Actually, this story does more to point out the decline in responsibility that comes with a liberal mindset, as it does to smear Hillary. That her brother owes 158 G's in alimony and child support to Barbara Boxer's daughter is just icing on the cake. I thought Bill and Hillary were making the big bucks? Why not just bail out her deadbeat Dad brother? Maybe best to just repeal the Bush tax cuts in case the, I'm sure, well-heeled daughter ever needs to go on the dole. I guess Hillary limits her fighting for the children to those that don't share her name. How noble. And they were married in the White House Rose Garden, how freaking special is that?
Hillary Rodham Clinton's youngest sibling is a deadbeat dad who owes tens of thousands of dollars in child support to his politically connected ex, The Post has learned.
In a disclosure that could prove embarrassing for his sister, Anthony Rodham has stiffed his former wife, Nicole Boxer, out of $75,000 in child support, as well as $55,000 in alimony, a source close to the case said.
Including interest and various fees and expenses, the presidential candidate's brother now owes Boxer - the daughter of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) - more than $158,000, the source said.
Is this what passes for journalism? Why don't you just say John Edwards is the father of Jamie Lynne Spears child?

o.k. John Edwards is the father of Jamie Lynn Spears child...feel better!
As you know the elite rich liberals only want the masses to pay for the "common good" not themselves.....think Hugo Chavez...or Vincente Fox and now you know why Hillary "will take those tax cuts for the great good".

Jeez, you'd think as brother to a senator and possibly the next US President, the guy could leverage his influence a little better. Maybe Neil from the Bush Family can give him some tips, HE certainly knows how it's done.

Is this the weasel's brother that made millions seven years ago selling pardons signed by Slick Willie? Slick is still collecting his bribes (some say $40 million in 7 years, others say $40 million per year for 7 years. Only the off shore tax free banks know for sure). What happened to the brother-in-law, P.O. the weasel?

Shh...the media doesn't want to talk about this.
Imagine if this was a Republican who's brother was a deadbeat dad to another Republican's daughter. LOL

Living in the Chicago area, I have several friends who were in the Maine South class of '72 w/Tony Rodham. In high school, and the years following, Tony was a fun "partier" type, as were my friends who hung out w/him. At one of their recent class reunions, Tony showed up (as my friends describe him) disheveled and completely "out of it". He appeared, as one said, to look as though he was living on the streets. To hear this description, I can understand why he can't scrape together $158,000 for child support and alimony. By coincidence, $158,000 is what I estimate Grandma Barbara Boxer has spent on cosmetic surgery in the past several years.

Does anyone else get a kick out of far left wing fanatical nutjob chris when he says "you 28%" when the democrat congress gets an 11% rating. We need to start calling him "you 11%ers." I wonder if he even knows that democrats are hated more than Bush and the Republicans?

This is nonsense. My niece has been stiffed by her husband and he's as Republican as they come. It has nothing to do with one's politics and everything to do with personal behavior as all these Republican congressmen and senators caught with prostitutes or picking up gays would tell you.

The poor, poor child of Rodham and Boxer. Forced to suffer a deprived christmas, and undoubtedly going to bed with only the one bowl of gruel. No, sir, he may not have any more.
If it wasn't for the enlightened and necessary Child Support Enforcement bureaucracy, these children would have absolutely no hope available to them. Thank god for the Family Support Act of 1988 which creates a federal bureaucracy to ensure that children of privilege and near-privilege have the funds available to grow up in this modern world. Without child support, they might not be able to purchase the latest in video gaming and electronic entertainment.
The kids getting the gruel? they aren't covered. They get AFDC. And if their father actually pays child support? doesn't go to the child, it goes to the state -- to reimburse it for providing AFDC.
The kids who absolutely need child support as the possible difference between eating and not won't get it, even if paid. The kids who don't need child support almost always do get it, and when they don't, you can be certain that we'll hear about it.
...as we're hearing about this poor, poor deprived child.
