Does Joe realizes this is no Disneyland?
5. Jewish People should be happy an average Joe supports you!
Larry W ,   New York City USA   (01.07.09)
I am amazed at the stupidity of my fellow Jews in the United States. We voted in mass for a guy who has surrounded himself with some of the most anti-semetic people in the United States. Most notably Rev. Wright - the man who inspired Obama's best seller, married Obama and Michelle, and baptized Obama's daughter. A man who on on tape bashes Israel after 9-11. Republicans, most notably George Bush with 25% of the Jewish vote in good year, supported Israel more than many Jews. I am an American First, but I know darn well that without Israel Jewish people are in danger. So please stop making fun of those who support our causes. As Jews we are hated by 95% of the world (if you have doubt pick up a newspaper), lets not insult one of the 5% who supports us ... Please. Lastly, with less than 2 weeks till the inaguration Barack Hussein Obama , Jews will soon realize that Israel is going to lose a real friend (George Bush) and replace with one (B.H. Obama) who at best will be apethetic towards her security....And yes we have only ourselves to blame or at least the 75% that voted for him. G-d Speed and stay safe...Joe the Plumber, and thanks for your support!
6. The real joke will start on January 20, 2009.
Jake   (01.07.09)
Nobody will be laughing, but the entire country will be knocked out by the punchline.
7. #4, Sewage problems in Gaza, you say?
Jake   (01.07.09)
The UN & co. have been hounding Israel ad nauseam to "beat its swords into ploughshares". Maybe just for once, they can advise Hamas to weld their Qassam and Grad rockets into sewage pipes!
8. At least Joe wont lead his report with "civilians" targeted!
bjl ,   usa   (01.07.09)
9. Joe the Plumber... "He will fix Gaza's water problems"
J.Daniel Maguire ,   Rumbling Waters, USA   (01.07.09)
Meir, It will take more than Joe to fix Gaza's water problems; as this is, as you are well in tune with, just one of many problems to be resolved there. It doesn't take a mere plumber to deal with terrorists or report their activities and / or sick rhetoric; Undertakers come more to mind... I do realize that I may be "preaching to the choir " but Unfortunately terrorists don't understand anything else other than to live and die by the sword while hiding behind and killing the innocent... There are certainly more noble issues / committments in this life to live and / or die for... As for Joe, he just ought to stay here at home and fix some needy person's plumbing problems pro bono... Seriously Joe, We Regular Folk understand what the deal is relative to Hamas and like terrorists in general... But Thanks Meir, that Was Funny...! :-)
10. Restrooms his right place, CNN/Fox say he is mideast expert
Joe ,   Toledo, OH   (01.08.09)
This is the kind of bubbly sewage that US media loves to show the American public about the mideast. But most Americans won’t buy this stinky crap from any one including a plumber.
11. At Last! Good News! Welcome Joe!
Botafogonisso ,   RJ BR   (01.08.09)
A commom person reporting is more credible than int'l biased media. I'll watch your reports. Good luck!!!!
12. #10 I'll take Joe any day over Al Jazeera or the BBC.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.08.09)
The real sewage is TV stations like Al Jazeera or the BBC which show a very distorted and one-sided picture of what's going on here. Joe would tell Americans the real deal!
13. Stick to plumbing
Zuri ,   Sydney Australia   (01.08.09)
14. Ha ha ha ha ha! They found out that...
GUH   (01.08.09)
he wasn't even a liscenced plumber... and now this unliscensed plumber... is an unliscensed journalist covering the slaughter... in "favorable terms," which means everything. What a fool! Ha ha ha!
15. Want to pipe a whole bunch of fecal matter...
Wanda ,   Montreal   (01.08.09)
...and call it news? Act now, send this guy!
16. #12 The BBC is really that bad
David Thompson ,   Melbourne, Australia   (01.08.09)
I try watching the BBC, but I just can't, that's where the real sewage is. I think a monkey in a multi coloured lamé suit could do better reporting then them!
17. SHUT UP PEOPLE!!!! It's a sweet thing to do
Talula ,   Israel   (01.08.09)
He's not hurting anyone. Leave him alone.
18. We also need a "Jacques le plombier" and "Juan el fontanero"
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.08.09)
... to set srtaight the record in France and Spanish-speaking countries. What about a "Sir Joe The Royal Plumber" to expose BBC's work for Al-Jazeera. But where is "Yona the Plumber" from Israel to do the same work?
19. #14
TK ,   US   (01.08.09)
Maybe you should get a license to spell before you're allowed to post. Get a dictionary at least. You might want to hold off on calling anyone a fool until you learn how to spell.
20. Wait And See
David ,   Jerusalem   (01.08.09)
Let's wait an see how he handles it and what he has to say.
21. Advice to Joe the plummer.
(01.08.09)
Stay in your profession fool!
22. Joe the Plumber
Doctor Who ,   Gallifrey   (01.08.09)
Israel, be afraid, very afraid. Hamas is the least of your worries. This man brought down George Bush.
