Breitbart is reporting that Joe the Plumber is headed for Israel to report on the conflict there:
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - 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 (WUR'-zuhl-bah-kur) says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting.
Sure, Joe the Plumber is perfect. He's just as qualified to call himself a reporter as he is a plumber, and there's a huge demand here for news coverage with smaller words. Plus, who better to calm tensions in the region than the guy who said that a vote for Barack Obama is a vote for the death of Israel? Is Joe there to count it down?
I've got to hand it to Joe, though. He managed to squeeze 10 days out of Pajamas TV, when I didn't think he'd make it past his 14th minute.
If experience is any indication, Joe will just write whatever pops into his head, and then let the audience figure out if it's true or not. At least, that seemed to be the gist of his appearance with Fox News' Shep Smith.
"If experience is any indication, Joe will just write whatever pops into his head, and then let the audience figure out if it's true or not"
This reminds me of somebody on Political Machine.

Well, hopefully he provides more of a personal touch (and verbiage) than he did when he signed your book. Ugh. Note how it's strategically situated on our bathroom floor, where it belongs. LOL. I think I'll now book a surgical suite in my medical center for tomorrow morning so that I can perform a triple CABG (heart bypass) procedure. WTF?!

DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!!! I have an idea: Round up all the birfers. Dump them in a giant pool filled with lipstick, pitbulls, OxyContins, birf certificates, single mothers, bastards, eye-patches, "Puff The Magic Negro" CD's, "real" Americans, hockey moms in distress, sharp oil drill bits and let Joe the Plumber dive in the shallow end head fucking first.

Tommy, Although it probably wasn't necessary for you to disclose your m.o., we readers are certainly glad you cleared that up. As for joe; all he did was ask a question, the liberal political machine put him in the spotlight.

"As for Joe..." all he's doing is being an opportunist prick who stated Obama would be the death of Israel. You can't even get your facts straight Easter Bunny. Not a peep from you until you bring some game to the hardwood.

I cannot name a handful of "reporters" that are supposed to be professional journalists that write fair and well-founded news coverage. The pre-election coverage in this country was a joke...a disgraceful, sad joke. Joe the Plumber, Mike the Electrician, Lola the Pole-dancer, Sandy the Carwash Attendant, etc could all do better jobs at fair news coverage than most of the 'professional journalists' in this country that were so discraceful. So, Mr. Tommy Christopher of the Political Machine...shut the FUCK up and let this man do the job you are not able to do!

Are Joe's statements dangerous. Obviously, yes, because there are still people (Easter B, Michael OH10 and Ryan - as usual) in this comment section that think he is a viable source of information in any form, unless that is, they are being sarcastic (not likely - because they probably don't even know the meaning of the word). Do they actually think Joe represents "real" Americans? Come on people - please do not degrade the American mind set in the world's eyes anymore.
The danger comes from the fact that there are idiots willing to believe - not likely the Jewish community -but some? people. Just like the idiots that believe Sarah Pain is believable. I hope the pages of their calendars are sticking together so that they can't open it anymore.

I stumbled into this blog by accident, thinking that the link to Joe the plumber was a real piece of news, now after having read it, I see that it is just more mocking garbage from the left. Sad. You guys live in the best country in the world, albiet with some problems, and you trash everything real and good. Grow up and get yourself a real education. you are pathetic, and will cry loudest when it all goes away, thanks to your betrayals. Go Joe!!!!!!

What Is Palestine?
Summary: The lies of the so-called 'Palestinians' and their supporters as well as their collective distortions of factual history cannot overcome reality: There has NEVER BEEN a 'Palestinian' Arab-Muslim king, coin, language, artifact, book, or history - it is all sheer nonsense, created by anti-Semitic genocidal murderers for their own purpose - they are, in fact, the lowest of the low in the human race, lovers of death, Nazi fanatics bent on killing Jews and the State of Israel for their pleasure to meet their Allah - they should be granted that express wish: death without mercy of any kind!
