Comments

PJTV was running ads on Balloon Juice for quite a while. I don't see them anymore but I'm told they're still there.

Rip,

You noted the AP actually identified PJTV as a conservative website.

Would they have done that even four months ago?

Good point, a212.

I only wish I could enjoy this fine comedy coming down the pike in HD. Spent a pretty penny on that big set and it's goin' to waste.

Okay, that Ollie Williams comparison may be the best thing I've read on this topic so far.

Well, then, Auguste, I guess we got ourselves an internets meme!

'Joe the Plumber in Israel' stories should be accompanied by an Ollie Williams pic, kids. Make it so!

Ripley: "PJTV was running ads on Balloon Juice for quite a while..."

True, and yes they still run there. But the way it's written makes it sound like Cole himself is pushing PJTV, which he's not.

PJ recruited Cole back when he was still a wingnut apologist. While Cole and PJ still have a financial agreement, Cole is politically on the opposite side of the fence these days.

.

Upon reading this news on Wonkette, some wag replied, "I wonder if Hamas has PayPal?"

Well, like you said, it's PJTV, and this just goes to show what a joke that organization is. Joe the Fucking Plumber? Why not sent that deranged Atlas Shrugs woman along for the ride?

What, Malkin didn't want to go?

whose claim to fame is being schooled on the finer points of tax policy, on video, by Presidential candidate, Barack Obama and still not getting it!!

I am just imagining Joe the Plumber's hard hitting interviews, as he introduces himself to people who live in othere countries by his Nom de Fame, a self-refrential question about "regular Joe", receiving a polite response of "Uh...yes...who did you say you were?" from someone who's never heard of him.

"Enough about me," says Joe. "Let's talk about you. What do you think about me?"

Hilarity ensues.

[True Story: I had a landlord once who was talking to one of my roommates about his girlfriend and followed the rommate upstairs when the roommate said he had to use the bathroom. The landlord stood there, waiting patiently outside the bathroom and picked up the conversation as soon as the door opened. Creepy?

Sounds like what my wife goes through when my mother-in-law visits from Germany...except she follows my wife right into the john.

Enjoy.

PJ recruited Cole back when he was still a wingnut apologist. While Cole and PJ still have a financial agreement, Cole is politically on the opposite side of the fence these days.

JGabriel, yep - I wasn't implying endorsement on Cole's part, just noting the irony that they actually advertise on his site, still. And expect his readers to, I don't know - flock to PJTV with eyes wide open or whatever.

When I imagine JtP reporting from Israel, Bob and Ray spring to mind.

Thers will get it. So will Molly.

WTF -- was Jeff Gannon not available?

Though I do expect a full report on the shitty state of Gaza's infrastructure.

Tee hee!! "Shit's blowin' up!" Gotta love it...

Its times like these that lend credence to the idea that we're all just existing in a huge computer program (ala The Matrix.) I mean, honestly, how else could something so absurd pass for "reality" if not for a handful of hackers with a seriously fucked up sense of humor?

I had to laugh, almost uncontrollably, when I heard NPR mention this in passing yesterday. If I hadn't, I think I would have driven myself into a lightpole...

Thank you, Ripley, for tackling this "news" with all the seriousness it deserves. I thought of JeffyLube as well - he's gotta be fuming that he didn't get the call!

It's currently 18C in Eilat, Israel right now (it would be 20 to 7PM there as I write this). Highs later this week are supposed to reach 25C. That's nice beach-going weather, if you're so inclined. (Also, there's a four-star hotel in Eilat with the coolest swimming pool in the world.) Eilat is also 243km from Be'er Sheva, or well out of missile range. (If terrorists were lobbing rockets at Toronto, which is about as far away from me as Eilat is from Be'er Sheva, I wouldn't be breaking a sweat about my own hide.)

Joe the Plumber, therefore, could get a nice south-of-France style vacation (albeit on the Red Sea and not the Mediterranean) in and still claim he was doing war correspondence in a combat zone, the bastard.

... some dime a dozen lunkhead ...
Seems a little overpriced to me!

... some penny a peck lunkhead ...
Somewhat better.

... some mil a million lunkhead ...
Now we're talkin' value, people!

What can we expect from this joker, some kind of Ollie Williams "Shit's blowing up!" reports?

Move over, SCTV Farm Film Report, it's time for the

JtP:
"Well, Paul, I kid you not, that F-16 strike on the terrorist elementary school was [bleep]in' sweet!

Whoosh, KA-BOOM, baby! That whole [bleep]in' block just got blowed up real good!

Now, that's your average Red Plate Gaza Gumbo Special, if ya know what I mean.

Talk about yer shock-n-awe...these IDF dudes don't [bleep] around! They know how to take care o' business, man!

God, you just know that one hadda hurt!

Back to you, Paul.

So, what have you been doing to prepare for this assignment?

I've been monitoring the news, learning as much as I can about the Middle East. ...Trying to learn how to pronounciate (sic) the names...

What a maroon!

...Also, it's not the safest place, the middle east - how will you protect yourself?

Well, as a Christian, I believe that God will protect me....
