Judge Rebukes DEADBEAT DAD JOE WALSH For MISSING Child Support Hearing: ‘He’s No Different Than Any



:applause: :woohoo: :applause:


:rofl:


" As ThinkProgress reported in July, Tea Party freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who relishes lecturing President Obama and Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes more than $117,000 in child support to his ex-wife and three children. Despite loaning his own campaign $35,000 — and paying himself back at least $14,200 for the loans — Walsh has claimed he failed to make the payments because he “had no money.”


But yesterday a Chicago judge issued a preliminary ruling against Walsh, ordering him to explain why he is more than $100,000 behind in child support payments. The judge also scolded Walsh for not attending the hearing personally, after his lawyer suggested he deserved special treatment because he is a congressman: :rofl:





Cook County Circuit Judge Raul Vega also wanted to know why Walsh wasn’t in court Wednesday — the McHenry Republican’s ex-wife, Laura Walsh, was there — and initially said he expected him to show up for the next hearing.


In court, Walsh’s attorney, Janet Boyle, asked Vega “for what purpose” he wanted the congressman in court.


Vega gave her a puzzled look — to which Boyle responded: “Mr. Walsh is a U.S. congressman.”


“Well, he’s no different than anyone else,” the judge replied......:rofl:
