Joe the (NOT) Reporter

I used to think that Sarah Palin was the Queen of Word Salad with maybe that poor beauty contestant from South Carolina coming in a close second, (though in Miss SC's case, I will let her use the stage fright excuse this once) but after today, Sarah will have to do much better to keep her title of the dumbest speaker. Someone else has taken the title from her.

I'm sure you are asking, "How can anyone take that title away from one of the best word salad speakers that we have seen in years?" Well, it had to be someone who is even dumber than the current title holder, but who is delusional enough to think that he/she knows all the answers and that the world is waiting with bated breath for every pearl of wisdom to burst forth from his/her massive and knowledgeable brain. And who is this deluded fool of a Republican? You know it has to be a Republican.

Ta Dah! It's Joe the Plumber, um, Joe the Singer, no, Joe the Author, that's not right, um, Joe the Reporter, oh heck, it's Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber!” but who should truly be called "Joe the Dumber." Joe has been trying on the hat of reporter, and with the blessing and I assume financial backing of a neoconservative website has gone to Israel to "report on the war."

You want proof that Joe has managed to snatch the title of Word Salad Queen, er, King away from Bible Spice Sarah? Well, here it is in black and white:

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war. I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what’s happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I think it’s asinine. 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. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.

I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell. And if you’re gonna sit there and say, “Well look at this atrocity,” well you don’t know the whole story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it.

And just in case you can't believe your own eyes or your monitor, here is Joe in all his mighty glory making an ass of himself on camera:

The Link

I rest my case. I realize that whether Sam/Joe, whatever his name is has managed to get the title of King of Word Salad is debatable, but there is one title he may be very close to getting. That title would be "Dumbest Person in the World!"

I do have one question that I would love for Sam/Joe to answer:

"Hey Joe! Have you paid your taxes yet?"
