Not A Joke
There is a war going on in Gaza. Everyone is wondering if Israel and Palestine can get on the road to a peaceful agreement. Children are dying. What is America's response? Send in Joe the Plumber.
If Israelis and Palestinians are fortunate enough not to be familiar with the unlicensed drain snaker, then they probably don't understand how insulting it is to have him "report" on their lives. Joe is now advocating for the end of war reporting. Seriously.

Hey, it's a fact: none of those atrocities would exist if we didn't know about them.
Samuel speweth: '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 the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them'.
So, not only did Joe claim to be a plumber, he claims to have been alive during the World Wars. No wonder he forgot to pay his taxes - he's at least 110 years old!
The Daily Show covered this story the other night. The best part was when he [JtP] was asked about what he was doing to ensure his personal safety. His reply was something like, "Well, I'm a Christian so God will protect me." Stewart's response was pure gold. He suggested Joe repeat that statement over and over while there, put it on a shirt.
