Ever since I first laid eyes on the now famous Joe Wurzelbacher it has been bugging the hell out of me why this dude looks so doggone familiar?

"Man, I love your television show. You're a lot taller in real life."

While sitting on the couch watching television, it suddenly hit me why Joe the Plumber was so familiar.  He ought to be.  I’ve been digging him for the last seven years now!

Joe the Plumber is actually Vic Mackey from The Shield!

Separated at birth?  Who knew? 

Vic Mackey keeps the streets safe from another Obama supporter.

Big,  bald and a bad attitude.   No way Vic is any kind of latte-slurpin’ liberal!

And they say all Black people look alike.
