I heard on "Hardball" last night that he only sold 5 books at this book signing event. Back to plumbing! Oh...wait.. no license, that's right....

I would think you Dems would be supporting a solid blue collar worker. Oh that's right, you assassinate the character of ANYONE who doesn't toe the VICTMIZATION line!

Support a loud-mouthed idiot who didn't understand he was making himself into a patsy/pawn? Right? Your delirium makes me think you've been gored by your own horn, HookEm.

HookEm: I thought Joe was a writer, which isn't "blue collar". Or is he a foreign journalist, as stated recently by him. Or is he a plumber, with no license. Or is he just a tool for McCain, a used and tired tool. I see no blue collar worker here, do you?

Joe the Plumber (no longer a plumber; first name actually Samuel) popped into our town yesterday evening to sell his new book and to remind people that he's still a plain and simple guy. Mission accomplished, on at least one of his missions.

About 11 people wandered into the rows of seats set up hopefully in the basement of a downtown Border's bookstore to hear Joe speak. Joe addressed them from behind a lectern and with a microphone, but that seemed unnecessarily formal.

People just kind of shuffled over when Joe strode in with Thomas N. Tabback, the co-author of "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/26/AR2009022600005.html">Wurzelbacher was scheduled to speak and sign books for three hours, but the Joe Show was over in 55 minutes. Total copies of "Joe the Plumber" sold: five.
