I just managed to drop this in to tonight's "Campaign Comment" and there aren't a lot more details to be had, but I learned during Countdown tonight that Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher is now seeking a deal to write a book about his campaign experience.
This is from an unimpeachable source in the publishing industry, past whom very little in the field, gets. Good old all-American Joe, who has no motive whatsoever but keeping the electorate informed, who is the salt of the earth and the definition of America (now that Governor Palin isn't, any more) is hoping to cash in.
The specifics are, as I suggest, pretty slim. But the traffic was pretty straightforward: a lawyer representing Wurzelbacher has contacted a couple of the talent representation agencies (in Los Angeles, no less) seeking to get while the getting is good.
I suppose this shouldn't surprise anybody, especially given the cheesiness of the guy lying to Obama about the business that he wasn't trying to buy, even though he said it was, and isn't worth anywhere near $250,000 in business, even though he said it is. But one can assume, since they have been surprised by everything else, that the McCain Campaign is utterly stunned by this, and that Joe's usefulness is, uh, circling the drain.
My source did not indicate that the book had been titled, and I imagine we can offer some suggestions here.
I'll be delighted to start it off:
In The Crapper: My Two Weeks With John McCain.
