'Joe the Plumber' Becomes 'Joe the Fame Lover'

Posted by Digby, Hullabaloo at 10:41 AM on November 17, 2008.

Joe is slated to release a book December 1st. Yes, of this year.



Damn, wingnut welfare is awesome:

Joe the Plumber’s latest small business? Apparently: himself. JTP’s deeply researched, carefully edited, thoughtful, and not at all hastily-put-together-to-capitalize-on-his-media-celebrity-before-it-expires treatise on The American Dream—written “with” spiritual novelist Thomas N. Tabback—is slated to be released December 1. Yes, of this year.

Oh, and it will be titled, humbly and rather delightfully, Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.

To celebrate—and to ensure that copies of the book are sold!—YOU THE PEOPLE can now obtain a Freedom Membership from Joe’s hastily-put-together-to-capitalize-on-his-media-celebrity-before-it-expires Web site, SecureOurDream.com. The Membership, like Freedom itself, ain’t free…but the $14.95 yearly fee practically pays for itself! With it, you’ll get:


1) Total Access to “Joe The Forum” where you may chat directly with Joe

2) Subscription to the “Joe The Blog” monthly newsletter

3) Free Shipping on all “Joe The Plumber” merchandise

4) Free Signed Copy of Joe’s forthcoming book “Joe The Plumber” - Fighting for the American Dream

5) Become an integral part of an American movement to restore our government to the people

And don't forget that he's working on a country music record contract too. I think his first album is going to be called "There's A Sucker Born Every Minute: Songs by Sam The Con Man."

[marmar]

2. Sounds vaguely familiar....Refresh my memory.

6. he was the 'fisherman' who 'saved' elian gonzales

had all kinds of interviews, eventually they found out he lied about finding elian, but he loved the spotlight. 15 minutes of fame.

[marmar]

8. Of course.....I remember that drama queen!

n/t

[JI7]

10. it was actually his cousin who saved Elian

his cousin was the one who went into the water and brought Elian up to his boat. the cousin also felt that that Elian should be with his father but he was not a media whore so this truth was not brought to light that much.

btw, you aren't marisleysis are you ? hehe

11. heh, my husband used to call her 'marysleazyass' n/t

3. El pescador!

:rofl:

4. What about the judge from the Anna Nicole Smith baby daddy drama?

He was fun for a while.

[marmar]

5. He was such a nutty cheesebag!

Clearly auditioning for his own local-access cable show.

[Patsy Stone]

9. Only in America.

Remember his soliloquy about how he likes to wear white while playing tennis? LOFL!

Meanwhile, JimRob better watch out. I think the CHUDS have a new basement to hang out in.

[Starry Messenger]

7. And to think we maligned this simple man of the people.

:sarcasm: (just in case)

12. "restore our government to the people"... funny, I thought the landslide election did that.

I guess elections where the people's voice is heard isn't retoring government to the people. I wonder what tax-evading Joe would suggest, in all his infinite wisdom. He is such a tax expert. :eyes:
