Joe the Plumber (ugh) is not signing on to do a country record deal, meaning the world will have to be bereft of his beautiful voice echoing off the walls of the Met and that chrome head of his.

Whatever, he has something better for you, America. Just because Sam "Joe" Wurzelbacher can't sing, doesn't mean he is totally without artistic merit. Just ask the guy who is going to end up ghostwriting his memoirs!

A lot of things are too premature to talk about, (head of Joe's publicity team) Della Croce said, but a book is already planned.

"Certainly Joe will go down in history and will be a celebrity regardless of which way the election turns," Della Croce said. "He is a curiosity. He's touched a nerve with the common man, and people are curious as to what's on his mind. I think he speaks for a lot of people."

Oh sure, this is going to be a great book. Wonder if it will have a whole chapter about Joe's opinion on foreign policy, a little something that's gotten him into some hot water recently when he agreed with a man at a McCain rally who said that an Obama presidency would mean death to Israel.
