LOGAN, UTAH Forever a part of American electoral history, Joe Wurzelbacher--better known as "Joe the Plumber"--is hitting back at the media for its coverage of him over the past year, telling Editor & Publisher the reporting has been "poorly done."

In a wide-ranging interview with E&P, Wurzelbacher also shared his thoughts on Sarah Palin (he hopes she doesn't run for president in 2012), Palin's references to him in her new book, and the charge that he has capitalized off the publicity that has come with being Joe the Plumber. He also called President Obama's ideology "unAmerican."

1. If there was a law against stupidity, he and Palin would be locked up for life.

Why the FUCK does the media give them any exposure? Sure, I can see FOX doing it, that's their mandate, but why do legitimate news sources give them exposure? :shrug:

4. Hopefully locked up together.

5. Hey, I can't stand Joe, but that is simply cruel and wouldn't hold up in court.

Ya Betcha!

6. Maybe because Editor & Publisher is owned by the Carlyle Group

a.k.a. the corporate acquisitions branch of the Bush Crime Family.

2. Any media is still paying attention to anything this guy has to say?

Again? how did this guy become a spokesperson for anything. He asked a question and now the media acts like he is some kind of go to guy.
