Joe the...War Correspondent?
Welcome to the twilight zone - Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher is being sent by a conservative media outlet to cover the Israeli war on Gaza.
Seriously.
Seriously.
If the novel thing weren't bad enough, we'll now get his take on the whole situation as if he were a reporter. In this day and age, where people love to blame "the media" for being so bad at coverage, while at the same time elevating the "citizen reporter" blogger to new and undeserved heights, conservative zealots somehow think their token working guy can legitimately and insightfully cover this complex and tragic situation.
Cringe, journalists, cringe.

Seriously.
The famous plumber will be focusing on the Israeli perspective on the situation. "It's tragic, I mean it really is,” Wurzelbacher told CNN affiliate WNWO “I don't say that in any little way. It's very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people supposed to do.”
Seriously.
