I was ignoring the story of the wingnut Pajamas Media sending Joe “the Plumber” to Israel to be some new “war correspondent”. Let’s face it – you can send anyone to a situation and get whatever spin you want out of it, and old Joe the Plumber Liar is no different.

But now that has changed. He had to open his mouth and make another one of his idiotic comments:

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war. I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what’s happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I think it’s asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you’d go to the theater and you’d see your troops on, you know, the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for’em. Now everyone’s got an opinion and wants to downer–and down soldiers. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.

{[}]lt;strong>I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell. And if you’re gonna sit there and say, “Well look at this atrocity,” well you don’t know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it.

Now I am wondering why I see Joe there, a younger guy who looks rather fit, and yet he can sit there and blast the media and everyone who is against the wars, but yet he hasn’t had the nerve to put the uniform on himself and serve. Why don’t someone ask old Joe that question.

Oh but wait. We aren’t allowed to question Joe. That’s unfair. The right will start circling the wagons around the poor, frail faux-plumber. He’s just a private citizen with a publicity agent and trying to get record and book deals.
