Joe The Plumber To Become “Joe The Author Of Novels You Buy At The Airport When Drunk”

Instead of keeping to things like Not Actually Being Named Joe and Not Actually Plumbing, Sam “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher is writing a book and attempting to put out a country music album. God. Fuck. Why do you hate America so hard? Give Michael Chiklis his head back and shut up:

Wurzelbacher said by phone Wednesday after an Ohio campaign event with Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin that he plans to “keep speaking for middle-class America.”

He’ll do that with a book he said will be published “in a couple of weeks.” He’s working with a writer and said it will be a “dignified” story of how his campaign-trail encounter with Democratic nominee Barack Obama brought Wurzelbacher national attention. He’ll also expound on what he thinks about the world today.

You know, fine. We’ll admit it: We don’t fucking care what the “average Joe” thinks. Because the “average Joe” has been represented in U.S. politics for a pretty long time now and that’s yet to do anything from José the Accountant / Lawyer / Lawn Mower / Short Order Cook / Neurosurgeon. So… fuck Joe the Plumber. There. That felt nice. Oh, and about his album:

“They talked about throwing me into the studio. I think we’re going to have a good laugh, and that will be it.”

Yeah. Ha. Fuck your album, too.
