So I run out of the back of the Frat house completly naked, and Barack, who is supposed to be driving, is passed out in the back of my 79 Brougham. Wendy Pefercorn is behind me screaming “Daley you no good cheating scoundrel”, so I jump in the front seat and take off, man I miss the good old days in college!
Mayor Daley and presidential candidate Barack Obama react after Gov. Blagojevich lets the cat out of the bag: after extensive research Rod will appoint himself as replacement senator.
Gov. Blagojevich releases his latest plan to fund the $750 million hole in the budget: leasing the future proceeds of uncomfortable, used mattresses from the Abraham Lincoln Hotel & Vacation Destination.
Circa 2002 - Rod to B & D:
“After I dominate in Springfield, I’m heading all the way to the White House. No, I mean it. President Blagojevich - they’ll write songs about me…”
Daley: It was so silly. I was Crazy Gluing a couple of Daley Bicentennial Plaza demolition orders together, licked my finger before turning a page and now the darned finger won’t come off my lip!
Governor Goodhair, the Senator and Richard Daley are all on a sinking boat. There are three of them but only 2 life preservers. Gov. Goodhair states: “I must have one of those preservers–after all, I’m the best looking of all of us, and there will be mass unemployment in the hair care products industry if I go down, not to mention that readership and postings on the Capitolfaxblog will be decimated if Illinois actually has a functional Governor.”
The Senator states: “I must have one of those preservers. After all, I’m about to become president and leader of the free world. I’m much much too improtant to go down.”
Richard Daley suggests that they hold a vote. After all the ballot challenges, he remains the only candidate standing. He brings in the HDO to muscle in on the election and goes on to win unanimously.
Hey, there’s Fitzy, quick pretend that we have nothing to be concerned about.

Barack-”Rod, by the way, I just remembered I have a message for you from Governor Thompson-saw him on the way over here. Mayor, thanks for reminding me!” (breaks out in laughter.)
Obama:” You thought I would bring you along to DC. Now that is funny. Lets make a deal Rod, you stay as far away from me as you can, and I might commute your sentence.”
Daley: (Laughing) I might be able to find you something with the sanitation department.
Barak to himself: How much longer do I have to keep this cheesy grin going? C’mon, Alexi, I’m throwing out the Bat Signal here. I thought we agreed - cheesy grin means you come save me. I need to get out of this group soon before someone takes a picture and it winds up in a caption contest on TheCapFax blog. I would even take another body check to ribs if it meant you saved me from this embarrassment!!
No really….I will be re-elected in 2010 so you guys better start working with me. Hey Rich, let’s hold a fundraiser for Barack at the Loop Lab school sometime.”
Gov Blagojevich amuses Presidential Candidate Barack Obama and Mayor Richarad Daley as he expalains his long term goal of being commisioner of major league baseball after he is finished being a US Senator in 2022.
Mayor Daley and Presidential Candidate Senator Barak Obama react to Governor Blagojevich’s assertion that he had no idea all those envelopes full of $25,000 checks weren’t given out of the goodness of the donors hearts.
Blago - A friend of Tony’s wants investors for a new restauant concept. Like Hard Rock, Planet Hollywood, etc. But it is Chicago themed.
Obama - Wow that’s a great idea. Tony mentioned that back when we bought that strip of land.
Da Mayor - It could be Chicago themed. Something different though. How about a Chicago political theme? I’ve got the perfect name for it….. Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe.
Presidential Nominee Senator Obama smirks as he and Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago are informed they are going to be named as adjunct professors at the School for Governors at the federal prison library in Terra Haute, Indiana. The school founded after discovery of former Governor George Ryan’s rampant handwritten notes in the political philosophy books, is rumored to be headed by Governor Blagojevich who has been angling for a spot in the prestigious facility for two terms as Illinois Governor. Head of admissions, Patrick Fitzgerald, had no comment.
Daley pondered the thought, but later clarified he would take the position only if he could speak at commencement and get a full tenured position at the facility. Senator Obama’s chief strategist responded in a statement that his attendance record in Senate clearly reflects he, and he alone, would change the expectations of a professor.

The big 3 tell their best jokes
Blago : Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
