<snip>"I was unhappy that my name was used as much as it was because I think there were real other issues that should've been discussed during the debate," said Wurzelbacher. "I was happy that I was used as a focal point but I didn't think I was going to be the only point."

Seemingly disillusioned by his treatment during the election, Wurzelbacher continued: "You know, fame is fleeting, leaves you hungry, leaves you cold, leaves you tired. Fortune never comes with it."

Dressed in a grey sports T-shirt and blue track pants, Wurzelbacher, 34, talked while smoking a cigarette and leaning against his black sports utility vehicle on the driveway of his home in Holland, a working-class town in one of the key swing states of the election.

7. What a pathetic creature he is. He's unraveling. He stumps for McC, and now...

...he's complaining about how he was treated. And he says fame doesn't bring fortune. Does that mean some of his ventures aren't panning out?
