Joe The Plumber To Visit Israel – Haven’t The Jewish People Suffered Enough?

Listen, you don’t want my opinion on foreign policy. I know just enough about foreign policy to probably be dangerous.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks to a hospitalized Israeli boy during a visit at a hospital in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, Sunday Jan. 4, 2009. The trip of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg comes as Israel launches a ground offensive in Gaza following eight days of punishing airstrikes that failed to halt militant rocket attacks on Israel. (AP Photo / Tsafrir Abayov) Okay, when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited this week, at first I thought he gave an Israeli kid in a hospital a Blue Elmo doll, notorious for “committing strange and terrible acts disguised as his brother Elmo”. It turns out it was a freakishly fluffy version of Cookie Monster. Nevertheless, I kept my mouth shut about the faux pas of giving a monster to a sick child during war.

But now it went too far: The Associated Press reported today that Joe the Plumber will visit Israel as a war correspondent for Pajamas TV -- I am not making this up. This is the same schmo that thinks that “a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel”. Leaving it to psychologists to examine America’s bizarre infatuation with this pseudo average working class person -- can’t we just agree sending this guy over is a cruel and unusual punishment for the region?

Take it away, Keith Olbermann:
