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.

Anyone looking for a reporter to cover for Joe when he returns, please let me know. I'm available for extended periods.

Joe the Plumber Must Die.

I picked up the following story from Mary at Freedom Eden, linked below.


Barack Obama supporter Karel, a weekend radio host on San Francisco's KGO-AM, had one of those unfortunate open mic incidents.

Remember when a mic picked up Jesse Jackson saying that he wanted to castrate Obama?

Of course you do.

Anyway, on KGO, during an ABC newsbreak, there was a sound bite with John McCain mentioning Joe the Plumber.

In the background, supposedly out of earshot, Karel (aka Charles Karel Bouley) can be heard shouting about Joe.

Transcript

KAREL: F--- G-- damn Joe the G-- damn m-----f---ing Plumber. I want m-----f---ing Joe the Plumber dead.

That's harsh.

If you don't think so, I think you've got a problem.

Hear the audio.
