Teabagger and all around general douchebag Joe Walsh has a brand new spin on his lack of paying child support story. Now it's :
Joe Walsh Says He Had 'Verbal' Deal Not To Pay Child Support
How conveeeeeenient.
Freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) says he didn't pay tens of thousands of dollars in child support payments to his ex-wife because he was under the impression they had an informal agreement that he'd keep the money.
Natch! When you owe something you keep it. Makes perfect sense. And it makes even more sense that he comes up with this new revelation NOW after trying to polish up some previous shit nuggets and sell them as gold right? Instead of sharing this impossible to prove verbal agreement up front?
Through his attorney, Walsh claimed he had a "verbal agreement" with his wife on child support because "Joe and his former wife were both tired of court appearances and the resulting emotional and financial impact on the family. Neither party had the financial or emotional wherewithal to continue the battle."
In typical teabagger fashion, Walsh is doing what they always do. Blame someone else and attack their character. From the Chicago Sun Times:
In a written statement Thursday, Walsh’s office said: “By blatantly and knowingly submitting false information in her pleading Laura Walsh and her attorney’s not only broke Illinois state law, but it is clear that the only point in submitting these allegations was an attempt to tarnish the Congressman’s reputation.”
See, Laura Walsh broke the law and must be punished! Newsflash Joe, you don't need any help in tarnishing your reputation. You do a fine job of that every time you open your pie hole.
