Would you listen to a country album from 'Joe the Plumber'?

Joewurzelbacher_l You know that one dude Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher (pictured) everyone keeps talking about on TV? He may or may not already be a played-out Halloween costume, but he sure is famous. So famous, in fact, that he's just retained the services of a Nashville-based PR firm, which sent me a press release last night. Said publicity firm has also been quoted as saying that "Joe" is considering launching a country music career. Yep, that's right — "Joe the Plumber" is on the cusp of pulling a Joaquin the Actor. I, Simon the Blogger, am going to refrain from making a hasty judgment on this important matter (as well as from making any further lame "______ the ______er" jokes). So you tell me. Good idea? Bad idea? And wouldn't it make more sense for a plumber to play some good old-fashioned musical pipes than to try and become a country singer?

Don't know if I would, but a friend in Idaho e'd me to lay some long distance twang on a Joe the plummer song he wrote and when I went to check it out on you tube it was great to find out it's probably the best one out there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3AqT5mVzNw

btw we grew up together up in Alaska - my sis played basket ball against caribou barbie and my uncle still lives right up the road from her!

Craig Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 06:25 PM EST

Good God, can this guy just leave alreay?!?!

Alexandra Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 05:05 PM EST

I also hear that Joe-not-a-licensed-plumber is also considering writing a book! I can't imagine who he thinks would be interested in the story of his pathetic life. Perhaps Sarah-I-can't-name-anything-I've-ever-read-Palin?

Jim from MD Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 08:48 AM EST

Joe the plumber was considering buying a plumbing company, I see no reason why he can't consider being a CW singer.

He can consider becoming the CEO of Microsoft as well, or consider being the US ambassador to Sweden. There are no limits on what he can consider.

I wonder how he's going to pay the publicist.

Aubrey Bollenbaugh Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 10:34 AM EST

Joe the plumber couldn't be any worse than some of the present CW stars. Most howl thru their noses and mumble the words.
I like the SONS of The Pioneers. That is good MUSIC.

Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST

Who?

Terry Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 05:12 PM EST

When is this McCain/Palin/Plumber nightmare going to end? Oh yeah, as soon as the first poll closes on Nov. 4, 2008 when Obama wins!

E.A, Cervino Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 03:42 PM EST

Let’s be fair, Joe the plumber could not do worst than McCain if he decided to run for office, No body could, no matter how low their IQ.
Beside if Palin and Joe becomes the leaders of the republican base, we can be sure that they will be forever an insignificant minority, Go Joe! Please go

Joe the DOUCHEBAG Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 10:01 AM EST

Seriously, I can't even believe there are people STUPID enough to vote for McCain after this ridiculous charade he calls a campaign has gone on! What presidential candidate in the right mind finds some redneck loser to be their little "mascot"? And do I honestly even need to get on the subject of Palin, the biggest fuckin idiot to ever walk the Earth? As for the country album...I HATE COUNTRY MUSIC AND I HATE JOE THE DOUCHEBAG! I would maybe buy it just to wipe my ass with! If you are thinking about voting for McCain, use whatever tiny little brain you have and make the right choice...VOTE OBAMA!!!

NO nobama Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 08:41 AM EST

Hi, nobama 08. I see you're back out from under your rock. And that you're the only one here who's saying you would buy this album. NO surprises there.

MArk Lockwood Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

Bizzarro world. How about Palin/Plumber 2012. Excuse me, I have to get my lobotomy now.

Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 05:59 AM EST

No, but when will Joe the Plumber's stint in a VH1 Celebreality show start?

Can we Ohioans get a measure stuck on the ballot next month to vote this guy out? It's 14:59:59 and most of us still aren't impressed or swayed.

timothy Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 05:06 AM EST

Subject Line : Beat Long Poll Lines with Absentee Ballots from StateDemocracy.org


Many state and local election officials are encouraging voters to use Absentee Ballots to avoid the long lines and delays expected at the polls on November 4th due to the record-breaking surge in newly registered voters.

Voters in most states still have time to obtain an Absentee Ballot by simply downloading an official application form available through www.StateDemocracy.org, a completely FREE public service from the nonprofit StateDemocracy Foundation.

nobama 08 Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 02:56 AM EST

yes i would!!! but i will probably only get a chance to if mccain wins. obama wil probably tax the record company and they'll have to fire all their artists!

azkarenlr Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 01:20 AM EST

Are you freakin kidding me? The Republican side has been like watching,
"Dumb, Dumber and now Dumbest! Please, Joe the Plumber, do us all a favor and get a contractors license already and flush it and yourself down the toilet! Take a hike you schmuck!

arod Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 01:03 AM EST

What a freakin joke this Republican campaign has turned out to be, what a cast of characters....Joe the Plumber, Tito the construction worker....Sarah the incompetent and last but not least the chunky racist girl from Pennsylvania who faked her own attack.

Joan T Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 11:40 PM EST

I would not listen to a note from a song by Joe the want to be plumber, want to be writer, want to be McCain's flunky. I would not could not, not in my car, not in my house, not even with Joe the mouse. I would not could not...ever! This whole Joe thing is pathetic. He needs to crawl back into the "I don't want to pay taxes but I want to grow my business" junk hole that he came from...no wonder he is single...YUCK! If I had been smacked over the head with a 2x4 and was planning on voting for McCain and the fact that Sarah Palin was his VP didn't change my mind...Joe the Plumber would have. It is so beyond stupid I can't stand it.

Joe Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 11:10 PM EST

It makes perfect sense to have a plumber on-hand when your campaign is in the toilet.

