Joe the Plumber has signed a book deal! His book about his "ideas of American values" will be out on Dec. 1. Do you see this being on your Christmas list - as either a request from Santa, or as a gift?
"...he has signed a deal to write “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.” PearlGate Publishing, a small publisher in Austin, Tex., announced the book on its Web site, pearlgatepublishing.com."
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
How can he have a book out so quickly? It was only a few months...
Under my Christmas Tree. Just for supporting Joe alone...
The press will be more interested in determining if Joe has a ghost writer than they ever cared about whether Barack Obama had one on his books, which is odd because those books and running for President are the sum total of Barack’s “experience” that people said made him a good candidate for the White House.
He’s been working on it since the offer came. He made it clear that he had to reject some of the offers. Some wanted him to be a “joke” (like a page a gag kind of thing).
No one could publish a book this quickly. He would have to have a ghost writer and an excellent editor who can work under the most stressful of conditions. I personally think this is ridiculous. Not that Joe would write a book—he’s a lot more intelligent than a lot of politicians—but that he would publish it so quickly, regardless of Christmas...
If I were him, I would arrange to be paid $249,999.99/year.
On January 20, the IRS, FBI, and who knows what other agencies will be on Joe's trail. He'd better make as much as he can soon.
Write a book in only a few weeks? Well he has to have a great ghost-writer and editor who can work round-the-clock with great ouput..... but it will still be more credible than either of Obambi’s “memoirs”......
Good for Joe. I will buy his book.
I doubt I would even read it, much less buy it.
Maybe it was planned?
Yes it was planned 10 years ago that Joe would be living in the neighborhood that Obama would be campaigning in
(/RMFE)
I think Joe the Plumber missed his calling. He should have been a reporter. He was the only in the campaign to ask BHO a tough question.
I think Joe has just about used up his 15 minutes.
I have no problem with him making as much money as he can. I think he deserves it. But I’m talking about the quality of this book. It just can’t be there under this deadline.
Nowadays, ya just never know...
Poor Joe the Writer. Taxes will eat him alive.
Well let me help you.

There are publishers who churn these books out in very short time frames. I remember my wife reading a Scott Peterson book four years ago that was released no more than two weeks after he was found guilty.
