Joe The Plumber - for CONGRESS?

Ok, SRSLY. This guy has had more than his 15 minutes of fame... first he's seeking a book deal, and now he contemplates running for Congress?

Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber," said Friday he may consider running for Congress in 2010, challenging longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) in the Toledo-area district.

"I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight," Wurzelbacher said during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham show Friday, "but, you know, I'd be up for it."

"There is a movement afoot to draft you to run for Congress," Ingraham said. "Joe, let me tell you something: you decide to run for Congress, and I'll help you with your PR, I'll help you do your ads, I mean, I'll volunteer to help you."

Pardon mon français, but are you shitting me? The same Joe the Plumber that's not really a plumber, has an interesting legal history, evades his taxes, and has bordered on race-baiting? I, for one, find Joe a very fishy GOP plant, but we may never know (and honestly, I don't care). However, this Congress bit just puts me over the top.

I'm all for Mr. Smith goes to Washington, folks, but after the Palinscapades, I'm beginning to dread these types popping up on ballots across the country for a long time to come.
