Government computers used to find information on Joe the Plumber
Investigators trying to determine whether access was illegal

"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver's license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

Paul Lindsay, Ohio spokesman for the McCain campaign, attempted to portray the inquiries as politically motivated. "It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question," he said.

Isaac Baker, Obama's Ohio spokesman, denounced Lindsay's statement as charges of desperation from a campaign running out of time. "Invasions of privacy should not be tolerated. If these records were accessed inappropriately, it had nothing to do with our campaign and should be investigated fully," he said.

Does anyone recall the instances where someone gets their 15 minutes of fame and ends up in jail? Happens a lot. It's pretty routine, I'd think, for them to check him out He seems like someone they'd want to check out for late child support, the AG, and the police. Considering the guy turned out to be a total fraud who hasn't paid his taxes, is working without a license for the work he does, it sounds about right.

SHIT girl, and the way they pushed that one before having the facts...you WOULD think they'd learn at some point.
That's what scares me most about a McPalin administration - they're just really fuckin' STOOOOOPID.

BLAMING OBama bullshit...at least the Clenis can rest now.

He killed all the unicorns. Don't believe me? Just try and find one.

I can't prove it yet, but I'm pretty sure that he invented the common cold as well.....

REPUBS TELL ME - WTF ISN'T HE RESPONSIBLE FOR??

Jesus I wish tomorrow was Nov 4th.............

and it is so Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's faults. I am serious. I can't get into doing the homework for it or going to bed so I can get some sleep so I can study tomorrow morning, I would rather be on here.

OMG. :cry:

Barack off the hook.....

Except "Joe the Plumber" admitted, on camera, he would BENEFIT by Obama's tax proposals.
