The Priorities Of Rep Joe Walsh

Sept 14th, 2011

Who knows what Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) was doing today? He just couldn't make it to court. I don't see why the judge is so upset. After all, Rep. Walsh also had better things to do than attend a joint session of Congress called by the President of the United States. Via WLS:

"A judge in Chicago issued a preliminary ruling Wednesday against U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh in the Tea Party favorite’s child-support dispute with his ex-wife, ordering him to explain why he appears to be $100,000 behind on child-support payments, the Sun-Times is reporting.

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

Walsh’s new 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 said." EMPHASIS OURS

I think a lot of us have had that same puzzled look lately when the subject of Representative "Deadbeat" has come up.
