Joe the Almost Average To Play War Correspondent

[Stingo]

Joe Wurzelbacher, the Poster Boy for the average Republican who suffers from delusions of adequacy, has been hired by Pajamas Media, an imitation news outlet, to cover the conflict in Gaza. Joe’s goal is to talk to Average Joes and Abduls to find out how they react to having homes bombed, questions that don’t really need answers. Stupid.

1. "how do you feel about {insert tragedy here}?"

This is what "journalism" has become. Not about facts, but about "feelings", and at that, the most obvious.

I like to say that there are no stupid questions. However, this "how do you feel about x" type of question is a large exception to that rule.

2. Do you mean Joe the Collateral Damage is heading into a real sewer?

Go get 'em, Joey.

5. He shot down McCain's campaign

So he might screw up this job, too.

6. He and Palin actually did some good, didn't they?

In retrospect, we should thank both of them.

8. We should all pray

That Palin and Wurzelbacher, Mr. "Aspires to Average," stay heavily involved in Republican politics.

4. Pajamas Media

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pajamas_Media

Pajamas Media, briefly known as Open Source Media, is a startup company founded in 2004 by mystery writer, screenwriter and blogger Roger L. Simon, and Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs "with the intention of... aggregating blogs to increase corporate advertising and creating our own professional news service."<1> Pajamas Media's name is derived from a dismissive comment made by former news executive vice-president Jonathan Klein of CBS during the Killian documents affair: "you couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of checks and balances at 60 Minutes and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas"...

Pajamas Media's corporate status was suspended by the Secretary of State of California for non-payment of fees and the company appears to be currently inactive. Pajamas Media is not defunct. The official name of the company is OSM Media, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, qualified to do business in California as OSM Media, LLC, with a fictitious name statement under Pajamas Media. Pajamas Media, Inc. is not OSM Media, LLC dba Pajamas Media...


Good luck, Joe the Target...
