These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ -

I’ll keep saying you got something for me
Something you call governing but its a mess!
You’ve been a’messin’ where you shouldn’t ‘ve been a’messin’
And now I’m gonna get this off my chest
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin’ when you oughta be truthin’
He’s keep losing when he oughta not bet
You keep samin’ when you oughta be a’changin’
Turnarounds alright, but we ain’t Kentucky yet
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep playing where you should have been paying
And you keep thinking that you’ll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, we elected a man with brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And Rauner doesn’t have time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!
So, I told Speaker Madigan, ” Look, now that I’m 6′ 3′’ tall, I’m going to Springfield and whack a few (Banned Word) guys around to get this budget thing straightened out. (Banned Word) Straight, Mike!
MJM (The little fellow couldn’t see over the podium without standing on two shoeboxes)
EMB ( Those shoeboxes look pretty solid-wonder if they’re fulla dough?)
Rahm: “Folks, at the back of the crowd, look, it’s my close personal friend Don Rickles. Don, come up here and take a few jabs at the Speaker. Catch that look of delight on Mike’s face! He’s just dying to hear from you.”
Only the Catholics know when to sit and when to stand. Rahm is working his way into the part where he tries to get them to kneel. The priest is standing by to give last rites if they do.

of the Cook County Judiciary. Chief Judge Evans cannot hide all the political hacks they put on the bench.
