Title: Joe the Plumber is currently surviving off donations from strangers.
Post by: 240 is Back on November 03, 2008, 08:38:24 PM
"I'm not getting paid for things. It's starting to get hard to eat," the now-famous Joe the Plumber tells INSIDE EDITION's Deborah Norville.

What is this, Russia?

On the eve of election day, Joe, a single dad, told INSIDE EDITION he's getting by with help from friends and family, along with donations from well-wishers.

"It's hard being on the receiving end, a little bit of pride gets in there sometimes," admits Joe.

"So you just go to the mailbox and there's an envelope with a check in it, written to your name?" marvels Norville.

"Yes ma'am," Joe says.

With the help of these unidentified checks from shadowy sources, Joe has been able to do some pro bono plumbing for his friend—an Obama supporter. Of course, if McCain won, Joe would probably be set for life. But he won't, so Joe better get back to plumbin'. He has the potential to dominate the Holland, Ohio drain cleaning market, if he acts now.

What he did was allow himself to be used as a sacrificial pawn in a game waaaay over his head.
He will be tossed aside like yesterday's trash once he has outlived his usefulness which will be in about 24hrs.

The aftermath I agree with you, but initially all the guy did was ask a canidate a valid question, then he was torn apart by the media. After that he became a pawn... I just cant believe how quick he was raped after simply asking a question.

Well...

his cousin was part of the keating 5.
He is a registered republican.
he lied in his Q to fit a profile that coudl be used the next week by Mccain in the debate.
he pushed his way in front of the cameras to ask his Q, and kept tossing out catch phrases in his Qs, unrelated to what Obama said.
He then chose to do press conferences, rallies, get an agent... and endorse mccain.


If I had to bet the rent check - I'd say his questioning Obama was certainly not 'on his own' ;)
