His reason: Since hes out of Congress, hes now unemployed.
Walsh, a flame-throwing Tea Party Republican who was trying to land a radio deal and has launched a social media campaign against Fox commentator Karl Rove, did not pay the $2,134 in child support he owed in January, according to the attorney who represents Walshs ex-wife,.
And now Walsh has filed a request in Cook County Circuit Court to stop paying child support because hes unemployed.
So much for the "party of personal responsibility". Now this scumbag wants to run for governor. Glad my fellow 8th District residents threw this douchenozzle out of Congress and replaced him with Tammy Duckworth.

Were I the judge in the case, I'd toss him into the cooler for contempt of court and let him think about the alternatives for a week or so.
One thing he undoubtedly learned from his brethren in Congress is how to hide his assets. Like hell he's got no income!

(31,706 posts)He claimed he slept in his office...he raised all sorts of teabagger money....surely he had to been able to nut a couple bucks away for junior. I think the judge should do a full audit of his expenses (especially those when he was on my dime) and see if there's other laws he's shirked in the process.
The dude's been trying to land a hate radio gig...problem is no station wants to pay him.
He's the true definition of an 8th day "wonder"...on the 9th day...
