The governor in an attempt to be a man of the people has graciously used the bags of money intended to fund his campaign operations and that of the state GOP,to stem the flood waters in Lake County.
I made $188 million in 2015, spent about $70 million on my campaign, and bagged up the rest over here. Diana and I are running out of places to store it in Winnetka, we thought you folks might want to stack some cash bags up to keep the water out.
One thing I admire about Bruce Rauner is that the man is tough and committed to his cause. He made $176 million dollars in 2015, he could be anywhere on earth today, but he is touring flood damage. I understand he was a bit late in showing up, and for that he and his staff can be faulted, but I take away from this picture a man who is weary, and has the means to be anywhere he wanted to be taking it easy.
@ Saluki. There is no way that Rauner’s face is projecting empathy or sadness for Illinois residents. Remember, he cut funding for educational programming for kids with autism on National Autism Awareness day. He sat by while thousands of people lost their jobs. He does not care a whit about those people whose homes are flooded. His face is that of a person who has been inconvenienced by mother nature. I hope the flooding left a water stain on his Dolce & Gabbana shoes.
I got a little check in my pocket goin’ jing a ling a ling. No not for you lake county, for my campaign. Love those Georgia satellites, where’s my bike. Wait what floods?
“I can’t believe I have to be here again, when I could be flying around the state pushing my Turnaround Agenda and letting everyone know how I technically agree with 90% of SB1 but will AV it anyway.”
I didn’t mean my comment as snark. I think sometimes I have let my general contempt for the man overrun my better angels. Bruce Rauner is not totally without empathy, and his job is not easy. Perhaps this kind of experience touring flooded out property will have an impact on him in a positive way. I am probably being overly optimistic today, but here is to hoping.
The gift cards in the bags behind me will be awarded for each favorable comment you make on Capitol Fax. Bonus points will be awarded for proper spellin’ and for the best projection of my faults onto others. Good luck guys, I’m countin’ on you.

Saluki, the whole “I could be anywhere, but I am nobly choosing to be Governor” thing is ridiculous. Elected office is a privilege - that’s why he’s willing to spend millions of dollars to be Governor. This is part of the job that he so desperately wanted.
