Shut Up Fool Awards-TransFaith In Color Conference Weekend Edition

If you're in Charlotte, NC this weekend, you may want to head over to the Hilton Hotel in University Place and join them for the TransFaith In Color conference that kicks off today and runs through Sunday.

Unfortunately I couldn't be there for it this year, but hope that when the 2012 event roll around Moni will be in the house to meet some of you wonderful transpeeps of color.   It's sponsored by the Freedom Center For Social Justice, and last year's was held in Los Angeles.  .


Okay, now it's time to move on to our weekly Friday business of handing out this week's Shut Up Fool Award.    There were many worthy contenders for this week's honor such as Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), a group award for Fox News, a group award for the Tea Klux Klan,  Jesse Lee Peterson,  Bryan Fisher,  and Ron Christie     .

But this week's winner is Rep. Joe Walsh, (R-IL ) .

This freshman Tea Klux Klan member of Congress has spent months in front of TV cameras bloviating about the President and the Democrats needing to handle their fiscal responsibilities like a mantra. But when it comes to his own fiscal house, to no surprise he's a conservahypocrite when it comes to his own life.

Walsh owes $117,437 in child support to his ex-wife and three kids and claims he doesn't have the money to pay it, but sure did have enough money to loan his 2010 congressional campaign $35,000 and get paid back $14,200 of it so far.

The man who screams during a video “I won’t place one more dollar of debt upon the backs of my kids and grandkids unless we structurally reform the way this town spends money!”  won't pay up on the child support debt he owes his wife and the same kids he pimps in his talking points as he grins for the cable news show cameras.

Rep. Joe Walsh, shut up foll!
