Leave Joe Wurzelbacheralone. He is not a presidential candidate, nor is he a running mate. He is not a movie star or a super model. He is an ordinary person who exercised his Constitutionally-protected right to question Barack Obama on the nominee’s tax policy. You had, and still do not have, any right to investigate his tax returns, divorce records, or his personal history. There are only two reasons you would do so. First, you want to make copy; a petty goal meant to line your pockets and feed the 24 hour news cycle. Shame on you.Or you could actually be angry that a common man such as the plumber from Ohio would dare to seek answers from the candidates directly instead of believing what you are spoon-feeding the American public. Mr. Wurzelbacher is doing what all good citizens should; he is thinking for himself.

Of course, if American citizens did that for themselves more often, where would that leave you FOX news and MSNBC? Would the lights go out at CNN or CBS? Would the presses at the New York Times, Washington Post, or Toledo Herald fall silent and cool? Or, worse than that, would your ineptitude, laziness, and meaningless polls be exposed for all the world to see? Yes, the Emperor has no clothes but in order to distract us from that you pull Mr. Joe Wurzelbacher’s pants down and point. Edward R Murrow must be spinning in his grave right now.

Congratulations on your “exercise” of the First Amendment at the expense of the American populace. Now go find some REAL news to report.
