By now many of you have heard that Joe the Plumber Wurzelbacher is leaving for Israel tomorrow to be a war correspondent for Pajamas TV. This has created quite a brouhaha in the media - cable television, newspapers, wire services, etc. Everyone from CNN to gawker.com has something to say about Joe heading for the Middle East. He will appear on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning before his departure.
To be honest, some (maybe much) of this reportage is pretty snotty. Nora ODonnell of MSNBC - herself a MA in international relations, lahdeedah - fairly frothed at the mouth at the prospect of the unqualified Joe having the temerity to report news in a foreign land. Those hipoisie over at Gawker werent too charitable either....

Go Joe!!!!
Carry the torch of the average guy who dares actually CHALLENGE the Left who have been untouched by the MSM for 30+ years.
Chrissyspitty Mathews sputtered that it was an outrage!
ha ha ha ha
I thinks this is a simply splendid idea.
Joe, we will watch and read ALL of your reports. Can’t wait for them.
This is such great news in an otherwise bleak period. Joe the Plumber seems to have a good grasp on things and expresses himself well. Given a little experience I think he will show the so-called “experts” just how good and average “Joe” (no pun intended, it just happened!) can outshine the pros.
GO JOE! We’re looking forward to some TRUTHFUL reporting for a change.
He is better than McCain and certainly better than Obama (whose Communism he exposed).
GO JO GO! Get-er-done!

Don’t you know those other reporters will be livid with rage. At least Joe will be reporting the TRUTH.
Dear Joe the Plummber,
May God bless and keep you, in your travels.
I certainly will be watching you.
On CNN Kara Philips did a promo for it and she said, “say it ain’t so JOe” and a bunch of other stuff.
From what she said I thought he was going over there to solve the crisis. That is how they made it sound.
Bastards. They think they are so much better than us.
I'm proud of my fellow Ohioan, Joe the Plumber! :-)
I’m old enough to be his mom, but I think Joe is pretty hot.
Speaking of McCain....did anybody else get an email from him about some grassroots coalition he’s forming? I don’t remember the name of it and I must have deleted the email.
I am impressed with Joe’s thought process.
He is one of us, as opposed to being one of THEM.
I’m not young either, but you can acquire wisdom with age. It is not assured, but you cannot acquire it easily in your youth. Experience allows that.
I forgot! Go Joe!!! You’re the only reporter I’d believe at this point.
The COMMON MAN is the answer to the MEDIA ELITE.
Next up: the COMMON MAN is also the answer to a “government” that has come to believe it is ROYALTY.
Go, Joe! Truth without fear!
Blitzer rolled his eyes and said “ I’m not making this up. “
Yep.... Joe...rings a bell with me.
Tell McLaim to go pound sand.
Tell Bill Kristol to pound more sand....
Blitzer is an effete little twerp.
What the heck?! That doesn't even make sense. I don't know if Phillips writes her own copy or not, but even the writing -- let alone the actual content -- on CNN is awful.
You feel better now?
