Plumber Says He's 'Expert On Media Bias'
'Joe The Plumber' Turns Reporter

POSTED: 5:23 pm EST January 11, 2009

SDEROT, Israel -- America's most famous plumber has traded in his wrench for a reporter's notebook as he covers Israel's Gaza offensive.

Samuel Wurzelbacher, who shot to fame during the presidential campaign, is now a rookie war correspondent covering Israel's side of the conflict.

Wurzelbacher was in the southern Israeli town of Sderot Sunday to tell readers of the conservative pjtv.com Web site about the rockets that rain down from the neighboring Gaza Strip.

Wurzelbacher said that the people of Sderot "can't do normal things day to day" for fear of rockets, adding "I'm sure they're taking quick showers."

He expressed contempt for Israel's critics, and wondered why Israel hasn't acted sooner in responding to Hamas militants.

Wurzelbacher underwent intense media scrutiny during the campaign after asking then.-Sen. Barack Obama about his tax plan. He said he was enlisted to cover Israel because he's "an expert on media bias." :wtf:

2. at this point the guy is such a joke
I can't even get pissed at him. He's not even an expert at wrangling turds let alone anything else. This guy thinks Palin is the real deal, lol. He's a genius alright.

6. He is still around because people keep talking about him.
If you like him, then keep talking.

If you don't like him, don't give him power.
