Joe Wurzelbacher, who lives in northwestern Ohio, is the marquee talent for the 16th annual “Funniest Celebrity in Washington” contest. From the press release:

Show producer Richard Siegel today updated the sure-to-be-hilarious lineup, featuring some of the biggest names to ever participate in the show.  Political commentator Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher, veteran contestant Grover Norquist (President, Americans for Tax Reform), Richard Miniter (Vice President of Opinion, The Washington Times), Count Gore De Vol (WDCA-TV), Anna Mulrine (US News and World Report) and Jeremy Ben Ami (J Street Family of Organizations) have been announced for the competition, with more contestants coming soon.

It’s a conservative-leaning lineup, which is not uncommon here; Norquist is on the board, and conservatives have more material right now.
