Some Thoughts For Your Morning

- Conservatives are ever eager to find a Democrat that does something stupid. I don't really blame them, as they have to find a way to deflect from their own party's failings on a daily basis. But this sort of action by a Democratic representative needs to be address on several levels and not just a partisan one. Certainly, it was pure stupidity for Bob Etheridge to assault the "student journalist" like that, but considering the nature of "journalism" amongst the Right these days, one can't but almost understand why a person ( be they an elected official or not ) react in similar fashion. Still, it was a bone-headed move and I'm of the mind that Etheridge should be punished for it.

- I've been saying for years that there is no possible way that conservatives have the time, talent, or cognitive skills to write multiple books within a calendar year. Glenn Beck has another book coming out and there's a fairly good case put forth that he didn't write it. Considering the fact that Sarah Palin hired someone to write the book she put her name on and not one conservative seemed to take issue with that, and taking a look at how Glenn Beck is revered as a messiah among the Fox"News" establishment, I'm guessing that his latest ream of nonsense isn't going to be challenged either.

- Michelle Bachman continues with the fringe ( mainstream? ) conservative line that Obama is in league with terrorists by claiming that funds used to aid Gaza and the West Bank will be appropriated by Hamas. This really doesn't surprise me, as most conservatives are in favor of completely cutting off all foreign aid entirely.

Comedy Gold, Joe Style

I don't know what's more laughable, Joe doing his"COME LOOK WHAT I'M DOING!!!!!" schtick or trying to tell camera operators and reporters what to do.

If you'd like to watch the who video, you'll have to register.

Perhaps He Should Be Called Joe "The Tourist" Instead

Check out Joe in action.



Ah, the good-ole days of limited news coverage when people didn't have opinions.

So, Joe, by your very statement, shouldn't you be headed home now?

I Am At A Loss For Words

What?

TOLEDO, Ohio — Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.

The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for the conservative Web site pjtv.com.

Who is PJTV.com, you ask?

Well, thier website has this to say about Joe "The Guy That Has No Clue What He's About To Get Into" Wurzelbcher here.

Michelle Malkin, a PJTV contributor, seems to think that people are going to be praying to Joe's death during his trip.

Predicting death wishes for Joe from the left side of the blogosphere in 3, 2, 1…

All kidding aside, Joe is only being sent to the middle-east because of his comments regarding Barack Oabama and Isreal:



Does this man not realize what he's getting into? Has he the intelletual honesty to tell himself that he isn't a field reporter, that the "average Joe's" that he is bein sent to talk to in Israel more than likely will want nothing to do with him? Does he understand the real danger that he is putting himself in?

There is still a part of me that thinks that this is all hype and no delivery, all foreplay and nothing more - something juicy for the Fox"News" prattle-heads to pat theirselves on the back with . Is Joe honestly going to go to Israel and talk to the "average Jew" that is being affected by this conflict?

I'll believe that when I see it.
