Joe the Plumber to become war correspondent

[Feielle]

Just when you thought he was gone...

...He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel’s “‘Average Joes’ share their story.”

Wurzelbacher gained attention during the final weeks of the campaign when he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan.

He later joined Republican John McCain on the campaign trail. At one stop, he agreed with a McCain supporter who asked if he believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.

He's apparently a correspondent for pjtv.com which looks like as reputable of a news site as a 14-year-old's first account on angelfire.

"I'm sure they're taking quick showers, I know I would," Wurzelbacher said. "So you can't plan your day, you can't take a picnic."

Top-notch reporting right there.

Oh God, not this douche again.... It just goes to show you, any turd off the street can be "fair and balanced".

Sounds like the perfect running mate for Sarah Palin in 2012

I can't think of anywhere better for him to be than a war zone halfway across the globe. Really, they can keep him, he should be the "Pajamas TV" official Tel Aviv correspondent.

I hate this dickhead so much.

If you guys haven't seen his interview or whatever where he's talking about abolishing reporters in war, and how it should be like WWI and WWII where you go see your boys on the big screen... then you should look it up. God what an idiot.

That would be awesome, because Joe Biden would be able to fucking ream him in a debate w/out having to worry about sexism.

As if we needed him reporting over there anyways. There's already enough pro-Israeli propaganda being put out by the government.

I like the quote from MSNBC last week as I was channel surfing....

"There have been at least 100 civilian deaths for the Palestinians combined with countless numbers of Palestinian militants and terrorists killed in the Israeli offensive overnight, but Shepard, Israel is not without provocation, one Israeli soldier was killed overnight while on patrol....."

I had a lot of sympathy for this guy originally, he really got dragged into a lot of shit by the media, but now he's just milking it for his own gain.

You should really try to find the original taping of him asking Obama the question and watch the whole thing. He was so obviously placed there and staged it looks like a bad photoshop. I have zero sympathy for him.

Ive heard this a lot; Wurzelbacher was a plant tossed out there by the Republican party to push this whole tax agenda into the spotlight. Part of me really feels like its a tad too conspiracy-theory-esque. Once he started showing up at the conventions and making his own speeches though, the idea grew a shred of credibility in my mind.

[Zilong]

The guy's name isn't even joe, and he's not even a plumber.

It's amazing to think that the republican actually uses him as a platform of their campaign.

And to think that obama's victory wasn't quite a landslide, I really wonder about just how dumb voters are.

Is he scared that one of the Hamas rockets might have his name on it? Not really. After all, as he explained, he's a Christian so God will keep him safe.

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe," he said.

As he goes to Israel to discuss the Israel/Palestine conflict...I'M SURE THIS WILL BE UNBIASED

Then proceeds to say we should abolish press in war zones. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE NOW MR. JOE. HELLO. Goddamn.

I agree that it does sound a bit crazy and guartzy but when I first watched the whole thing and not just the little clip I was like wtf... ok...

Let me try to find that vid and I'll post it and everyone can decided if it was staged or not.

(Also Obama's answer is so on point and clear, god I wish the whole answer got played out as much as the first little blip)

Perhaps Israel will defend itself against him.

The Daily Show had a segment on this a few days ago, definitely worth a laugh.
