Reading that blog reminded me of the Joe the Plumber story. At first he comes on like some big Randian success story with attacks on Obama's tax cuts for the bottom 95% of Americans.
Then it's gradually revealed that he is making far less than he claimed and would benefit from the cut.
Then we find out that he's not a licensed plumber.
And that he owes back taxes.
Finally, we discover that his family was on welfare twice and benefited from it.
Yet, Joe insists on pretending to be this great autonomous Randian hero.
