Joe the Plumber signs book deal....you gotta see his quotes

[Jackeens]

"Everyone came at me to write a book. They had dollar signs in their eyes. '101 Things Joe the Plumber Knows' or some stupid s--- 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."

The book, called "Joe the Plumber -- Fighting for the American Dream," is to be released by a group called PearlGate Publishing and other small publishing houses.

"I am not going to a conglomerate that way we actually can get the economy jump started. Like there is five publishing companies in Michigan. There's a couple down in Texas. They are small ones that can handle like 10 or 15,000 copies. I can go to a big one that could handle a million or two. But they don't need the help. They are already rich. So that's spreading the wealth to me," he said.

[Bleacher Creature]

4. Who on Earth would EVER buy this?

[TexasObserver]

5. Except for bulk sales to rightwing groups seeking to help his sales, he won't sell 100 copies.

this guy is delusional

I'll predict he ends up on some really shitty Reality Show, like Joe the Plumber gets a Real Chance at Love.

6. Joe the Plumber is my hero.

7. All this for happening to have the cameras on you

when you misrepresented yourself to a presidential candidate? This guy's "15 minutes" have already gone a few weeks overtime...

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Given the nature of the publisher

I assume the advance was zero.

PearlGate Publishing seems to have published only one book so far, written by the same guy who's listed as Joe's coauthor -- Tom Tabback, who is also the registrant for the pearlgate.com domain name.

12. A book by Joe the Plumber?

I'd be amazed if the guy even knew how to read much less write. I think the book would be more useful to wipe your ass with rather than to actually read it. Either that or it would make good kindling for a fire in your fireplace!

13. How many words in this book will actually be written by Joe?

a) 1
b) 2
c) 1.5
d) 0

For the correct answer call Sarah Palin.

15. I'm sure it will end up in a dollar store, just like Page Davis's did.

17. Should be every bit as successful as

Mary Cheney's book.
