Joe the Plumber trades his wrench for a reporter's notepad in Sderot

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Joe the Plumber has set aside his wrenches to become a rookie war correspondent, covering Israel's side of its two-week-old military offensive in Gaza.

The Ohio man, who rocketed to fame during the U.S. presidential campaign for challenging Barack Obama on his tax plan, was in Sderot Sunday to tell readers of the conservative pjtv.com Web site about the rockets that rain down there from the neighboring Gaza Strip."

"Joe's rookie reporter status was evident when, standing in front of a pile of spent rockets, he said, "I have thousands of questions but I can't think of the right one."

What he could summon up quickly was contempt for Israel's critics, who are outraged by the more than 870 Palestinians killed in Israel's bruising air and ground onslaught against Gaza's Islamic militant Hamas rulers. Thirteen Israelis have also died since the operation began, including four killed by the rocket fire that touched off the war in the first place.

"Why hasn't Israel acted sooner?" Wurzelbacher asked. "I know if I were a citizen here, I'd be damned upset. He described himself as a peaceloving man, but added, "when someone hits me, I'm going to unload on the boy. And if the rest of the world doesn't understand that, then I'm sorry."

Wurzelbacher, who underwent intense media scrutiny during his 15 minutes of campaign fame, said pjtv enlisted him to cover Israel because he's an expert on media bias.

"I was on the short end of the stick, like Israel is now," he said."

5. Think he he might have a future in this ?

and just think if anyone's toilet gets plugged, and all things considered I could see that happening more frequently lots of feces being excreted here, well Joe could be a handy guy to have around.

6. Someone needs to tell Joe...

that the military is still recruiting, and they've even lowered their standards (several times, actually) and I'm sure they'd be happy to have Joe the Plumber in combat somewhere, doing guard duty, etc...instead of just bloviating about what a great patriot he is.

7. I can't wait for Fox to pick this guy up. He'll be a perfect (mis)fit

Maybe he could even get to sit next to Ann Coulter and stroke his bald noggin.
