Joe was real; this doctor's not
Will media that savaged the plumber now go after the fake doctor?

When regular citizen "Joe the Plumber" asked an innocent, heartfelt, but challenging question of presidential candidate Barack Obama last year, he ended up getting skewered by the "mainstream" media. Every detail of his past was looked at for possible motives and nefarious associations.
Democratic state officials in Ohio even thumbed through his records illegally to find dirt on him.
That somehow doesn't happen with liberals.
A woman at Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee's town hall meeting in Texas recently claimed to be a pediatrician and stood up to support Jackson-Lee and Obamacare. She even got a hug from the congresswoman, which the Houston Chronicle featured prominently.
One big problem. Well, several, really.
Turns out the woman isn't a doctor after all. Reports indicate she's a graduate social work student who just happens to be enrolled at the same university where Jackson-Lee's husband is vice president for Student Affairs.
In addition, the woman is said to be an Obama organizer who, by the way, seems not to be a constituent of Jackson-Lee's.
Democrats have cynically and hurtfully accused passionate Americans at town halls as being stooges of special interest and such. In truth, Democrats have been the ones sending people to the meetings.
We asked Augusta-area Congressman Paul Broun's office if they'd seen any signs of Obamacare opponents who were tools of special interests. No, they told us -- but they've seen suspicious signs of Democratic manipulation: One day after Democratic officials called to confirm Congressman Broun's contact information, proponents of reform started calling and showing up at the office.
If any of them claimed to be a doctor, we hope Broun's office double-checked it.
