1. Meeting with the Koch brothers?

36. Meeting with the Koch brothers?

Now they are what I call 'Clear and Present Danger."

[Ship of Fools]

2. Dear Joe: Maybe you can fly home and hand deliver your child support payments to your ex.

Just a thought ... Oh, btw, why don't you make it a one-way ticket as well?

[Richardo]

3. RT @RepJoeWalsh - But it's your turn to yell "you lie!" #asshole

[Bozita]

4. Just like he's boycotting his child support payments? $110,000 worth?

This from the "family values" folks.

[valerief]

8. Bwah!

:rofl:

[Roland99]

19. Zing!!

[PatSeg]

26. Well, he doesn't want to be a "prop"

for his children's needs.

This con artist's 15 minutes of fame are going to be shorter than most. I think he looked around and saw all these Tea Party extremists getting so much publicity, and thought, "Hey, I can do that and get out of town at the same time".

[Supersedeas]

5. Republican childishness has no limits--don't mitigate this by labeling him Tea Party

This is a coordinated Republican effort to embarrass this President.

From Justice Roberts' 'flub' of the oath of office to the latest episode with scheduling a speech before Congress, the Republican as a group have been hell bent as a 'corporate body' to marginalize the duly elected executive of this country.

This is not just another Tea Party antic...but part of a Republic narrative that began with John Roberts and the oath of office.

[No Elephants]

31. Small point, but Roberts flub was more embarrassing for him than for Obama.

Showed him to be both lacking in knowledge of something in the Constitution and arrogant and stubborn, given his refusal to have the written oath with him.

Obama corrected him once during the oath, but then they both fell apart on it. Seriously, they both should have had it memorized. It's not that long or hard.

However, since it's Robert's day job, not the President's, to know the Constitution AND to administer the Presidential oath, he made himself look a lot worse than Obama.

[Swede Atlanta]

6. Who cares?

He demonstrated that he had the intelligence of a cricket and the decency of a maggot when he yelled "Liar". Write him off. If we are lucky he will contract some incurable painful disease from one of his prostitutes and be gone.

[dgibby]

12. That was Joe Wilson from SC. n/t

[bjobotts]

7. No solutions Joe must get marching orders cause he doesn't know what to do.ASSHOLE JOE

[bjobotts]

9. Low class trash only thinks how to be spiteful and hateful-Never how to work together for solutions

[pearl303]

33. Joe Walsh boycotting the presidents speech

What an arrogant,Loud mouth fast talking SOB.Joe Walsh has no character just like the rest of those Gop-Teabaggers.

[beac]

10. I wonder if the "job creators" he's meeting with are from Child & Family Services??

Why isn't that scumbag under arrest for failure to pay child support?

[Blue_Tires]

11. GOP: Continuing to set new lows in fuckwittery...

[JohnnyRingo]

13. I'm sure that won't stop him from commenting later on the speech

Joe Walsh is the problem, not part of the solution, and he's proud of that.
The Eagles guitar player should sue him for defamation of character unless he changes his name.

[LynneSin]

14. Where I come from, someone who owes $117k in back child support payments tends to end up in jail

not elected as a US Representative.

[bjobotts]

15. Elected due to name recognition but now the 'person' is exposed so onlyother Aholes vote for him now

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. It's a Joint Session of Congress, not just a 'speech' you asshole

Isn't it dereliction of his duties as congressman to not attend?

[russspeakeasy]

17. Really ? Does anyone really give a shit what he does ?

:nuke:

[pearl303]

35. Joe Walsh boycotting the presidents speech

No. He is really inconsequential.

[Judi Lynn]

18. "I will fly home to IL" to belately support my offspring. Better late than never,

Your Worship.

It's a wonder the Illinois government never urged him to do his duty by his offspring, and PAY that damned child support.

[shraby]

20. He's about as classy as "you lie" Joe.

[Kingofalldems]

21. Job creators: Rich donators

Repubs don't recognize working people a huge job creators also.

[C_U_L8R]

22. Unamerican Clown

should stay home where he can yell at the TV machine

[jwirr]

23. What makes him think anyone is going to miss him?

[Judi Lynn]

27. Exactly! He hallucinates his importance. n/t

[Tx4obama]

24. Joe WILSON yelled 'you lie', BUT Joe WALSH called Obama a 'liar' too

"President Obama, quit lying." -Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL)

There are more videos on YouTube regarding the issue, he never apologized in fact he doubled-down on his remarks.

[Cherchez la Femme]

25. So long Joe, we'll miss ya

not

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Will he finally be going to jail for non payment of child support??

[malaise]

29. Maybe he can pay up the child support while he's at home

Fuck that fucking fool.

[madinmaryland]

30. He probably has a court appearance in regards to his lack of child support payments.

Douchebag.

[No Elephants]

32. Raise your hand if you think anyone at the joint session is going to miss Walsh.

This is a distraction from our sub par media.

Our children have been getting killed abroad for almost a decade. When was the last time we had daily news reports about any war?

People are committing suicide over the economy, as well as over military service.

And this is the kind of irrelevancy our corporate media serves up to us on a regular basis.

[JuniperLea]

34. Taking your marbles and going home...

Is sooo much easier than facing the music.

I'd like to see the list of his "real job creators."

[xchrom]

37. why do you think any one will notice mr walsh? nt
