Joe the Plumber Tries Voting At Wrong Place
From Wonkette:

http://wonkette.com/404119/joe-the-plumber-tries-voting-at-wrong-place

One of the seventy-thousand reasons John McCain has a 1% chance of winning the presidency is a dumb tool who called himself “Joe the Plumber” and hoped to get fame and free welfare money as a result of telling a dumb lie to Barack Obama, when Barack Obama was campaigning in this man’s neighborhood. Because he was a creepy looking mouth-breather who didn’t pay his own bills and would get a tax cut under Obama and whose wife had left him to a life of unlicensed work at some other guy’s plumbing business, the McCain campaign naturally decided — in the last weeks of a tightening race — to throw everything behind this unappealing character who represented nothing. And now Joe the Plumber’s trying to vote illegally, too!

Wonkette operative “Tribe” reports from Ohio:

I’m an Obama inside observer in Toledo. Rumor has it, heard from other observers, that Joe the Plumber attempted to cast a ballot in the wrong precinct. Rumor also has it that he was stopped by a City of Toledo police officer in the last few days for speeding … but Joe the Plumber insisted on the officer contacting the officer’s supervisor to let him know “who he was giving a ticket to.”

9. They let him off with a warning once they found out who he was.
Didn't want to influence the Presidential Election process.

20. Yep. Laws are for everyone but them.
I'm happy our AG has entered into this.

"The Ohio Attorney General's office has made an inquiry into why Wurzelbacher was not issued a citation since it was a legitimate traffic violation."

21. May gawd!
If he's above the law, what might he do next? So he's racing all over town, endangering innocent citizens, but because he's Joe the freaking plumber, he's got immunity? Wow, does that sound familiar. Entitlement. Must be nice, eh Joe? Oh right. That wouldn't be "principled".
