One Plumb Job

Here's a guy with a dream job, a working vacation most of us would grab in a flash.

Joe the Plumber is taking on a new job.

Associated Press. 07/01/2009

The Ohio man, who became famous during the U.S. presidential campaign after asking Barack Obama about his tax plan, is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for a conservative Web site called pjtv.com.

Dubbed Joe the Plumber by McCain's campaign, Samuel Joe Wurzelbacher was held up as an example of an American worker who would be hurt economically by Obama's election.

Wurzelbacher says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting and explaining why Israeli forces are mounting attacks against Hamas.

He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants go over there and let their 'Average Joes' share their story.

Alright, I'll work for cheap.

Now, let them offers flow in like the ever-rising seas washing away Bangladesh in the monsoon season. Don't worry about the flooding, I have the name of a good plumber.
