Oh how the largely obscure and unnecessarily famous have fallen. After the election there were rumors that McCain surrogate Joe the Plumber would be recording his own country album and possibly be the next "Bachelor." So how did all that work out?

What he's actually doing is plugging TV converter boxes for a company I've never heard of when all cable signals switch from analog to digital in February. The best part is, he's framing the issue as "vital for the security of America." Um, do you want to explain that a little bit Joe? Or is that just another buzzword like "socialism" that you're using to scare old people into doing things. 

I bet if McCain won he'd be handing out roses left and right about now.
