Think Progress ? Joe the Plumber: ?I think media should be abolished? from reporting on war.

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.

Yeah, it would be really sucky to have a First Amendment right to be a - wait for it - "war correspondent".

Considering CNN's trouble with faked videos/images during the Gaza conflict he's probably more trust worthy than them

What a self-important dolt. The flop sweat in the McCain campaign was never so evident as when they trotted this guy out.

[sandgk]

not the Joe should run to be not the leader of the GOP.

Shouldn't all you that don't like Joe be upset with Caroline Kennedy?

[jlb1705]

Why, is she a practicing plumber without a license too?

Speaking only for myself, yes, I am. She's a socialite masquerading as a politician. I hope the NY state Democrat party has enough sense not to anoint her by appointing her to the Senate.

Point is (I think) that for what she did in the campaign, you normally get a cushy ambassadorship.

Send her to the Court of St. James like her grandfather.

The Columbus Dispatch : 'Joe the Plumber' sues 3 ex-officials, claiming privacy violated

COLUMBUS -- "Joe the Plumber" is suing three former state officials in Ohio, saying they violated his privacy when they gathered personal information in a records search.
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says in the federal lawsuit filed today that he suffered emotional distress, harassment, personal humiliation and embarrassment as a result of their actions. He's seeking unspecified punitive damages.
The lawsuit names Helen Jones-Kelley, who resigned in December as director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and two assistants.
An investigation that month by Ohio's inspector general found that Jones-Kelley improperly used state computers to find personal information on Wurzelbacher and conducted improper political fundraising activity for president-elect Barack Obama.

They did violate his privacy, but the personal humiliation and embarrassment? That's on him.

I don't it when people want to gouge us for our tax dollars with frivolous lawsuits.
