Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter’s notebook.The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for the conservative Web site pjtv.com.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says he’ll spend 10 days covering the fighting
He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel’s “‘Average Joes’ share their story.”
To say my mind is spinning would be the very definition of the word "understatement".
I could NEVER have seen this coming.
I am not sure WHY anybody wants to send an unqualified person to report on such a complicated issue in such a dangerous environment, I don't understand WHY Wurzelbacher would accept such a job, and I don't understand WHO would really care to read whatever "reporting" was posted on the internet by this "plumber's tool".
Who is sitting at home thinking to themselves "You know what I REALLY want to read? I want to read the opinions of an American wannabe plumber about a conflict of biblical proportions that has confounded the greatest journalistic and political minds of our generation"?
What fresh perspective is Wurzelbacher going to provide? "Well the Palestinian plumbing is clearly outdated and substandard. I think the solution to this entire problem is to install copper piping in all of the homes on the West Bank. With increased water flow I am confident that a cease fire is definitely within reach."
Is it okay to come back out of the rabbit hole yet?
I am not sure who would want to hear anything he has to say...
ReplyDeletePJTV...????? Plumber Joe TeeVee???
Geeze give me a break this is just over the top.
He probably sees this as a way to worm his way into Faux news, if he doesn't get his a$$ shot off there....
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I guess the Ty-D-Bol Man was busy or something.
ReplyDelete"I don't understand WHY Wurzelbacher would accept such a job".................
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and just like SP, I bet he didn't even blink!
WTF has this world come to? I'll have to google this organization hiring him. Without knowing anything about them, without a doubt they must be absolutely nuts.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on the news last night, and thought this would be about the last issue JTP would even care about...shouldn't he be doing in depth exposes on socialists and taxes? That seemed to be the only thing swaying his vote...now he's a war correspondent?
ReplyDeleteOK, probably no sane reporter from Toledo volunteered for the Israel gig, and some producer brainstormed that JTP would go since his "agent" has probably been calling them everyday to get him a job. I guess Joe figures this is his only way in....but he may come home in a body bag.
Maybe he can help repair all the pipes damaged by the bombs...your specualtion on his commentary is priceless.
Yeah, Joe, God forbid we have opinions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m8goJBcVFY
