Move over, Sanjaya, and tell William Hung the news: Joe the Plumber is being pursued for a major record deal and could come out with a country album as early as Inauguration Day.

“Joe” — aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, a Holland, Ohio, pipe-and-toilet man — just signed with a Nashville public relations and management firm to handle interview requests and media appearances, as well as create new career opportunities, including a shift out of the plumbing trade into stage and studio performances.

On Tuesday, Wurzelbacher joined country music artist and producer Aaron Tippin to form a new partnership that includes booking-management firm Bobby Roberts and publicity-management concern The Press Office to field the multiple media offers he’s received over the past few weeks.

Among the requests: a possible record deal with a major label, personal appearances and corporate sponsorships. A longtime country music fan, Wurzelbacher can sing and “knocks around on guitar” but is not an accomplished musician or songwriter, according to The Press Office’s Jim Della Croce.

“He’s a complicated guy with a very dynamic personality,” Della Croce told Politico. “He can sing and obviously has a strong political point of view.”

The Press Office, a PR firm based in Nashville, Tenn., represents an eclectic array of other clients including country stars John Anderson and the Gatlin Brothers, quirky folk singer Leon Redbone, NASCAR driver Chase Mattioli and animal repellent firm Liquid Fence. The Bobby Roberts Company reps several of the same acts, in addition to Juice Newton, Merle Haggard and Jon Secada.

2. another joe the plumber thread?

do you realize how much free advertising mccain has gotten out of him? we need to personalize the election.

[Swamp Rat]

18. Isn't it GREAT!!

:D

[Bicoastal]

3. EXCELLENT news...

...if there's any greater proof this guy is a media whore, this would be it.

[TornadoTN]

4. No wonder he's supporting McCain - he's the next William Hung

He's getting rich thanks to his planted question. Which of course noone even bothers to point out that Obama was right about his response and very good with it too.

At this rate, Joe the Fraud is going to be a millionaire by November 4th and like William Hung, he's getting famous for being an idiot (but at least Hung had passion and charm).

[npincus]

8. LOL-- I thought of William Hung, too

I'd rather hear a cacophony of clogged toilets being plunged than Joe the Plumberstrumming his guitar.

[Tribetime]

20. at least most people liked Mr. Hung

[kwolf68]

5. First song he'll do

"Hot On Left, Cold On Right, Shit Floats Down"

[AlCzervik]

6. He looks like a date rapist.

just sayin.

[Coexist]

7. yeah, and then we can file it next to this stuff:

[sallyseven]

9. The guy is a fraud.

He was a plant. He used to call the nut case radio right wingers. If the media would play the whole encounter of him and Obama we would see exactly what took place. He doesn't make more than 40K a year. How is he going to buy the company. He doesn't have a license and after this little deal he won't be allowed to make repairs in anyones house. McCain is just despicable shoving this fraud down the throats of the American people. How little he respects the average american.

[npincus]

10. he is an unlicensed plumber, isn't a musician or a songwriter, his name isn't Joe..

he's the GOP's Paris Hilton-- famous for being famous.

Paris got a record deal, too.

[kskiska]

11. Yeah, then there was Ashley Whatsername

the whore who serviced Governor Spitzer. These people don't seem to know they have a very short shelf life.

[JuniperLea]

12. Any bets on which RW supermodel

He will soon be dating?

:puke:

This guy is a fraud... just like McCain/Palin.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. McLoser's campaign has turned into a bad reality show. nt

[npincus]

14. LOL... how true, fodder for a TruTV mini-series.

[GrizzlyMan]

15. I don't think JTP is a "complicated guy"

I think he's a mouth breathing simpleton not unlike 99 percent of McSame supporters.

[tanyev]

16. Holy Crap!

:rofl:

[Supply Side Jesus]

17. Record deal will be DOA

Once Obama wins. Who is going to want to buy one of McCain's singing tools?

[DoctorMyEyes]

19. He's ruined his own life

and doesn't even know it yet. Dumb ass.

It won't be long till he's in rehab and it won't be long after that that he's living out of his car.
