Would you pay $1,000 for a private meeting with Joe the Plumber?


I wouldn't. Samuel Wurzelbacher, the man who became known in the 2008 presidential campaign as "Joe the Plumber" is campaigning for New Jersey Republican Steve Lonegan who is running for Governor. Lonegan's campaign is charging $1,000 for a private meeting with "Joe the Plumber." Let's see. That should raise about $0.00. Here is the story from WCBS Newsradio.
Steve Lonegan's campaign announced the man who became known in the 2008 presidential campaign will appear at a taxpayer rally in Clark on May 5.

Lonegan is seeking the GOP nomination for governor along with former U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie and Assemblyman Rick Merkt.

Lonegan's campaign is charging $1,000 for a private meeting with the one-time plumber and the candidate. General admission is $50.

That idiot only managed to pull something like ten people to his free book signing in DC, and he thinks people are going to pay to talk to him? He is nothing but a gold digging opportunist, and Israeli correspondent, and his name isn't Joe, It's Sam, and he isn't technically a plumber.
