Joe The Plumber To Become War Correspondent

TOLEDO, Ohio — 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.

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.

The conservatives sure must be hard up getting proper journalists. He wasn't a licensed plumber either.

Well the liberals had Sean Penn playing reporter in Venezuela, so why not Joe the Plumber?

Sean Penn, at the very least, is a better actor than Reagan.

This is absolutely hilarious. I doubt we will see any news by Joe coming out of Israel because he isn't intelligent enough to find Israel on a map.

[GeoLee]

His Bible probably has maps.

Genuine reporters/journalists must be in very short supply in Toledo, Ohio.

[hapiguy]

Plunger please!

[Mahi Joe]

If anyone can flush a story out of people it is Joe!

[Blomkvist]

... and I can't get a job in media with an Ivy League degree. Hmmmm.

[TwentyCharactersLong]

That's because you're not "real" enough, you betcha!

Joe the Phoney. Joe the Poseur. Joe the Gasbag. Joe the Who gives a shi'ite.

Joe the Plumber is the Kato Kalin of the political world, and even Levi Johnson is slightly more interesting, as long as we're going to the D-list.
