The art of pimping your name

Thanks to Senator John McCain we all know “Joe the Plumber”.

Now, Joe is trying to cash in on his newfound fame. Who can blame him? He became an instant celebrity during the last Presidential debate and has been the eye of the media since.

In the last few weeks, Joe has talked about potentially running for Congress in 2010. He has also talked about possibly starting a singing career; he has hired a publicity team, and has a possible book deal in the works.

That is pretty impressive.

But, what makes him qualified to even discuss running for Congress; or, consider recording? And, is there really anything interesting or important about his life, other than the fact that he spoke to Obama that warrants a book?

It seems to me that would be a quick read.

And, I thought the real issue was supposed to be the fact that he was plumber who would not be able to purchase the business he had worked so hard for – all because of Senator Obama’s economic plan.

Maybe, he should be thanking Obama.

His little conversation with the Senator has produced some real fruit - at least for fifteen minutes.

The Wizard has spoken.
