Joe the Plumber open to 2010 run
Could Joe the Plumber become Joe the congressman?

Joe Wurzelbacher, the most famous plumber in America thanks to John McCain and Sarah Palin, told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham Friday he's considering a run for Congress in 2010.

That would pit Wurzelbacher against longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur for Ohio's 9th district on the state’s northern border, which includes Toledo and Sandusky. "I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight, Marcy Kaptur definitely has a following in this area," he said of the possibility. "But, you know, I'd be up for it."

Wurzelbacher's chances would likely be slim. Kaptur has served in the district for 25 years, and remains a popular figure there. She won reelection in 2006 with nearly 75 percent of the vote and is expected to easily sail through another reelection this year.

Some neocon freak is obviously whispering in this morans ear - and he's slurping it all up.

1. This is how Sarah Palin got her start, you know.
It's funny, but then again it's not.

3. Poor dumb bastard. He got his 15 minutes of fame and a whole bunch of flattery
and media attention, and now he figures he can run for Congress. Maybe he'd better pay his outstanding traffic fines, get his drivers' license reinstated and pay off his tax liens first.

8. When this shithead runs for public office, he'll find out how much fun it is.
Especially when you have a past you would rather not talk about, and it is discovered he's a pathological liar.
