Joe the Plumber… War Correspondent?
I’ll let Joe explain his new job in his own words.
“If given the opportunity to do some good however minute it may be, or could be something really good, you gotta take that chance. You have to do it.”
“It’s tragic, I mean it really is. I don’t say that in any little way. It’s very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people suppose to do.”
“I get to go over there and let their “Average Joes” share their story, what they think, how they feel, especially with world opinion, maybe get a real story out there.”
Have at it.

I can’t wait. Yossie the Mohel is going to tell him to “vacson lik a tzibella mit dein kop in drerd” (he should grow like an onion with his head in the ground (and then give him a bris), and Mahmoud who is trying to get help to his relatives in Gaza is going to have other choice words (my Arabic is not that great). Maybe they won’t let him off the plane at Ben Gurion and he’ll have nowhere to go but back to Ohio.
The choice scenario would be for Joe the Plumber to not even pass El Al security measures.
But this is just witless — I’ve read recently some discussion from the right about why they have not been able to replicate Talking Points Memo or Huffington Post and this would be exactly why. Sending the clueless to cover a really serious story isn’t going to get them any credibility.
Despite those Paris Hilton ads, Republicans are the true celebrity lovers.
The Republicans bench is not very deep at all, is it?
