Deadbeat Walsh Wants To Stop Paying Child Support...

The irony burns...

http://www.suntimes.com/18165026-761/ex-tea-party-rep-joe-walsh-wants-to-stop-paying-child-support-because-hes-out-of.html

After insisting he wasn’t a “deadbeat dad” throughout his failed campaign for re-election, ex-U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh skipped last month’s child support payment and has asked to stop paying altogether.

His reason: Since he’s out of Congress, he’s 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 Walsh’s ex-wife,.

And now Walsh has filed a request in Cook County Circuit Court to stop paying child support because he’s 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.

because it's all over.

that is really sad for them to read that he didn't want to take care of them.

may the ugly soul of deadbeat Walsh squirm in agony one day for this.

and his employment status has been irrelevant.

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!

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...

Cheers...
