Josephine the Plumber: I'm the One John Mccain and His Buddies Forget

Wow, was I surprised. After taking care of John McCain's eight homes---or was that nine---I forget, and he probably does too. After all, both of us are "getting up there."Anyway I have a bone to pick with McCain, darn it, because it's high time that us girls got noticed too.

Not just men are plumbers, after all. I'd been one up until a few years ago when my arthritis got the better of me. Still, I wonder why folks like McCain don't figure out that I vote too. In fact, I'm just the kind of person that can make or break it for that fellow, if you know what I mean. Them news guys, they don't know nothing either. They forgot about me too. Every time they interview some redneck, blue collar person, it's a man. Every time they talk about some middle class vote or someone in Middle America, they talk about Joe Six Pack or Joe the Plumber or Ordinary Joe, like that was all there was to people.

So, what about me, Josephine the Plumber? Now don't I count too?I remember four years ago. Them pollsters they said that more of us women voted than the guys did. I voted. I voted for that Bush fellow too. It sounded good about having someone to have a beer with and all that, cause I like having a beer myself once in awhile. But you know what? I'm not sure anymore. The last time I drank a six pack I couldn't get up in the morning. I don't know if that's the President's problem, but I kinda wonder what's been going on up there in the White House because nothing for sure is getting done these days.

Anyway, like I was telling you.. I've decided I'm voting for that other guy, whats his name, Borax, Boric, Barracks or something like that, but anyway I've decided that's what I'm doing. I got a phone call the other day from someone on the phone talking to me about that Boraky person like I was some ignorant fool or something. I might not spell or write good, but I'm sure not dumb enough to fall for that nonsense foolishness. And I ain't no elitist either, but I sure want the President to be smart. It's okay with me if he's smarter than me too, because the last one wasn't, and where did that get us?

Anyway I'm going back to my television now because this computer stuff just isn't my thing. I got my granddaughter helping me out with it. But I sure enjoyed talking to you folks.
