Joe the Plumber to become war correspondent in Israel for conservative Web site

TOLEDO, Ohio - Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.

The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for the conservative Web site pjtv.com.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (WUR'-zuhl-bah-kur) says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting.

He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."

Wurzelbacher gained attention during the final weeks of the campaign when he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan.

He later joined Republican John McCain on the campaign trail. At one stop, he agreed with a McCain supporter who asked if he believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.

Good stuff. Hope he doesn't get hit by a stray Hamas missile

Couldn't stop laughing when I heard that. Joe the reporting plumber.

Hope he pays taxes on those earnings

Hope he doesn't stray into Gaza while blowing off the Israelis like he did McCain on the campaign trail. He may end up getting killed like some real journalists have by IDF... or by a rocket attack from nutty Hamassies if he does try to be a plumber inside Israel.

Good. We need more people who love freedom reporting the news from that region. So far the media seems like it has become inundated by Blame America First liberals who sleep with terrorists.

Wow this guy is a ####### isn't he.

Clearly Joe has a publicist who is keeping his name in the local news until the book comes out.

Good luck Joe.

BTW - Harpercollins has just paid $2.2 million in advance money for Steve Tyler's autobiography. Its gonna tank... Joe's hardly going to do better.

Joe's second book will be all about resporting in Israel. NYT bestseller.

Local celebrity status is what he seems to be going for. I doubt he'll make the NYT bestseller list.

I bet you he'll be on Big Brother, or one of those reality shows before long.

Locally Joe is considered a joke.

Locally Joe is considered a joke.

Globally too...at least among those who use their head(s) for more than a hat rack.

No offense intended toward any hat racks.

i hope he gets his ####### and ball knocked off (plumber humor)

Joe said he felt dirty being involved with mccains campaign. I wonder if he feels the same about his media whoring. Presumably it pays well, enough that Joe probably won't bother with his plumbing business for a while.
