Samuel Wurzelbacher of Ohio, aka Joe the Plumber, arrived in Sderot at noon Sunday to show local and foreign reporters how to do it right.

“You should be ashamed of yourself,” he told foreign reporters.

“You should be patriotic, protect your family and children, not report like you have been doing for the past two weeks since this war has started,” he said.

Wurzelbacher, the man who stole the limelight from Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the American election campaign, has found a new job - as a correspondent for the Internet Web sites PJTV and Pajamas Media.

Armed with a camera and a temporary Government Press Office card, he got a taste of reality in Sderot, visiting a house hit by a Kassam rocket two weeks ago and experiencing a “Code Red” alert first-hand. He also observed and reported from the house where a Kassam landed on Sunday afternoon.

…”Do you think this is normal, the way you cover this conflict and give away information to your enemy?” he asked the journalists that gathered around him.

“It makes me sick to see the way you behave - you guys need to be protective of your homes, your children, your family.”

“I am angry,” he said, “and this is why I came here.”

It takes a conservative rookie reporter to shine light on the truth in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Screw the liberal media. They have no honor or integrity. No wonder CNN was butt-humped by a fake pro-Hamas video.

TOLEDO, Ohio: Joe the Plumber is taking on a new job.

The Ohio man, who became famous during the U.S. presidential campaign after asking Barack Obama about his tax plan, is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for a conservative Web site called pjtv.com.

Dubbed “Joe the Plumber” by McCain’s campaign, Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher was held up as an example of an American worker who would be hurt economically by Obama’s election.

Wurzelbacher says he’ll spend 10 days covering the fighting and explaining why Israeli forces are mounting attacks against Hamas.

He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants “go over there and let their ‘Average Joes’ share their story.”

Wurzelbacher later joined Republican John McCain on the campaign trail.

At one stop, Wurzelbacher agreed with a McCain supporter who asked if he believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.

Good luck, Joe!

Joe will be a correspondent for Pajamas Media (PJTV).

Michelle Malkin is predicting that the leftist blogosphere will start wishing death on Joe. I bet Daily Kos will be the first.

CINCINNATI – An Ohio agency director resigned Wednesday in the wake of a finding that she improperly used state computers to access personal information on the man who became known as “Joe the Plumber” during the presidential campaign.

Two other officials who were suspended from their positions for their role in the computer search will not be returning to their jobs, an agency spokeswoman said.

Department of Job and Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley said in a statement accompanying her resignation that she won’t allow her reputation to be disparaged and that she is concerned for her family’s safety.

“This decision comes after a time of pause, in which I realize that I continue to be used as a political postscript, providing a distraction from urgent state priorities,” she said in her statement.

She could not be reached for additional comment Wednesday night.

Gov. Ted Strickland suspended Jones-Kelley for a month without pay after the Ohio Inspector General’s office found in November that she improperly used state computers to find personal information on Samuel Wurzelbacher. The investigation also found that she conducted improper political fund-raising activity for now President-elect Barack Obama.

“The governor values Helen Jones-Kelley’s years of public service as a dedicated advocate for the most vulnerable among us,” Strickland’s spokesman Keith Dailey said Wednesday. “He understands her decision and accepts her resignation.”

Investigators could not confirm that Jones-Kelley accessed the records of Wurzelbacher with political gain in mind. His report did indicate that she had used her personal Blackberry to send the Obama fundraising requests — though it was synched up to state equipment.

Wurzelbacher, a Toledo-area plumber who questioned Obama about his tax plan, was dubbed “Joe the Plumber” by Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Two top-level members of Jones-Kelley’s staff also will be leaving the department, said agency spokeswoman Scarlett Bouder.

Fred Williams, the department’s assistant director, will resign effective Jan. 31 and the agency is revoking Doug Thompson’s position as deputy director of child support effective Dec. 22, she said.

Both had been suspended from their positions after being implicated in the computer records search.

Ohio lawmakers are expected to pass a bill Thursday that requires state agencies to determine proper circumstances for records to be checked and to authorize only specific individuals to perform those checks.

Jones-Kelly lost her job and two of her top-level staff members were fired, so there is some form of justice for Joe the Plumber.

I still hope that Joe files at least a civil lawsuit.

My septic tank blew up last night! I had to stay at a local hotel. I came back this morning to my apartment, and the stench was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Danny the Plumber from Mr. Rooter was able to fix my septic tank. He found baby wipes clogging the drain pipe. What the hell? I do not have any kids.

I was able to clean one of my bathrooms. I will clean the other bathroom as soon as I go buy some more Clorox bleach.

I will have to hire someone to rip out the carpeting that was damaged by the septic tank water.

I will post pictures later on today of Danny the Plumber and the disgusting aftermath left by the septic tank. First, I have to figure out how to decrease the size of the pictures I took.

More to come. Stay tuned…

UPDATE 1: Well, there goes $150.00 down the drain!

Hopefully, I will be able to blog today. I am super tired.

UPDATE 2: Danny the Plumber.

I am debating with myself whether or not to post the “aftermath” pictures. Perhaps I will post them later on today.

UPDATE 3: And the disgusting, horrible aftermath.

If I ruined your breakfast, sorry.

Barack Obama: I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.

Alright Barack, how about you giving me a 90% cut of your book royalties? Maybe you can get your buddy, Tony Rezko, to hook me up with an illegal land deal. Or, you can funnel questionable foreign campaign contributions to my secret Swiss bank account. Come on, Barack. Your campaign has raised over $400 million in contributions, you can afford to siphon off some money to me, just like Joe Biden siphoned off $2 million in campaign cash to his family.

This blog is approved by Joe the Plumber.

Apparently, "Joe The Plumber" doesn’t have a plumbing license. How do I know this? Because MSNBC says he doesn’t in this article.

Does it matter that Joe doesn’t have a license? Well, not really… since he actually works for someone that does has a license which is all that is legally required. But did that stop the MSM from presenting the headline as if it were some kind of "October Surprise" against… Joe the Plumber who isn’t running for president? Of course not!

This is coming from the same media that fails regularly to criticize Obama and his constant lies, gaffs, and associations. So while they won’t question a man running for the office of "leader of the free world," they will question Joe the Plumber and his ability to fix your water heater.

We couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried.

 

"[Obama's Wealth Redistribution] ‘it infuriates me.’ If you worked for it… it’s not right for someone to say you earned ‘too much’."

Here’s the full video of Obama’s now infamous exchange with Mr. Worzelbacher:

At about 3:50 in this video, Obama speaks of his take on the "fairtax" idea. It’s obvious that he knows nothing about it. But all in all, Obama basically tells Joe why the Government is more deserving of his hard earned money than he is.

On a less serious note:
