Here a lien, there a lien...

Patterico comments on the earth-shaking news that Joe the Plumber has liens on his property.

I think we can all agree that this is critical information.

Not because it says anything about Joe the Plumber, mind you. But it does serve a useful function: it warns any future citizen who might dare question Barack Obama that his life will be closely scrutinized for any irrelevant but embarrassing information.

So, you know. Critical in that sense.

Oh — I almost forgot to mention: Martin Nesbitt, the treasurer of Obama's campaign, has tax liens. So do his companies.

You'd think that matters more than the tax liens of Joe the Plumber, wouldn't you? But good luck finding a Big Media story about Nesbitt's liens.

One hopes Obama paid off any liens he may have had out of his book advances.
