Linkage. Why?

Quote :

(CNN) – ‘Joe the Plumber’ Wurzelbacher told a group of journalists covering the conflict in Israel and Gaza that he didn’t think the media should be allowed to report on war.

“I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting,” Wurzelbacher said. “You know, war is hell. And if you’re gonna sit there and say, ‘well, look at this atrocity,’ well you don’t know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it.”

Wurzelbacher arrived in Israel on Sunday to start a 10-day assignment for pjtv.com, a Web site run by the conservative media outlet Pajamas Media. The plumber-turned-foreign correspondent said he wanted to cover Israel’s side of the conflict, because he thought the media was slanting the story to make it look like “Israel’s being bad.”

In his first day as a reporter, Wurzelbacher described the hardships of daily life in the southern Israeli town of Sderot.

“I’m sure they’re taking quick showers, I know I would,” Wurzelbacher said. “So you can’t plan your day, you can’t take a picnic.“

Who is this Joe The Plumber, anyway...?

More like "Joseff" because Wurelbacher sounds like a German name!

No, I mean why would anyone hire him to be a war correspondent? The guy can hardly speak English.

Obviously to appeal to the ignorant fear-monger demographic. Judging by the recent election, they're a considerable force.

Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher was a kind of political puppet used by John McCain during the USA Elections too much hilarity and egg on fact for McCain and Palin.

The link I provided for me proves the ignorance of the man, he did more harm than good to the Republican campaign. The interviewer is known for his leaning to the right of the political line but even he is appalled by what Joe is saying. I suppose the best we can hope for is that not many will take this fool seriously.

... I hate politics.
