"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.

Wurzelbacher, the man who stole the limelight from Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the American election campaign, has found a new job - as a correspondent for the Internet Web sites PJTV and Pajamas Media.

Armed with a camera and a temporary Government Press Office card, he got a taste of reality in Sderot, visiting a house hit by a Kassam rocket two weeks ago and experiencing a "Code Red" alert first-hand. He also observed and reported from the house where a Kassam landed on Sunday afternoon.

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."

Apologies to all actual plumbers...of which Joe wasn't

Or maybe "Presumption"?

An M-16, that is.

I know, it's not a pleasant thought but given how many sad vets actually have done this and never got a speck of attention, while this asshole gets press, I don't feel that awful about suggesting it.

and if he won't, he needs to be confronted as to why. On Edit: I meant to find out what their lives are like, not to unload on them.

This is the mindset that we're dealing with though. These are the people who consistently vote Republican in spite of all sane evidence that it does nothing for them.

Can anyone go over to Israel and make blanket statements about the foreign press, about American political
matters? He's castigating the foreign press for their coverage of this war? He's upset because people are
reporting the truth about the hundreds of innocents in Gaza who are being slaughtered?

Jeez. This is utterly unbelievable.

You know what is the most dangerous about this...is the impression that the world will get of the United
States, because that dunderhead is over there, wearing his ignorance all over him.

Plumber sounds like an exaggerated American stereotype that most people hate--violent, cocky, warmongering.

How in the world does this happen?

being catapulted by the long arms of the RNC. Need I say more?:(

What a fucking douche bag.

He's just an ongoing embarrassment for the Redumblican party.

Hell, they might even erase those tax debts you have, big boy!

:rofl:

Can you imagine? We'd have Joe the Plumber with us 24/7. :scared:

Seriously. C'mon fucking guy.

Totally ruins my day! :sarcasm:

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

and I SOOOOO hope Joe finds his.

Seriously I figured that out when I was....oh my second shower I would guess

the McC gift that keeps on giving.

to report on a very serious subject.

taking quick showers? What a fool.

Why do we even care what this buffoon says?

HE's not even a real plumber!

:sarcasm: (Yeah? Do I even need it?)
