Speaking Spoof to Plumber

Is this real journalism or a spoof? Hard to tell these days... Onion could not have written a better story.

"...he [Joe the Plumber] and her sister never met Gov. Sarah Palin, who is now Sen. John McCain’s running mate."

"...bloggers discovered the Wurzelbacher name in sled-dog race results online — and that the musher was from Palin’s part of Alaska — and questions began flying about a a possible Doug-and-Joe connection and whether Joe, who confronted Obama in front of television cameras in Ohio, was a plant."

Hmmm, sounds fishy. Stay on the case McClatchy!
