Jabs, blocks and Joe the Plumber: The last presidential debate of 2008

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee John McCain discussed health care, the economy, abortion and Bill Ayers, but as much as the issues, the debate for many may have been about the contrast in temperament of the two men. Takeaway Political Director Andrea Bernstein was at Hofstra University on Long Island, New York.

This is too perfect. News now says Joe The Plumber doesn't have a plumber's license. His excuse that he works for someone else and doesn't need one doesn't work -- according to the county the business is in, his boss doesn't have one either. Appears Repubs can't vet the right "Joe six-pack" icon either.

"bill ayers will have a big book deal after this is all over" -- john

i hate to be the one to point this out, but bill ayers is not some guy like joe the plumber is. ayers has written over a dozen books mostly about education pedagogy and is about to release another. he doesn't need this election for a book deal. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=william+ayers&x=18&y=18

so please do some research before your comments, john. you do this too often (re: asking Evan Kohlmann if he's going to grad school after working for the govt when he has a law degree)
