http://www.cjr.org/the_kicker/joe_the_forum_joe_the_blogger.php Joe the Plumber’s latest small business? Apparently: himself. JTP’s deeply researched, carefully edited, thoughtful, and not at all hastily-put-together-to-capitalize-on-his-media-celebrity-before-it-expires treatise on The American Dream—written “with” spiritual novelist Thomas N. Tabback—is slated to be released December 1. Yes, of this year. Oh, and it will be titled, humbly and rather delightfully, Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream. To celebrate—and to ensure that copies of the book are sold!—YOU THE PEOPLE can now obtain a Freedom Membership from Joe’s hastily-put-together-to-capitalize-on-his-media-celebrity-before-it-expires Web site, SecureOurDream.com. The Membership, like Freedom itself, ain’t free…but the $14.95 yearly fee practically pays for itself! With it, you’ll get: 1) Total Access to “Joe The Forum” where you may chat directly with Joe 2) Subscription to the “Joe The Blog” monthly newsletter 3) Free Shipping on all “Joe The Plumber” merchandise 4) Free Signed Copy of Joe’s forthcoming book “Joe The Plumber” - Fighting for the American Dream 5) Become an integral part of an American movement to restore our government to the people Now, the mere promise of seeing what a blog looks like as a monthly newsletter is probably reason enough to pay $14.95. As is the opportunity to restore our government to the people, and everything. But, me, I’ll wait to give over my credit card number until Joe gets around to filling the currently empty-except-for-the-book “Shop Joe” section of SecureOurDream.com. NB, JTP: Once your Freedom Membership includes a Limited Edition Joe the Plumber Commemorative $1 Coin, Layered in Genuine 24-Karat Gold, my $14.95 will be yours. (Links on site)
Shame he's giving up his plumbing career. He could set up a closed loop business where he goes on TV, makes people vomit, and then charges $60 dollars an hour to snake undigested food out of drains. It's bullet proof!
He should stick to plumbing, if he is gonna make over $280k/yr. It'll pay more than a $14.95 membership fee.
A Freedom Membership for $14.95? I have it on good authority that that's about $13.90 too high. <object width="300" height="110"><param name="movie" value="http://media.imeem.com/m/n2MYSONUws/aus=false/"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="backColor=ff3333&primaryColor=330000&secondaryColor=993333&linkColor=990000"></param><embed src="http://media.imeem.com/m/n2MYSONUws/aus=false/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="110" wmode="transparent"FlashVars="backColor=ff3333&primaryColor=330000&secondaryColor=993333&linkColor=990000"></embed><a href="http://www.imeem.com/people/uvVvf/music/7LTrm7VA/team_america_world_police_original_motion_picture_soundtr/">Freedom Isn't Free - Team America: World Police - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack</a></object> Spoiler Nice cutoff on the sample, imeem. I was going to link to it from YouTube, but every clip I found completely missed the satire.
Too bad for Joe that McCain lost so bad. It will effect his ability to capitalize on his 15 minutes. Maybe Palin can resurrect old Joe when she runs again. Maybe McCain can hire him to be a handyman around his houses. Poor old Joe.
That's random. But, he seems sufficiently comfortable on TV, so maybe it's the start of a bright new career for him. I wish him well, even if I think he's an idiot.
It's almost too bad he came across as such a duffus during the campaign, because he's actually pretty good in front of the camera. Somehow I think this is the first time pjtv.com has ever been quoted here (or almost anywhere else).
