I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting.
–Joe the Plumber
John McCain should have sued his campaign manager for malpractice. Not only did the campaign management run one of the worst campaigns ever, they bequeathed the rest of us both Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber.
Joe the Plumber is now “reporting” from Israel for a fringe, web tv station. There’s no reason why an unsuccessful, tax delinquent, uncertified plumber can’t have some insight. Joe, however, seems to have his limits. Think Progress has a transcript of some of his, um, insights.
I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war. 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. I think it’s asinine. You know, 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, 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. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.
I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. 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.
