Well, I’ll be! Joe the Plumber has an agent?

From the New York Times Caucus blog:

“Joe the Plumber is fast becoming a brand,” said Jim Della Croce, president of the Nashville-based Pathfinder Management group, who is part of the trio that will be representing Mr. Wurzelbacher from now on. “He is a dynamic speaker and an everyman who has become an overnight celebrity. It’s going to be our job to find Joe’s strengths and give him some options.”

Mr. Della Croce said he was even thinking of having Mr. Wurzelbacher record some music, perhaps a song or two of Mr. Tippin’s. “Joe is a hard-core country music fan, and he can carry a tune,” he said. “We’re not calling him anything, though, until we get him into a studio.”

So basically all I need to do to become an overnight celebrity is a) owe a bunch of back taxes, b) buy a plunger, and c) get mentioned 23 times in a presidential debate.
Ahhh...the simplicity of the American dream.
