‘Joe the Plumber’ looks to cash in on his 15 minutes of fame.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber,” has signed a deal to write a new book entitled “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.” To capitalize on his recent fame, Wurzelbacher is planning to release it on Dec. 1 – less than two weeks from now. The New York Times reports that the book “will address Mr. Wurzelbacher’s ideas about American values.” Wurzelbacher, who had failed to pay his taxes and wasn’t licensed as a plumber, revealed during the campaign that he was once on welfare but is opposed to welfare programs. He also said, “Social Security’s a joke.”

Who would buy this? From his appearances with McCain & Palin, he doesn't seem the brightest bulb in the box. How does anyone care what he thinks? Does anyone actually care?

This was truly one of the most bizarre campaigns ever. This clown who tried a "gotcha" question on Obama only to later admit that he would be better off - even in his fictional scenario - under Obama's tax plans and was still used as a symbol for the repugs for some unknown reason. I guess because they never let reality interfer with their rantings.

This combines with the Palin fiasco and McCain's erratic behavior really made it look like they were trying to throw the election. How anyone voted for them escapes me...
