This is about as dissonant an image as Christiane Amanpour snaking your toilet (sans license). There’s so much wrong taking place here that the futility of a response is debatable. Alas, Joe Wurzelbacher, well beyond his fifteen minutes of fame as “Joe the Plumber”, covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has the same irresistible absurdity as Sarah Palin defending her foreign policy experience.
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war. (says the aspiring war correspondent with grammatical perfection). 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. (because wars are so not a big deal) I think it’s asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II (oh good god he’s immortal) when you’d go to the theater (ah yes, the talkies) 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. (there’s no one I’m more down on than the 18 year old Army Private and how he waged an illegitimate war for oil profit undermining the Constitution to usurp Executive power… kids these days.) You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.(but not the Palestinian ones)
I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting (wow!!). 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 where was I…ah yes reporting on the atrocities of war and opining on an ill-informed fraction of the story.”
Joe, you’ve exhausted my full range of sarcasm. It’s only a matter of time until my head explodes,
