For those who still can’t fathom Joe Munem, once known as

has kindly provided us with a video blog.

Not that the former campaign strategist would ever engage in self-promotion, but the
3-minute video is mostly Munem, talking about Munem, most of the time. He does
get in a few plugs for the Richmond Community Theatre’s production of Guys and Dolls, opening tonight, in which he plays the role of “Nicely.” (Ah, the air is thick with
irony.)

But the former political consultant, who produced some of
the most outrageous campaign literature ever seen in Macomb County, still knows
how to lay it on thick when going through his shtick. The video shows Munem
hamming it up with a bit of self-deprecating humor as he recounts his 11-year
career on local stages.

The politico-turned-thespian, now the PR guy for a trash hauling company, also
demonstrates on tape that his salesmanship skills are still intact. After all, if you
can sell people on politicians, that’s not a bad bit of background and experience
for making people feel comfortable about garbage.
