Joe the Plumber Now Joe the Journalist

Call him either "Joe the Journalist," or "Joe the War Correspondent."

He is, according to reports, going to spend 10 days there. He says he intends to get the often-lost, he says, Israel reason behind the offensive against Hamas.

He told WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story." I can't believe the guy saying that he's doing his civic duty. Please, he's trying to extend to 15 minutes of fame, which have way been used up, to make some money.

If he hadn't been picked up on by John McCain in a last-ditch effort, he would simply be an unlicensed plumber who would, in reality, do better under the Obama tax plan.

However, Wurzelbacher played his time with McCain for all he was worth. And more. At one campaign stop, he agreed with a different McCain supporter who asked if he believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.

As if Wurzelbacher is a knowledgeable international affairs or political analyst.
