After having his name driven into the mud by rabid partisans in Ohio for simply asking a question of the messiah, this is welcome news for Joe Wurzelbacher.

“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.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher (WUR’-zuhl-bah-kur) says he’ll spend 10 days covering the fighting.

He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants to let Israel’s “‘Average Joes’ share their story.”

Wurzelbacher gained attention during the final weeks of the campaign when he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan.”

Joe did a great job in his media interviews and you could see that he could communicate clearly and concisely, and might just make a great correspondent.

However it will be a dangerous assignment and Joe is a husband and father so we wish him God’s speed on a safe and successful trip.
