Nothing like a true American hero to support Israel's cleansing of Gaza! :sarcasm:

Joe the plumber headed to Middle East

January 7, 2009

(CNN) – Joe Wurzelbacher: Plumber. Campaign celebrity. Foreign correspondent?

‘Joe the Plumber’ is headed overseas to try his hand at covering the conflict in Gaza, Wurzelbacher’s publicist Thomas Tabback confirmed to CNN Wednesday.

Wurzelbacher plans to spend 10 days in Israel reporting on the conflict for pjtv.com, a Web site run by conservative media outlet Pajamas Media.

The famous plumber will be focusing on the Israeli perspective on the situation. "It's tragic, I mean it really is,” Wurzelbacher told CNN affiliate WNWO “I don't say that in any little way. It's very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people supposed to do.”

Wurzelbacher told WNWO he’s not worried about the potential dangers of his new gig. "Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe. That's not saying he's going to stop a mortar for me, but you gotta take the chance,” he told the CNN affiliate.

“Israeli officials are very excited to have him,” Tabback told CNN.

3. Having just recently

been accepted to the Edward R. Murrow School of Journalism I can truthfully say, Joe Wurzelbacher isn't qualified to wipe the sweat off of a journalist during wartime.

Hey Joe, there are things out there that can hurt and I don't mean dropping a pipe wrench on your toe hurt.

4. Open Plea to Hamas: Do not accept a ceasefire before Joe the Plumber arrives in Israel

Dear Hamas,

Allow us to restate that we deplore your actions, which have harmed both Palestinians and Israelis. However, it has come to our attention that Joe the Plumber is headed to the Middle East, to cover the war for WNWO-TV in Toledo. And while we are not technically asking you to kill Joe the Plumber (that's illegal!), we are encouraging you to reject a ceasefire until at least three rockets are fired in his direction. He's easy to spot. He literally has a skinhead, and he'll be surrounded by Israelis who will be asking themselves, "it's come to this? Israel's security is dependent on the editorial skills of Joe the Plumber?"

Thanks and pbuh,

'Israeli officials are very excited to have him,” Tabback told CNN.'

Yes, the entire world can imagine no greater thrill than having Joe the Plumber around.
