People who still talk about Joe The Plumber are the leftist version of conservatives who still talk about Rev Wright or Obama's birth certificate.
The lesson I learned is that licensed plumbers like to subcontract work to non-licensed "plumbers".
Since he's the Republican nominee for a seat in Congress in this year's election, I think there's an obligation to discuss him. He has to run on his background, and his political background is primarily, if not solely, his role as the character Joe the Plumber.
