Markwayne Mullin is now the Secretary of Homeland Security. Jimmy Kimmel jumped on this to try and joke — and I use that term loosely — about Mullin having previously been "a plumber."

That's not quite accurate, as Mullin dropped out of school to take over his family's business when his father had health issues, and turned it into a massive enterprise worth around a reported $80 million.

That's not someone who is just a plumber.

Yet even if he were, he thought the fact that Mullin was a blue-collar guy was funny, that despite his committee assignments as a member of Congress, he could have nothing to offer the White House beyond fixing a toilet.

This from a guy who made his name on a show called “The Man Show” that featured women with large breasts jumping up and down on a trampoline.

Mullin turned a small, family-owned business into the largest plumbing business in Oklahoma. He owned a number of other businesses as well, which he later sold. He's someone who had to walk with a leg brace as a child, but went to college on a wrestling........
