Fiscal Responsibility Begins at Home, Joe...

Tea Party darling and alleged dead-beat dad, Representative Joe Walsh (R-IL) just can't catch a break. Not only does he still owe his wife more than $100K in back child support, Politico is reporting that he's only managed to raise $38K for the first two months of 2012 in his bid to continue representing Illinois' 8th Congressional District. That barely covers the $24K he supposedly owes in legal fees.

Adding to his money woes, the HuffPost is saying that Walsh is trailing behind both of the democratic candidates vying for his House seat, Tammy Duckworth and  Raja Krishnamoorthi. Stir this up with Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics (CREW) naming Walsh as one of the most corrupt politicians in D.C., and you almost feel sorry for the guy.

Almost.

Things look very bleak, indeed, for Joe's political future. I'd suggest that we take up a collection for the man, but I doubt that we'd get enough donations to buy the fellow a box of tissues.
