Sam Wurzelbacher seems to be outliving his 15 minutes of fame. We all remember his stint as a war reporter for Pajamas Media. As that site wrote:
[Journalists'] complaint seems to be that that being a war correspondent — among the most glamorous and dangerous of media assignments — requires a specialized journalism background. At the risk of bruising the fragile egos of some of these journalists — no, it doesn’t.
And "Joe" proved this point, by bringing his
unique perspective to war: "I think media should be abolished from, uh, you know, reporting. You know, war is hell."
What, you thought that was the last we'd hear from this unlicensed plumber? Wrongo. He has resurfaced as a
Republican Consultant. (I thought he would run for office, but apparently he says, "I don’t know if the American public deserve me." Fair enough, pardner.)
Anyway, Sam is making money by dispensing advice to Congressional Republicans. Is anybody
not giving them advice at this point? Here's what they're paying Sam for:
His advice, essentially, was to take no prisoners in standing up for their beliefs.
“It’s not politically incorrect to say you’re Republican or conservative,” Joe said. “They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done.”
And no reason to be subtle, he said, as long as folks inform themselves. “I don’t believe there’s two sides to every story. It’s black and white,” Wurzelbacher explained. “There’s right and wrong.”
Um, Sam, "right and wrong" is two sides ... oh, nevermind.
