    “Is your scarecrow registered?”

    “Rep. Saviano, thanks so much for the picture, but can you tell Pat Brady to stop calling ‘Mr. S. Crow?’ I thought it was a joke, but the calls keep coming.”

  16. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 11:44 am:

    “Saviano, not to be outdone by Treasurer Rutherford, introduces his friend, ‘Stanley’, a Scarecrow who has a facebook and Twitter account about ‘him’ and ‘his’ favorite state Rep. Take a look…”

    In the competition for the Tribune’s endorsenent this scarecrow steps in for Rep Saviano, and amazingly showed more spine in filling out the Tribune’s questionare than Madigan’s recruited opponent, Ms Willis did–hence earning the ’straw man’ endorsement.

  21. - 47th Ward - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 12:24 pm:

    How’s your friend Skip? What’s the matter? What’s wrong? You don’t talk much. Talk. What are you quiet for?

    It reminds me when we were kids, these couples used to visit one another. There was this man. He would never talk. He’d just sit there all night. They say to him, “What’s the matter?
    Don’t you say anything?”

    He says, “What am I going to say, that my wife two-times me?”

    So she says, “Shut up! You’re always talking.”

    But in Italian, it sounds much nicer.

    Who says the Illinois GOP is not diverse?


  23. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 12:33 pm:

    “How’s that”

    “The Hoof ..”

    The best one I came up with involves the word inflatable and will get me in trouble…


  26. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 12:53 pm:

    Saviano gets a head start on “The Rich Miller Fall Scavenger Hunt”.

    While “Picture with opponent yard sign” was fairly easy, Saviano showed some moxy getting his “picture with a senior” and “picture with a symbol of Fall” in one shot, doubling the points value. Congratulations!

    ——-

    @Stanley77 - “My st.Rep. promised to take me shopping for a Halloween Costume after this picture. How do I dress like Pat Brady? #StanleyIsMoreHelpfulToILGOP

    @Stanley77 - “My st. Rep. and I enjoy a moment with 1 of many seniors in the new 77th. Glad I wore my new hat to impress her! #LookYourBestForSuccess

    @Stanley77 - “When my st. Rep. tries to be funny, he will say, ‘watch out for the flying house!’ I laugh every time. #WizOfOzJokesIn77


  27. - Eilean left - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 12:58 pm:

    Unfortunately the wizard at the end of the yellow brick road is MJM.I don’t think he will be handing out any diplomas,hearts or medals for valor.


  28. - OurMagician - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:03 pm:

    Due to budget cuts, the new PBS version of the Wizard of Oz was slightly less than the original.


  29. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:20 pm:

    @Stanly77 - “Some of you have tweeted about my shirt. I like Horizonal stripes! #HorizonalStripsAreOverrated.”


  30. - South of Springfield - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:27 pm:

    Rich I know you pick the winner..but OW hands down!! The “tweets” are cracking me up !!!


  31. - Rich Miller - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:31 pm:

    OW is already on the list, so he can’t win this one.


  32. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:32 pm:

    @Stanley77 - :”@Stanley, I knew it was you who put suger in my gas tank, you broke my heart.” @Pongee, I was with my st. Rep., here is a pic to prove it! #PongeeIsNotMichaelCorleone.


  33. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:36 pm:

    @Stanley77 - “@Stanley77, can you help with my telethoning, Dad says I need to fill 4 more chairs.” @FakeJasonPlummer, my st. Rep. and I are busy, try @thePowerRangers, you might get 4 of them. #FooledFakeJasonPlummer


  34. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:42 pm:

  35. - titan - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:54 pm:

    Please don’t sing “Maaa-Me” again.


  36. - soccermom - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 1:59 pm:

    You know, I had something moderately clever, but this is so offensive I’m gonna pass.


  37. - 3rd Generation Chicago Native - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 2:02 pm:

    Rep. Skip Saviano poses with his newest and his oldest registered voters in his district.


  38. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 2:09 pm:

    - 3rd Generation Chicago Native -,

    Like that one. Well played!


  39. - Skeeter - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 2:30 pm:

    Bloodshot eyes? An inability to think or stand on his own? Willing to spend time with just about anybody? That’s who Madigan should have recruited for this one.


  40. - Skeeter - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 2:31 pm:

    By the way, if I had a vote, it would go to The Captain. Well done.


  41. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 2:42 pm:

    “A st. Representative, a senoir citizen … and a Scarecrow walk into a bar …”

    @Stanley77 - I want to thank my st. Rep so much! He took me to see ‘family’ @ The Bridgeway Christian Village’s Scarecrow Fest. Thank you, thank you! #SupriseFamilyReunion


  42. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 3:34 pm:

    @Stanly77 - “Hey, @Stanley77 - I am listening to John Mellencamp, guess which song. Ha Ha #BloodOnTheScarecrow#” @FakeJasonPlummer, I got your joke, you are not funny. #SleepWithOneEyeOpenLumberBoy


  43. - NiceGuy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 4:00 pm:

    Saviano thinking:

    “Boy I should have never crossed Madigan. Now I have to poise pictures like this and pretend to like it.”


  44. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 4:21 pm:

    @Stanley77 - I wish my st. Rep.’s new friend didn’t tickle me. My face says it all. #StanleyIsTicklishToo.


  45. - zatoichi - Friday, Oct 26, 12 @ 4:25 pm:

    The Bridgeway Scarecrow Fest?! Ma, really. Do I hafta go to THAT?


  46. - jerry 101 - Monday, Oct 29, 12 @ 10:22 am:

    Jeez. I hope this was just bad decision making when it came to the scarecrow, because my first thought was…

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface

    If it wasn’t just a bad decision with regards to the ski mask, then that’s just offensive.
