Good reviews of Joe the Plumber's "book" on Amazon
My fav:

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishingly frank and candid, February 25, 2009
By Patriotic American
I was startled and deeply impressed by the honesty and forthrightness with which Mr. Wurzelbacher dealt with his personal, human foibles: his failure to pay taxes, his dependence on welfare, the breakup of his marriage, and why he lied to Barack Obama about his income and his intention to buy a business. What a brave, selfless man.

Hahahahaha, just kidding! Not-Joe the not-a-Plumber is the perfect symbol of today's Republican party -- attention-starved, intellectually bankrupt, pathologically dishonest, blatantly hypocritical, inexplicably proud of his ignorance and bigotry, and utterly unconcerned with the well-being of his fellow Americans and the welfare of his country.

I predict this book will become a camp classic.

11. Here's another 5 star gem.
From Mike Hunt :spray:

Joe the Plumber has battled backed up drains, thanksgiving overloads that did not want to flush down and all sorts of hydrological insults in order to be a spokesman for the real America. I would not hesitate to hire him to deal with any sort of plumbing issue I might experience. Its clear he would be especially effective at ridding our nation's pipes of all manner of indigestion, especially that caused by spicy burritos and vindaloo curries. I wouldnt be surprised if Sarah Palin picks him as her running mate in 2012. The two of them together would be #1 at getting rid of our #2. They would clearly demonstrate that a good flush is better than a full house.



I love this! I haven't seen reviews like this since Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum wrote It Takes a Family. Those reviews were priceless!

13. My favorite 5-star review (at bn.com)....
Posted February 21, 2009, 2:55 AM EST: I am so tired of these liberal terrorists who want to take my money and give it to black people. And that is why I am glad that there are people like Joe. Real Americans who don't need education at fancy schools, who don't need a license to perform their trade, who don't even need to be named Joseph to call themselves Joe. America has been taken over by socialists, and it is time to take America back. It would be a very different place if Joe were in charge. A real country with real people who don't hate America and instead just hate liberals. No one would ever need credentials. The only thing that would matter is how much you hate liberals. You could pontificate about Israel without knowing anything about the middle east, or history or politics, or all the lies that those liberal academics tell you in school, so that you can just be a patsy and blindly swallow all the nonsense that the liberal media feeds you. If you can read beyond a second grade level, you can probably handle this book, and you should. Because you will learn what being a real American is all about.

19. Joe the Plunger - - - plunger - - - plunger
As a retired construction worker the tool of the plumber's trade is the toilet plunger.
A plumber apprentice is called a "Plunger". This flake dosenot even deserve to be classified with the apprentices.
But that all he is, is a toilet plunger.

20. I'm thinking more along the lines of paper
Unlike a plunger which can serve a useful function many times, Toilet paper serves a useful function only once. Much like not Joe
