ROTO-ROOTER WANTS JOE THE PLUMBER - WILL THEY WANT BOB?

Roto-Rooter the biggest plumbing chain in the US is trying to secure the services of Joe the Plumber -

Roto-Rooter Cashing In On "Joe the Plumber" Frenzy

Marketers are trying to cash in on the "Joe the Plumber" media frenzy. Roto-Rooter, the nation's largest plumbing service company, and the one with the catchiest jingle, almost decided to pay for whatever schooling/testing Joe needed to become a certified plumber, but they might not need the real Joe, er, Sam, to make a marketing impact. News outlets have been calling Roto-Rooter to see if the company has a local Joe the Plumber for them to interview. Just the latest way "Joe the Plumber," who's neither really named "Joe" nor a licensed plumber, has ruined the lives of plumbers named Joe throughout the country.

We wonder if Roto - Rooter is interested in Bob the plumber here in NZ - he is no stranger to labour politics either.

JOE THE PLUMBER IS ACTUALLY SAM THE PLUMBER WITH A BOB EACH WAY

Wow JOE the plumber - the metaphor for working class Americans, is actually a SAM!

This story is gripping the US but Sam/ Joe is in the crap. Seems his paper work isn't up to scratch.

Ballsy call really to get in the middle of a war for the Whitehouse. But it seems Sam/ Joe has made a cock of himself -

Joe the plumber is now a media and internet sensation

It will be interesting to see how the whole issue pans out and we wonder if he is related to a Labour loving NZ plumber called Bob.

Maybe we should ask Helen. .
