You know, now that I think about it, this does have kind of a Dada symmetry to it. A man called Joe the Plumber, whose name is not Joe and who is not a licensed plumber, becomes famous for asking a question about a situation that doesn't actually pertain to him. He then becomes a "war correspondent" that decries the actions of war correspondents when the report on war.
Ahhhhhh. Pounding my head against the wall DID help.
I believe the word you are looking for is actually "target". This is, after all, the doofus who said he would be well protected because he is a Christian.
He was yammering about Israelis having to take short showers or something. I guess being a plumber (albiet an unlicensed one), he knows something about showers.
Oh well, maybe when he gets back he can learn enough about plumbing to get his license and start a business that BHO will tax into the oblivion that exists in his fervid little imagination.
So he's a nonplumber-turned-war-noncorrespondent, not covering conflict, telling nothing to the enemy, and protecting his home with his words?
I'm no longer thinking he's looking for a book deal, I think he wants a comics line and an action figure. I can't imagine what it would be doing--hitting someone back?
Check him out for getting his. Don't hate folks when he's just trying to make some money to feed his daughters..
Which one of us wouldn't be milking the fat cow for all she was worth until our 15 min. is up?
The MSN on the other hand for pushing Joe down our throats with inpunity should be beaten. How's Blago and Joe even a story with the new unemployment numbers, Gaza and Iraq still front and center? They hitch their wagon to a narative and ride the monotone until we fall asleep.
Three forces--Palin, Pumas, and Joe the Plumber--that were supposed to disappear November 5th have bizarrely resurfaced this past week. It's like all three didn't get the memo that their moment was really done November 5th, not just set aside for the holiday season. Or some dada-esque performance piece about Things Starting With P That Should Have Gone Away Two Months Ago, But Are Back Now For No Discernable Reason.
Are there other stories from the end of the election that involve the letter P, whose zombified re-entrance we should vigilantly anticipate? What's wrong, the press is tired of spell-checking Blagojevich even when he provides them with Tennison quotes?
Look on the bright side...he's a war correspondent in a war he likes, but doesn't appove of his own role in it...on a right-wing propaganda-outlet kalled PyjamasTV...i mean...
if u put 1000 monkeys with a 1000 typwriters in a room for a 1000 years, they couldn't come up with this shit!
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go over here and pound my head against a wall.
*thudthudthudthudthud*
Nope. This still makes no sense.
I'm excited for Mr. Plumber in his no position. I can think of no one better qualified to be in the middle of a war.

I'm busting my ass looking for writing and editing jobs, and this shortbussy muthafucka just falls into a job as a war correspondent?

I prefered the American of previous generations when idiot, fourth rate celebrities were content with just appearing on the Hollywood Squares.

Hey BS, good luck on the hunt.
I applaud him for providing one of the more effective refutations of white supremacy in recent years.

I appreciate JTP because he serves to remind us, in the coming absence of George W Bush, that a significant portion of the United States is retarded.
Christ, what an asshole.
@Deborah: I dunno, maybe stories about how all the "P" keys have been removed from the computers in the MSNBC newsroom?

We're not making fun of him, I say good for him if he can get some more cash on his way out. However, the person who hired him should be fired.
In six months this fucker will be fighting on Tonya Harding undercards. And I hope he gets his ass kicked.

@BabylonSista,
Unfortunately, the sun shines on the just and the unjust alike. Sorry, but karma's dead - if it ever existed.
