Joe the Country Singer? Record Deal In the Works

Share

(Newser) – We already knew he could fix a toilet and stir up a presidential race. Now, Joe the Plumber may be dazzling us with a country album on Inauguration Day, Politico reports. It seems the artist formally known as Joe Wurzelbacher has teamed up with a Nashville PR firm and is being pursued by a major label.

“He’s a complicated guy with a very dynamic personality,” said one of his new press agents. “He can sing and obviously has a strong political point of view.”

Joe the Plummer is a joke. He is about as stupid as the rest of the GOP. Maybe he can pay his taxes when he becomes a famous singer, or member of congress, or he even may be able to get his plumbers liscense. Reply

Joe the Plumber is a complicated guy? Not to complicated, he can't even pay what he owes, and this is the man McCain said is his ideal Reply
