Joe the Plumber Lands Book Deal
The New York Times is reporting that Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, the presidential campaign fixture and John McCain advocate better known as Joe the Plumber, won’t have to open his own plumbing business just yet: he has signed a deal to write “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.”

Helen Jones-Kelley, the suspended director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, “had no legitimate agency function or purpose to support her decision” to check on the newly minted political figure, the report states…

“However, the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized searches are exacerbated in light of the director’s sending and receiving e-mail related to a political activity through state resources,” the report said…
Charles said his report would be sent to the office of Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien for review…
The agency has no such policy in writing or records documenting such checks on the newly famous or rich, but state officials said the inspector general was provided with several examples of the practice from recent years.

He became an overnight sensation because he didn’t understand what Obama told him, and yet he’s going to have a book wrote about him - y’all really don’t think he’s writing this book himself right? As Paris Hilton has proven time and again, you don’t have to be smart to be a success!
