The Guardian has news that Sam “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher (who has become a byword for every hard-working American in John McCain’s stump-speech lexicon) is being courted by a record company, keen to turn him into a country music star.

Jim Della Croce, Wurzelbacher’s PR spokesperson (yeah, seriously), has claimed ::

“He is a dynamic speaker and an everyman who has become an overnight celebrity…”

Substitute “everyman” for “Republican plant”, and “overnight celebrity” for “compulsive liar”, and he’s just about right.
