Joe the Plumber to head to Israel as a war correspondent

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28542733/

Okay what is the deal? He is getting more than his fifteen minutes of fame. It's disgusting.

Especially since he doesn't, and probably never will, make that $250,000...

Not only is he becoming a war correspondent, but he is also writing a book! I can't imagine what he could possibly have to write about quite frankly.

He'll get sponsorships with Cialis, NASCAR, Phillip Morris and CMT...

Hayle, Joe the Plumbers gotta eat, too!

@bolded

It will be a good book, soft cover, lots of mazes, connect the dots, paint by numbers, large print with butterflies and ladybugs...

^^^ LOL! Don't you mean color by number? Po' folks in da Park (aka mobile homes) can't 'fford no paint. Crayons are less than a dollar.

My question is who is going to be his ghost thinker/writer? He'll need both badly.

And yet another issue I had with him. Since he wasn't making anywhere near that amount of money, why was he even asking Obama about that anyway? He never planned to vote for Obama (no surprise there), but yet he felt the need to try and put Obama on the spot about an issue that really didn't even apply to him or affect him.

Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin are equals to me. They said and did what they were told to do by the republican party leaders/ JMac campaign heads. They clearly do not think for themselves.

Joe the Plumber is probably going over there for a new reality TV series based on 24 like Jack Bauer with a "war correspondent"... Hope he has a good detail...

I'm pretty sure no one says America isn't dumb, since over half our population can't find Iraq on a map and I just watched a guy be stumped for 3 minutes over whose picture is on the $1 bill.
