Joe the Plumber was the only guy out on the campaign trail who had the guts to ask a BHO a tough question.

For that reason alone he will make a far superior reporter than the rest of the brown nosing sycophants in the press corp.

Joe, ask a UN representative why they use their schools as Hamas ammo dumps.

Give the MSM scum 24 hours to start whining that he doesn’t have a master’s degree in journalism.

for a conservative Web site called pjtv.com.

AP would never report that such and such "took a job for a liberal television network call the National Broadcasting Company."

JOE: "Your plan to kill all the infidels is going to cost me more, right?"

TERRORIST "I just think that when you spread the blood of the Jews around it's good for everybody".

Joe is ex-military. He has a “masters” in not getting his butt shot off. Don’t know his MOS, but he seems to be cool under fire.

Way to go Joe! :-)

Fox news should have hired him....if they had, I’d be watching more often.

More interested if he has the ability to speak, write, investigate, analyze.

Anyone can blovate. Hopefully, he won’t be one who does, too.

Are the MSM now going to complain that Joe is not credentialed with an accredited news agency?

Show me someone on the New York Times payroll that has the ability to write, investigate and especially analyze?

They have all become “social engineers” for the terrorist camps instead of reporters!
