Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, the presidential campaign fixture and John McCain advocate better known as Joe the Plumber, won't have to open his own plumbing business just yet: he has signed a deal to write "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream." PearlGate Publishing, a small publisher in Austin, Tex., announced the book on its Web site, pearlgatepublishing.com.No, it isn't just you. Pearlgate Publishing does sound kinda dirty, and this story does sound familiar. HuffPo brags that they scooped the Times by almost a week, but our own David Knowles beat them both to the punch, reporting the deal a full week before Huffington did. Still, since neither HuffPo nor The Political Machine has a bestseller list, this is a score for Samuel the Pipe-Dickerer.
One of the hilarious -- and sad! -- parts of Samuel "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher's recent interview with CNN's Rick Sanchez was that moment where an exasperated J.T. Plumber whined at Sanchez, "Well, ask good questions then! Why don't you ask what I'm going to do now?" Awww! See, Joe The Plumber wasn't interested in being asked to account for whatever pseudo-intellectual swill was worming its way through his brain when he went out on the stump, with all of his opinions. No, no! Joe The Plumber just wanted to use the forum as a way of plugging all of his upcoming projects, like any good little fame-whore!Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am completely sincere when I say this: Step away from the fame whore!
