Look buddy, you don't get to hold a press conference and then complain that the media's giving you too much attention. You especially don't get to do it on a cable news network show.

In related news, McCain accuses Democrats of "smearing" Wurzelbacher -- as if all that stuff about him not actually being licensed, being behind on his taxes, and being opposed to Social Security are Democrats' fault.

Just pay your damn taxes "Joe" and they'll stop asking about that.

First of all, Obama's tax plan wouldn't affect his attempts to open a small business, and secondly, he's no plumber. He has no licence. So he's coming at Obama, committing fraud right from the start.

And now he's complaining that he's become popular for being a Republican plant? Poor baby!
