Joe the Plumber in Israel. Okay, I liked Joe the Plumber. It seems expensive and what exactly is Joe the Plumber’s connection with a middle east crisis–a regular Joe soaking in the fun of Gaza (or rather Beer Sheva)? You would get a lot more for your money having Joe the Plumber address union issues in Ohio. Or having Jeff Goldstein embarass Democrats at their convention in Denver. I could go on and on.
