Joe the (Plumber) War Correspondent?


I guess his much hoped for singing career didn't pan out but that's not stopping Joe the Plumber.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher has a new gig. He's a Middle East war correspondent for an uber-right web site, Pajama TV (http://www.pjtv.com/).

Wurzelbacher became a highly favoured lawn ornament during the McCain campaign last fall. At one rally, Joe agreed with a supporter who said that a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.

I wonder if PJTV got a package deal to have Joe fix the loo while he's at it?

MoS, we had this conversation before. Liblog is using a dangerous censorship sword. What do you think?

Hey LD, I've got a nagging feeling that you're right. What is perhaps most troubling is the number of bloggers who think aerial bombardment of densely populated areas is alright. I suppose they also found Israeli's flood of cluster bombs in southern Lebanon just fine too. The sort of aerial bombs that can bring down a wing of a university or destroy a target house and every house surrounding it are intended for combat in the field. They're area weapons and, used in a densely populated neighbourhood, they're weapons of terror.

Curiously while so many disagree with my view, no one has the slightest interest in justifying the use of these particular weapons in Gaza. I think they're happier with "out of sight/out of mind." It makes me wonder just what kind of weapon they would find excessive but I'm getting the feeling that they're okay with anything short of nukes.
