After his 15 minutes of fame in the presidential election Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher, just couldn't keep out of the spotlight. He appeared in a cable commercial. He also hired an agent to potentially start a contry music career. Finally, he was even considering a run for Congress. He also continued to voice his political opinion, saying that he never agreed with McCain but that Sarah Palin was "The Real Deal." Now, after saying on the campaign trail for McCain that a President Obama would mean "The Death of Israel," Fox News has sent Joe "The Plumber" to become Joe "The Reporter."
He is now in Gaza covering the violence there. He first got into an argument with an Israeli reporter:
JOE: The story here is people are being killed and the media's slanting it and trying to make it Hamas is, uh, as far as, that Israel's being bad. Do you believe Israel is bad?
REPORTER: Do I believe it?
JOE: Yeah, do you?!
REPORTER: I'm Israeli, so...
JOE: So answer the question!
REPORTER: No, I don't think Israel is bad.
JOE: Do you think Israel has every right to protect itself?
REPORTER: Yeah.
[pause]
JOE: You do?!
REPORTER: Yeah.
JOE: Have you said that on air?
REPORTER: I'm just a reporter.