Puck Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 10:57 PM EST

What gets me is that the far right wingnuts are all pro Israel for the campaign but they are anti semitic at home

90% BUSH Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 09:45 PM EST

Nah, you're not in the Twilight Zone. It's much worse. You're in the middle of a horrendous Republican-mudslinging-don't-bother-to-check-out-the-background-of-our-idiot-tax-evading-Joe-the-Plumber-plant campaign.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

Raven_Moon Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:36 PM EST

Am I in the Twilight Zone?

jbStephens Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:35 PM EST

you kidding, right? why should a moron like Joe the glue huffing plumber cut cd (or covers no doubt) and get marketing for it based on the fact that he's a mccain/republican stooge?

kev Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST

..."It's my belief that a vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Israel."

Joe the Plumber: "Well, you know what, I'll actually go ahead and agree with you on that one,"

McCain is actually bringing this douchebag in front of his campaign rallies...displaying him like an american hero...

Urrrgh...who the hell is in charge of running McCain's campaign??? They are doing such a ridiculously horrible...horrible job.

christina sauma Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 08:06 PM EST

If this record deal doesn't pan out, he can always become a foreign affairs adviser to republicans!!

Redvines Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 07:46 PM EST

A lot of folks in Red America will buy any piece of crap he puts out and THEN this douchebag really will make over 250K and pay a little extra.

pirate Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 07:42 PM EST

Awesome idea, can't wait to hear his vocals, and I'll be one of the many who will buy his debut C.D.

Seriously, only in America one can become instantly famous...maybe I should give it try. Any suggestions on how to become famous overnight? Lol.

JL Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 07:03 PM EST

OMG now he wants to sing. I for one would NOT buy his music. I suppose an idiot can consider himself a "real American." Well, I am a REAL American and I voted for OBAMA/BIDEN. On Nov.5th there will be lots of us dancing on the roof. OBAMA Yesssssss

Mary in Dallas Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST

Isn't Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes up yet?? Let's move on the next "flavor of the week..."

JTP & the McCain/Palin ticket do NOT understand the economy at all. Most Americans do not. ALL Americans should watch the following documentary:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936

Also visit The Money Masters website: http://www.themoneymasters.com/index.htm

It's fascinating, enlightening, & scary. BTW, I'm 1 of those making > $250K/yr & understand the responsibility to make sure the working class does not fall into poverty. It's not Socialism. It's freedom.

Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 05:08 PM EST

Makes you yearn for the pre-internet, pre-instant news media days. His 15 minutes are up, already!

Liddy Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 05:04 PM EST

Boy this guy is just milking his 15 for all its worth, isn't he? Here's a prediction: he'll make more money as a plumber than he ever will as a singer. Verdict: Stick with your day job.

jackie Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:40 PM EST

shouldn't he like play the washboard or that tub with the stick and string thing? in like a plumber band or something? or maybe he should just STICK TO FIXING TOLIETS.

bb Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:25 PM EST

If he can sing, and the songs are decent (which I doubt since they are slappin this thing out there) then yes I'd listen to it, once.

Stephanie T. Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:25 PM EST

Would the media PLEASE stop with Joe the Plumber already? Geez! If Obama and McCain said that they met Joe Shmo, Joe Shmo would be a country singer too? BTW: did anyone find "Joe Six Pack?! :-/

Emoney Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:24 PM EST

Please, God, make him go away already.

Wagonmaker Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

And I forgot to say to everyone: VOTE like your future depends on it, because it does.

Wagonmaker Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 04:02 PM EST

I'd have say no. Especially after his ignorant reply to an equally ignorant voting citizen yesterday who furthered the big lie that Obama would be the death to Israel. Even Fox's Shepard Smith couldn't allow that lie to go forward when he interviewed Joe the ignorant about it. No music, no Joe, no McCain, no Palin, no way, no how.

vw Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:55 PM EST

depends on if he can sing. btw, i'm a small business owner and i approve his message.

Sabrina Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST

I hope for his sake that he's, like, an incredible undiscovered talent. Otherwise this is simply HORRIFYING.

DanOregon Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:36 PM EST

Maybe the guy is a great singer. I won't judge him until I hear it.
But I do worry that this is another instance of country music being more about selling records than making good records.

dma69 Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

Oh great! Another ubiquitious nobody looking to get their 15 minutes of fame. Dammit, McCain! See what you started?

Xena Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:11 PM EST

Cinderella, yeah, that's what he keeps saying, but he's a typical Republican and talks out both sides of his mouth. Maybe that new album will help him pay those taxes he owes.

JeriKratzhole Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 03:10 PM EST

"Love him!", you love what Joe the Plumber stands for? Owing having a lien on his house because he owes back taxes? And I'm way more patriotic than him because I PAY MY TAXES.

Nancy Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:50 PM EST

Ick. Maybe his time would be better spent obtaining a plumber's license?

Cinderella Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:39 PM EST

I thought this guy wanted OUT of the public spotlight?

Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:37 PM EST

no.

Love him!!!!!!!!! Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:35 PM EST

NO, But I love what he stands for !!! Go Joe, use up your 15 minutes like all of the other useless Hollywood elite do!!!!! Hooray for the middle class man with a lot of American patriotism!!!!

JeriKratzhole Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:32 PM EST

Would I listen to a country album from Joe the Plumber? NO
Would I vomit all over a country album from Joe the Plumber? YES

Kristin Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:29 PM EST

Aren't this guy's 15 minutes up yet?

Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 02:26 PM EST

NO.
