we need investigative journalism, not plumber journalism.....
Very close. I was punched only once by a gang of Polish plumbers, at which point they informed me they'd be back next tuesday to finish the job.
Two months after publicly agreeing with a McCain supporter that a vote for Mr Obama was a vote for the death of Israel, he says he will spend 10 days covering the Gaza conflict from the Israelis' point of view.
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.
Yes, I'm racist.
As a soldier, I would hate to have a bozo like him underfoot in the danger zone.
Yes, he's going to do color interviews with the residents, most likely. Take in some of the local scenery and tourist sights. Rediscover his spiritual center. Declare for Congress in 2010. Where's my million dollars!

To be fair, a lot of the attention they're getting is from the left, who really enjoy laughing at them. I think this tread demonstrates that phenomenon.Between the Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber phenomena, is the far-right's descent into self-parody now complete?
More Extra Stupid from Joe the Unlicensed War Correspondent:
Says that media, you know, should now be allowed to report on wars. This was the, you know, centerpiece of John McCain's awesome presidential campaign in itsdeath throesfinal weeks. More or less embarrassing than Sarah Palin? Vote now!
I love the irony of a man who accused Obama of, essentially, being a socialist...calling for what amounts to censorship. He' like a good old fashioned Soviet-style (or, dare one suggest Goebles-style?) propoganda campaign in stead of news reporting. Demonstrating, of course, the the populist conservative is reactionary in the very best/worst tradition of the word... What a tool, a plumbing tool that is.
JtP didn't accuse Obama of anything. He asked Obama a question and Obama obliged with an answer that included that darling passage. The msm then crucified JtP for having the temerity to ask a simple, but turned out to be revealing, question of their candidate.
