Joe The Plumber Has No Internet Advertising?

This "Joe the Plumber" character John McCain referred to in the debate- real or not real?

Certainly a Joe Wurzelbacher exists, he is a person living in Ohio. There are mentions on the Internet of Wurzelbacher Brothers, a plumber at 11260 Colerain Avenue, Cincinnati OH 45252. Street view at this address depicted above does not show the sort of evidence a plumbing business making over $250,000 a year in profits (implying millions in revenue) would be likely to have. Like a sign. Or a single shred of Internet evidence that there is any such plumbing business at this address.

Maybe that's because this is the address of Jan Rich Kennels. Just look it up.

Anyway, this is claimed to be "Joe Wurzelbacher". MSNBC Claims to have contacted him and he lives "near Toledo". Toledo is four hours' drive north of Cincinnati, on the border with Michigan.

Privateeye.com shows a Joe Wurzelbacher in the Cincinnati area, and he might be connected with Joseph Wurzelbacher Construction:
