"Joe" the "Plumber" writing book: Joe the Plumber — Fighting for the American Dream.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 08:12 PM by Bluebear


It seems he’s got a book deal and he launches a new web site tomorrow. As for the talk about becoming a country western singer? Well that’ll have to wait a bit.

Wurzelbacher told FOX News this morning that he’s working with a writer for his upcoming book and already has the title selected: Joe the Plumber — Fighting for the American Dream.:puke:

And this isn’t a fluff book, Wurzelbacher explained. The book about American values will be top drawer.

“Everyone came at me to write a book. They had dollar signs in their eyes. ‘101 Things Joe the Plumber Knows’ or stupid like that. Excuse me, I am sorry,” he said. “You know I will get behind something solid, but I won’t get behind fluff. I won’t cash in, and when people do read the book they will figure out that I didn’t cash in. At least I hope they figure that out.”
As for the web site, he’s launching SecureOurDream.com tomorrow. It’s a charity site. He hasn’t figured out the fundraising part of it yet (perhaps he could ask Barack Obama for tips), but he knows he wants to help people.

He told of a phone call he received from a 72-year old man (not McCain) named Robert who lost his retirement income in the economic meltdown. “He calls me up and says, ‘What do I do now, Joe?’”, Wurzelbacher explained. “I don’t have that answer and I thought I better get that answer. It’s people serving people in this country. It’s not the government trying to help you, they always screw it up,” he added.

16. Lol... That would be Jason the Plumber.


Perhaps, Jason can put in a good word at Roto Rooter for Joe. Meanwhile, Jason may be hunting the ghost of McSame before Joe's coloring book ever gets published. :rofl:

2. Don't you mean "writing" book?
I can't imagine he could write anything on his own, except maybe with crayons.

5. Whose name isn't Joe, who isn't a plumber, who admitted OBAMA's tax plan
would be better for him than mccain's "more bush taxcuts for the rich" plan.

And who I betcha can't actually write.

9. I'm envisioning most of copies languishing on the sale tables at bookstores for
a few months and then being unceremoniously shipped back to be pulped.
