Joe the Plumber had a great time at SNL afterparty with Martin Eisenstadt. Discussing being next season's "Bachelor" and hitting on cast members. All this according to McCain advisor Eisenstadt - himself more than a bit randy, as you'll start to see in this episode of "The Last Republican." Marty just blogged about Joe the Plumber at his site at:

Marty's become the Zelig of the campaign season. It's this sort of intersection between politics and entertainment that you might expect from the man who boldly went where no McCain surrogate had gone in "The Last Republican", Part 9: 9021-Ohhh!
In this episode, Eisenstadt and his trusted aide Danny Sadler descend on the glitterati of Beverly Hills and keep finding McCain supporters in California. And just what exactly does Marty have in mind for me at the end of this long day? There's one more episode to come before the election, and ALL will be revealed.
This is my docu series I did for the BBC following Martin Eisenstadt, conservative blogger and McCain insider, as he stumps for McCain in LA. He's the guy who just leaked that Joe "The Plumber" is related to Charles Keating of Keating Five fame.
It being an election year, BBC asked me to do a piece on celebrity and politics and how they intersect here in the States. This was around the time that the McCain campaign was running an ad comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In pursuing my research, I contacted the pundit/blogger, Martin Eisenstadt, who first broke this story. I followed him for a day of campaigning when he visited Los Angeles. I quickly realized that Eisenstadt was my story. Already something of an internet mystery (he's been called a "fraud" and even worse) it turns out that in addition to being a blogger and a pundit, he's a McCain surrogate, a war profiteer and a bit of a randy bloke all around. Let's see if he gets under your skin as he got under mine.
Here's a link to his blog: http://www.eisenstadtgroup.com
Watch out, Sam. That guy is a smooth talker. He may be working an angle for a sequel to the documentary: "The Little Republicans."
