The peril of fame

Joe (the Plumber) Wurzelbacher is famous.  He's the plumber who dared to complain about the impact Obama's tax plan would have on him.  In response, Obama revealed his belief that a person's wealth doesn't belong to him, but needs to be "spread around".
 
Last night, he was the talk of the debate.  Now, he's the talk of the town.
Joe's all over the place today. On "Nightline" last night, he told Terry Moran:
"To be honest with you, that infuriates me," plumber Joe Wurzelbacher told Nightline's Terry Moran. "It's not right for someone to decide you made too much---that you've done too good and now we're going to take some of it back."
"That's just completely wrong," he added.
And the attack dogs are loose.  Among questions raised, is Joe even registered to vote?
The answer turns out to be a definite yes.  (Why this is relevant is not entirely clear.)
 
Other attacks are ongoing.  Hope he's ready for them.
