Perhaps The Caucus is looking to hire a plumber from Ohio to do work in Manhattan? Otherwise, why have their reporters do valuable investigative work on Joe the Plumber?
The Caucus found that Joe’s not a licensed plumber, which according to Ohio law, Joe only needs for commercial work, not residential work. I guess that means that they won’t be hiring Joe to fix the Grey Lady’s sewer disposal.
Jim Geraghty has a theory different from mine: the NYT’s checking Joe not to offer him a plumber job but instead,
This is the way our opponents operate now. Destroy anyone who stands in your way. Humiliate them. Make sure that anyone else who ever wants to skeptically question Barack Obama knows that every last bit of their dirty laundry will be aired for all the world to see. Bristol Palin, Trig Palin, — hey, it’s all fair game. They’ve got to make an example of them. Show them that this sort of dangerous speech won’t be allowed in the New America.
Nah, surely the NYT wouldn’t, would they?
