Relieved, Gov. Rauner acknowledges applause from two gentlemen in the back, the only people in attendance not choking on the insult of being crassly used to further the Rauner agenda: old friends Mayor Emanuel and Quinnochio.

Lol, Guilty as charged Word.
I thought I getting kind of close to a Godwin’s law violation (not my intent at all). And I almost wrote “original German,” which would have been a better give away.
But yeah, Buchanan’s 1992 blockbuster speech will remain one of my all-time favorites. It practically gift-wrapped the election for Clinton.
