Another Joe the Plumber note:
"Joe the Plumber" is suing three former state officials in Ohio, saying they violated his privacy when they gathered his personal information in a records search.

Samuel J. Wurzelbacher says in the federal lawsuit filed Thursday that he suffered emotional distress, harassment, humiliation and embarrassment as a result of their actions. He's seeking unspecified punitive damages.

The lawsuit names Helen Jones-Kelley, who resigned in December as director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and two assistants.

Ohio's inspector general found that Jones-Kelley improperly used state computers to find personal information on Wurzelbacher, a Toledo-area man who rose to fame during the presidential campaign after asking Barack Obama about his tax plan.

And another:
Plumber, disappointing those who relished calling him “Joe the Attorney,” is not representing himself. He’s teamed up with Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption.

...“You shouldn’t have to regret asking a reasonable question in a public forum of a presidential candidate,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “This attack on Joe the Plumber has a chilling effect on not only his First Amendment rights, but on the First Amendment rights of all.”
