Joe the Plumber to become Israeli War correspondent???

[Cyrano]

Just picked this tidbit up from the Huffington Post.

Hasn't anyone told this man that he's using up someone else's 15 minutes? Hasn't anyone explained to him that he's become a punch line? Hasn't anyone told him to just go away?

Evidently, some wingnut blog is footing the bill to send him there as a "correspondent." One can only wonder if the destination on his ticket is Gaza International Airport.

It's time to take pity on this poor idiot and give him his own TV reality show. How about something like: "Extending Your 15 Minutes for Fun and Profit.

3. ...he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."

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."
