Only in America can a unlicensed plumber become a star overnight. Joe the Plumber now has a PR agent, a business
manager, possibly a talent agent, and is fielding multiple offers.
Fox News Reports:
Wurzelbacher has signed with reputable Nashville public relations firm The Press Office to handle his media appearances, and there has been chatter that he could be working up a country album for as early as Inauguration Day. Part of the speculation is rooted in the fact that country music artist and producer Aaron Tippin is one of the three people co-managing him.
“He’s no more doing a country music record right now than he’s starring on Broadway. He’s Joe the Plumber trying to get his message across,” The Press Office’s Jim Della Croce insisted in an interview with FOXNews.com. “We’re not going to entertain anything until after the election.”
In this particular window of opportunity, the options seem endless for the Ohio plumber who was launched to stardom earlier this month when he asked Barack Obama a question about his tax policy.
“He’s getting hundreds of media requests, literally hundreds,” Della Croce said. “Though he’s been thrust into it, he’s a celebrity notwithstanding, and with that notoriety he’s being deluged with requests.”
Like any successful brand, the plumber has already touched off a variety of knockoffs — their names always include an occupation, a first name and a definite article, just like the real thing. GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has alternated Wurzelbacher with Tito the Builder, and she makes reference to Christine the Florist and Jack the Hunter.
This is crazy, I guess my earlier astrological prediction that he would become a spokesperson is true. I was only joking but I guess he has really hit a chord.
