Joe the Plumber

He's no Rosie the Riveter, but this ain't the '40s, either. So, we'll have to make due with old "Joe the Plumber."

So who, exactly, is "Joe the Plumber?" According to a number of bloggers, he is a relative of Charles Keating, of the "Keating 5," the man who came the closest to destroying John McCain's career in the Savings & Loan scandal.

Now, I cannot independently verify this information yet, but since it is riding a huge wave across the Internet, I thought I'd put up the link to the original report. If it holds up, this guy (Martin, not Joe) will have made quite a name for himself.

If it doesn't prove to be true, Martin's credibility will certainly be shot.

Stay tuned...
