My favorite local radio DJ's are raising money for poor Joe Plumber
and I have never been more disappointed :( www.savejoetheplumber.net

Here is the email I dropped them

Hi Mark & Dave,

I am writing you as a long time listener and cult member who's enjoyed you guys from 4 to 7 for years now. I have a difficult time with the soliciting of "Joe" as an individual who is representative of John McCain's policies. He is just like millions of other Americans who are struggling out there, the middle class which makes up 95% of this country are the one's being hit the most.

Does Joe make $250,000 a year? He wants to own a business, nothing wrong with that but if he can't even pay his own taxes how exactly does he intend to do that, by getting handouts?

There are millions suffering from this economic policy and John McCain will only exacerbate it by keeping the rich, rich, while ignoring the needs of so many.

Guys, I love ya but I have never been more disappointed.

1. What the hell is their reasoning to do this?
Seriously - this just makes no sense if you take JTP's words as truth when he confronted Obama.

3. Joe didn't say he makes 250 grand. He said the business he wants to buy could bring that in.

All he was doing was talking monopoly money.

4. My brother is a DJ
Has the afternoon drive slot at a station that pulls down strong ratings in 4 markets in New England. He's an Obama volunteer with an obnoxious sense of humor.

It would be a SHAME if this were to inspire any mischief, right?
