Deadbeat Walsh Wants To Stop Paying Child Support... [View all]

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.
