavey, Sterling, 5:35 p.m. Monday; 3) Peter Bartlett, Wasilla, 6:37 p.m. Monday; 4) Ellen Halverson, Wasilla, 11:21 p.m. Monday; 5) Chad Nordlum, Anchorage, 11:42 p.m.; 6) Wayne Curtis, Wasilla, 12:21 a.m. Tuesday; 7) Douglas Wurzelbacher, Wasilla, 4:12 a.m. Tuesday; 8) William Borden, Kennesaw, Ga., 5:05 p.m. Tuesday; 9) Perry Solomonson, Plain, Wash., 5:15 p.m. Tuesday; 10) Judy Merritt, Moose Pass, 5:33 p.m. Tuesday.
So the big news story for the media, is that Joe has an agent, well good for Joe. What I find concerning, is the connection between Sarah and Joe, and that Joe the Plumber is no ordinary Joe, but closely connected through the Snowmobiling community.
