e've seen the mainstream media afflicted with Palin Derangement Syndrome. We've experienced the media in the throes of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Over at CNN, which modestly styles itself as the most trusted name in news, there's now an outbreak of Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome.
Last week CNN Newsroom anchor Kyra Phillips went after Joe. Today, it was CNN Newsroom anchor Rick Sanchez's turn at bat. Mustering as much blow-dried earnestness as possible, he relieved himself of an editorial on what's nominally a news program:
Meanwhile, something else to take note of today. I want to share with you the thoughts of Samuel Wurzelbacher -- you know, "Joe the Plumber" -- now Joe the war correspondent. Yes, he's been in Israel filing reports.

Jealous.
It’s not hard to be a TV reporter, if all you intend to do is report. It’s the propaganda that gets tricky.
You go Joe.
Stop calling them “reporters”. They are “teleprompter readers” with a few exceptions, such as Greta Van Susteren actually going up to Alaska to do some reporting on Sarah Palin.
JTPDS, as Michelle Malkin dubbed this phenomenon.
And here, I thought it was the Bamister that made Joe famous.
Cry me a river, why don’t you, sanchez.
Sanchez was a turd when he worked in Miami and a turd now. I’ve always wondered how he got off Scot free on a DWI/bodily injury/leaving the scene beef when he was down here....I guess it pays to have buddies in the courthouse and the cophouse.
Rick Sanchez is a total assmunch and if Joe is tweaking him then GOOD! Because if it’s upsetting to that stuffed shirt, Sanchez, then it must be good for America.
No I think it's Envy, probably the blackest of all sins. Joe has the credibility that they have squandered.
“there’s now an outbreak of Joe the Plumber Derangement Syndrome”
What do you mean “now”? JtPDS broke out the moment he became a national celebrity.
I don’t think Joe has killed anyone.
The MSM gleefully reported on JTP owing Income taxes
America’s Overnight Sensation Joe the Plumber Owes $1,200 in Taxes

Then comes the story:
Obama’s cabinet pick didn’t pay 4 years of taxes.

Accordinig to the MSM this was “just an honest mistake.”
These people ae morons
Dallas Mourning Snooze editorial today said the Treasury pick is the right man for the job and that back tax thing, its nothing important in this time of crisis when we need him.
If you can read the DNC website, you’re a member of the obamedia.
Pray for W, Israel and Our Troops
I guess being trained as a plumber by the USAF doesn’t count or did CNN just not bother to look that up? and I guess decades of service to this country doesn’t count either when it comes to respect?
How dare this reporter be so snide as to call Joe “Samuel”. Only someone with an obvious lack of breeding would insist on using Joe’s first name when it’s perfectly clear Joe doesn’t use his first name. How rude and petty.
kiss off, CNN, find a way to increase your pitiful ratings by picking on someone who’s NOT a veteran.
sue the pants off ‘em, Joe!!! Take ‘em to the cleaners!! This character assassination of middle class working people and veterans by rabid urbanite elitists needs to stop!
Rick Sanchez better known as Rick Snatchez was a channel 7 reporter in South Florida prior to moving up to Washington. His job at the time was to sensationalize the news, especially hurricane coverage. I see Ricky taken his act to the Clueless News Network and has transformed himself into a big dope.
