  1. - DuPage Saint - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 2:59 pm:

    As a white male I don’t have any comment


  2. - Gruntled University Employee - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:01 pm:

    Don’t shoot.


  3. - Grand Avenue - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:02 pm:

    Say hello to the heaviest member in Jesse White Tumbler history!


  4. - Gruntled University Employee - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:03 pm:

    Well this was a bad idea, I should’ve done a smelfie first.


  5. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:04 pm:

    Why do politicians still act as thou we’re still listening to them and seeing them from a crowd hundreds of feet away? This silly pose is cringy, obsolete and forced.


  6. - Gruntled University Employee - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:05 pm:

    Red rover, red rover, send Bruce Rauner over.


  7. - Boone's is Back - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:05 pm:

    “Who wants to see Jesse do a back flip?”


  8. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:05 pm:

    Would JW have endorsed with white male running mate?


  9. - Stones - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:06 pm:

    Jessie White demonstrates the proper jumping jack technique to JB.


  10. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:07 pm:

    “Don’t shoot” … that reminds me …. What I really want to know is did the governor spend our scarce tax dollars in a state police security detail for his travels to Boston?


  11. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:09 pm:

    JW: Do you see the light?

    JBP: The band…

    JW: Have you seeeen the light?

    JBP: Yes! Yes! Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ…I have seen the light!


  12. - 360 Degree TurnAround - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:11 pm:

    “It is not my place to comment on every cartoon or picture that comes from people outside the governor’s office or to tell people how they should feel.

    “I urge everyone to put this picture behind us so we can focus on solving the very real challenges of education fairness and economic opportunity facing our state.”


  13. - interesting - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:13 pm:

    This is perhaps the most valuable political endorsement in Illinois. JB has put together an impressive operation.

    Hillary 2.0

    Red rover red rover send Brucie on over


  16. - Keyrock - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:19 pm:

    Jesse allows JB to be one of the tumblers providing a target, but does not allow him to be the last one jumping over the stack.


  17. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:20 pm:

    Gonna be tough to top 360 Degree TurnAround.


  18. - m - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:22 pm:

    “You thought Republicans sold out fast to Rauner’s money?
    With my money the Democrat party will be replaced by the Pritzkercrat Party before my petitions are due!”


  19. - iggy - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:24 pm:

    “I don’t know where I am, but I know this white boy will feed my tumblers for generations”


  20. - Christopher - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:25 pm:

    Pritzker: “Holds your hands up high so we look like a pretty ribbon.”


  21. - m - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:28 pm:

    “Rauner couldn’t even buy his state party until he was sworn in. I’m closing the deal 8 months before the primary.”


  22. - m - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:30 pm:

    Jesse: “I really like his position on, um , ah, I mean… He’s a real um… [Laughs] Yeah, let’s get serious here, it’s all about the money.”

    Who loves Mike Madigan? We do!


  28. - Gruntled University Employee - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:35 pm:

    Wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care.


  29. - Sic semper tyrannis - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:39 pm:

    JB can only raise one hand above his head at a time……


  30. - Jocko - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:49 pm:

    “Raise your hand, raise your hand if you’re Sure (exclamation point)”


  31. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:49 pm:

    Question: which woman in Illinois politics wears her skirts in the high manner of Mike Madigan?


  32. - Henry Francis - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:53 pm:

    Cropped out of the picture is Madigan above them on the cat walk pulling the strings that raises his puppets’ hands.

    Fake Steven Yaffe.


  33. - wondering - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:56 pm:

  35. - zatoichi - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:01 pm:

    If I raise two hands then my jacket opens a little too much.


  36. - 360 Degree TurnAround - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:04 pm:

    Rich - thank you. An artist, such as myself, must draw upon inspiration from others.


  37. - Quizzical - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:11 pm:

    Governor Rauner: Rep. Stratton, Secretary White, and JB Pritzker join in forming a large celebratory M in tribute to the man who controls them all — Mike Madigan.


  38. - Anon312 - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:26 pm:

    “We bring Jesse out as a prop when we want to win an election.”


  39. - DuPage Bard - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:39 pm:

    And that should seal up the primary for me. Now who do I grab to end the General before petitions even start.


  40. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 5:30 pm:

    Two of the three adults have proper body mass porportional to their age and height. Guess which two.


  41. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 5:32 pm:

    Jesse to J.B. : I am older than Moses and can remember a time when “Stratton” referred to a powerful Republican elected official.


  42. - Ducky LaMoore - Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 6:00 pm:
