Joe The Plumber Hooks Up With Nashville Publicist

From CMT:

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.
