Tea party hero Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) wants to wipe out the nation’s debt, but he’s got some major personal debt that his ex-wife is demanding he take care of — $117,437 in child support, according to a lawsuit reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The suit charges that Walsh enjoyed foreign vacations with his new girlfriend while claiming he couldn’t pay support for his three kids because he was out of work.

Walsh’s attorney, R. Steven Polachek, told the Sun-Times the claim of unpaid child support is unfounded.
“I dispute that he owes the child support that she’s claiming or anywhere near that amount,” he said. “Joe Walsh hasn’t been a big-time wage-earner politician until recently — he’s had no more problems with child support than any other average guy.”

The Republican mantras are:
"It's all about me,me,me."
"Me First."
"What's in it for me?"
"Laws for thee, but not for me."
There IS such a thing as a free lunch...if you're a Republican..."
Favorite good Joe Walsh story: He spent weeks or months picking out and learning the complex guitar on the Beatles' "And Your Bird Can Sing" (I think) - only to find out later that it was actually *two* guitars, double-tracked!
