"Joe The Plumber" Book Deal Details Emerge

In a somewhat predictable move, Joe The Plumber, aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, has signed a book deal. Joe told Fox News that he was "broke," but still took time in considering his publishing house because he wanted to spread the wealth around.

"Everyone came at me to write a book. They had dollar signs in their eyes. '101 Things Joe the Plumber Knows' or some stupid s--- like that. Excuse me, I am sorry," he said. "You know I will get behind something solid, but I won't get behind fluff. I won't cash in, and when people do read the book they will figure out that I didn't cash in. At least I hope they figure that out."

The book, called "Joe the Plumber -- Fighting for the American Dream," is to be released by a group called PearlGate Publishing and other small publishing houses.

"I am not going to a conglomerate that way we actually can get the economy jump started. Like there is five publishing companies in Michigan. There's a couple down in Texas. They are small ones that can handle like 10 or 15,000 copies. I can go to a big one that could handle a million or two. But they don't need the help. They are already rich. So that's spreading the wealth to me," he said.

CJR has reported several new details on the book today. Titled "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream," it's slated to be released on December 1st of this year and will be co-written with a novelist named Thomas Tabback.

Coloring book? Red crayons only?

[timetorevolt]

Most of the people who like him can't read. Who is going to buy the book?

[leafericson]

MIGHT MAKE GOOD READING WHILE SITTING ON THE BOWL.....AND IF YOU RUN OUT OF PAPER JUST USE A PAGE OR TWO........

[Veratruth]

LOL ... And, after using a few pages, then stuff them back in and send it back.

Can you say "bargain book table?"

[levelshot]

Joe is actually considering another Title for his book "There Was No Hard Sell To Get Dumb Down Republican Supporters To Buy My Book"

[NoDoubt08]

Joe should call his web subscribers "Plumbers' Friends."

And name his blog, "The Pesky Floater."

Sheep will follow anything.

pure filth.

The publishers are kidding themselves if they think they are going to make bank on this deal. What a waste of paper.

Gee, I am really anticipating the release of this book. First of all, who will write it? Second of all, what on earth will be in it? Tips on cheating on your taxes, how to leave your wife, how to lie to the press, how to make up fantasies about buying a business, and other useful information for good citizens? This guy is a scam artist pure and simple. Maybe and and Palin could get together and start of new political party!

Boycott this book.
We do not need to make him rich. He has had his 15 mins. of fame.

[kewps]

Even if I had the money to spare in this tanking economy this is one book I will definitely take a pass on. This loser, like Sarah Palin needs to just go away. Heck, I wouldn't even borrow this from my public library!

I think Joe is about to learn the shelf life of reality star fame.

There are a few agents in LA that specialize in them... They may be able to get him work on something like Hollywood Squares, Maury, or if he plays his cards right, in a few years, Celebrity Rehab.
