Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh sued for $100,000 in child support
Remember this guy on Tweety's show calling the President every name possible, ranting and raving like a crazy guy.


Freshman U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh, a tax-bashing Tea Party champion who sharply lectures President Barack Obama and other Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $100,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children, according to documents his ex-wife filed in their divorce case in December.

“I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town spends money!” Walsh says directly into the camera in his viral video lecturing Obama on the need to get the nation’s finances in order.

Walsh starts the video by saying, “President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you’ve bankrupted this country.”

In court documents, after his ex-wife, Laura Walsh, asked a judge to suspend his driver’s license until he paid his child support, Joe Walsh asks his ex-wife’s lawyer: “Have you no decency?”

4. And now this financial failure is wrecking our economy.
Brilliant.

Most of these Tpots seem about the same. We need more coverage of who they really are so that people can understand them and their so-called "ideas" for what they really are -- dangerous frauds.

I'll bet that divorce file is some fascinating reading, and gigantic in size. What I'd like to know is, how in the hell did Illinois send this train-wreck to our Congress? That is what's shameful.

9. That is what I'm trying to figure out
The guy is not just a loud-mouthed show boater, he is a major con artist. Surely his financial problems and legal issues must have come out during the campaign. Sounds like this guy owes everyone money, including his former campaign manager.

This could be a movie script.

They hope there is no family connection. Wow, this guy wouldn't even pay for his kid's homecoming suit. A real lowlife.

7. In our state if you don't pay child support, you're at risk of either
losing your drivers license or going to jail.

11. He's a dead beat dad
He should be suspended from his job. better yet, he should be jailed just like other dead beat dads until he comes up with the money. You can bet you butt, if he wasn't a politician, he'd have been jailed long before the amount got to 100k.

12. Thank Goodness I'm "Divorcing" From This Shitstain...
My area has been redistricted away from him (:bounce:)...but I'm still gonna have fun with this deadbeat scumbag. Hopefully this asshat will be forced into a primary with another rushpublican next year and he ends up a one-termer. He surely could find a new gig in the Hypocrites Hall of Fame. Lyin' piece of shit!

16. Since you are in his district you should email and call all the local media and pressure them to run
the story. The more the better!

17. The Chicago Media Is All Over It...
It was the Sun-Times that broke the story and all the newscasts last night, including the Chicago Fox station had it as one of their top stories. Walsh barely won against a Blue Dog who had lost the respect of a lot of Democrats. Hopefully this story will get some national attention and scare this douchenozzle off the stage.

14. This should be a big story
It sums up the entire tea bagger insanity. I am amazed this story has not developed any legs and is getting swept under the rug. C'mon, we have been given a side of beef here, lets have a BBQ.:evilgrin: Don't let it go to waste, they sure as hell would "Weiner-ize" him.
