"Joe" the "Plumber" has hired a Nashville publicist

[Bluebear]

:eyes:

I guess it was inevitable: Joe the Plumber has hired a publicist. And it’s a Nashville publicist, at that. I just returned to the office late Tuesday night after covering an event in downtown Nashville and saw the e-mail message: “We are excited to announce the addition of Joe ‘The Plumber’ Wurzelbacher to The Press Office for exclusive public relations representation!” Wurzelbacher, of course, is the Ohio man who wants to buy a plumbing business but is concerned about the nation’s financial future. The guy whose favor was aggressively courted by both John McCain and Barack Obama in the last presidential debate. The guy who, as The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart says, has already done more interviews than Sarah Palin. I must emphasize that The Press Office is a reputable company that’s owned and operated by Jim Della Croce, a respected music industry veteran. His other clients include John Anderson, Pam Tillis and McCain supporter Aaron Tippin. But you have to wonder about the plans for Joe the Plumber’s upcoming public relations campaign. Will there be more media opportunities for him after the election? A lot of public appearances? Is there a book deal in the works? But, dear God, please don’t tell me Joe has abandoned his plan to buy a plumbing business so he can concentrate on his real dream — to become a country music star.

1. Gee I thought Joe wasn't going to be able to afford to be rich

If Obama wins, but he's planning on needing a publicist? How can lowly old Joe afford a publicist?

2. This Joe stuff will end up costing him in the long run. His five

minutes of fame was over a week ago. I would suggest he go home, study up and get his plumbers license.
If he thinks he will make a career out of what's going on, I have a bridge for him. The only one that will make money is the Public Relations firm. Wake up Joe, you've been duped. Your light will fade on November 4th.

3. i thought jim croce was dead...

:shrug:

why did he give up singing to become a publicist?

[Wickerman]

4. I imagine hate radio will find a place for him

it may be local, but he can probably make more as a hate meister than as a plumbers helper. If he doesn't stroke out in self-righteous anger then basement dwellers will love him for a season.

5. Ugh, he's going to end up as a right-wing radio hack, isn't he?

[babylonsister]

6. There's a book or CD I'll never buy. But when opportunity knocks,

strike while the iron is hot, fool me once....

[trof]

7. Oh, come ON. You're making this up.

:rofl:

8. Your love snaked the clogs of me heart by Joe the Plumber

Your love snaked the clogs of me heart
and now I'm a better man

I used to be in pain
My wounds would never drain

I was stopped up and choking
but now my love is ever flowing

Because you snaked the clogs of my heart

9. 14 minutes and 16 seconds have already passed......nt

10. John McCain, the Simon Cowell of politics. Maybe when they throw him out of the Senate

he can get a show on FOX...America's Next Political Idol.

11. I hope in a week, he'll be a relegated to 'odd footnote' status

forever more.

What a chump that guy is.

[guitar man]

12. He's a lazy bastard

Never had enough ambition as a "plumber" to go get himself a license and make over $40k a year despite his bullshit about plans to "buy the business" he was working for. Now he stumbles into the spotlight and it looks like he sees a way out of actually having to work for a living by sucking rethug cock. What a maroon! :eyes:

[gollygee]

13. His fame will be gone in just under a week

No one will remember him in a year. He should save his money.

14. There are publicists in Nashville?

[LiberalHeart]

15. What was that about his not wanting publicity?

Poor beat up Joe. All he did was ask a question and he got all this publicity that has bothered him so much he went out and hired a publicist.

[rucky]

17. He's a very humble and private man.

At least that's what he implies in every interview he does.

[rucky]

16. I can't wait to see his VH-1 Behind The Music special.

or maybe he'll be on The Surreal Life next season?

[Bluebear]

20. Behind The Commode

[LiberalHeart]

18. Go to the link for the PR company. Must be he's gonna be a singer.

19. The term "Attention Whore" comes to mind.....

n/t

[deutsey]

21. Yes...forever henceforth he shall be known as "Joe the Attention Whore"

:thumbsup:

22. Joe seems to be "flush" with cash. Wonder where from?

My God, is this what the Grand Old Party has come to? Joe the Plumber's-crack and Caribou Barbie?

This is all they've got left?

Wow, don't see much of a future for the party, do you?

Maybe, Joe and Sarah can start a new party to snip at the heels of the Democratic Party, for about the next generation or two.

I've got the perfect name for it, too: The Porcelain Party.

[Swamp Rat]

23. Pass the salt

:D

[gardenista]

24. Boy, he sure does seem to have a lot of money

for a guy who couldn't pay off a thousand dollar tax lien.

Hope the publicist got payment up front. The RNC is going to throw this guy to the curb on Nov. 5.
