Joe the Plumber to become war correspondent

That's right, folks. Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter's notebook.

The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential campaign says he is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for the Web site pjtv.com.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting. He says he wants to let Israel's "'Average Joes' share their story."

Wurzelbacher gained attention during the final weeks of the campaign when he asked Barack Obama about his tax plan.

He later joined Republican John McCain on the campaign trail. At one stop, he agreed with a McCain supporter who asked if he believed a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel.
