IT remains to be seen whether John McCain's blue-collar hero, Ohio's Joe the Plumber, is a Republican plant or not. (One thing he is definitely not: a licensed plumber.) Either way, though, he's succeeded in raising the ire of a lot of his plumbing brethren, particularly those in the United Association of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry!

The UA was the "first international Union to endorse Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States," having thrown their support behind Illinoisan way back in January. Radar called them up to see how they felt about a man so inextricably linked to the world of pipes suddenly becoming a campaign talking point. (We also listened to "Jitterbug" and Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" while on hold. Plumbers have a rather upbeat taste in music for people with such surly reputations!) "You know, hopefully Joe put in his time as an apprentice and a journeyman, so he can appreciate what it's like to be a working person," a spokesperson told us. "Now that he has succeeded and has the chance to become a contractor and a business owner, he should really be supportive of Senator Obama's tax plan, which will benefit the working-class people who really need it."

So, confidential to Joe: stop being such an asshole. You're disappointing plumbers all over the country!

...because CLEARLY when she coined the phrase "douche nozzle," she was thinking of Plumber Joe.:D

I'm going to make sure I hire union only.

I appreciate their support and although I am not a union person I support the unions 110%
