TheJOTUS

No, really.

Joe the Plumber (Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) first came into our lives during the campaign when he dared question B. Hussein Obama’s philosophy on redistributionism.  But alas, not even Joe could slow down the political machine that is Barack Obama.

In January, after apparently laying low since the election, he went to work as a Pajamas Media reporter on the war.  Upon arriving, he wasted no time in telling the media in Sderot on how to do a job he himself has never done:

“You should be ashamed of yourself,” he told foreign reporters.

“You should be patriotic, protect your family and children, not report like you have been doing for the past two weeks since this war has started,” he said.

The people of Sderot “can’t do normal things day to day,” like get soap in their eyes in the shower, for fear a rocket might come in, Wurzelbacher said. “I’m sure they’re taking quick showers. I know I would.”

He also wondered why Israel waited so long to act. “I know if I were a citizen here, I’d be damned upset.” He described himself as a “peaceloving man,” but added, “when someone hits me, I’m going to unload on the boy. And if the rest of the world doesn’t understand that, then I’m sorry.”

So maybe not so much a reporter, like reporting objectively, but more like a cheerleader.  Similar to the main stream media, who is pro-hamas, our dear Joe’s bias is pro-Israel.  And that is fine, I am too.  But let’s not go down the same road the MSM does in picking sides instead of reporting fairly.  Or lecturing.  Bottom line Joe, stick to plumbing.

Or……you could write a book instead! 

Since Israel and the I-hate-Israel-crowd are getting along now……ahem……Joe has decided to try his hand at writing with his new book:  Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream (actually it was published in December, but let’s not focus on the wrong part of the story).

Ahh yes, the American dream.  The dream where you stumble into the white hot media spotlight, on a national stage, and then milk it for everything you can.  Just like this person, and this person and this person again.  Not to mention the uber lucrative American dream of smoking your entire life and then suing the tobacco company when you – gasp – are diagnosed with cancer.

Oh, and don’t forget the new American dream where you take out a huge mortgage, one completely beyond your means, and then getting the sucker taxpayer to pay for it.

But I shouldn’t really hate on JTP.  He was thrust into the spotlight by merely asking a question of TheOne during the campaign.  Subsequently, he had his tax records, his voter registration, his professional licensing, his divorce – his entire life –  exposed for all to see.

So maybe I can hit the snooze button once on Joe’s 15 minutes of fame clock.
