Rep Lang suddenly realized the line the Governor was feeding him wasn’t Koscher.

I sponsored the bill and was a big advocate for medical marijuana. Now if I can find a doctor to write some prescriptions for certain people in Springfield, on both sides of the aisle, maybe we can get this budget solved.

You put ketchup on your hot dog for crying out loud. Have you no sense of decency, sir?

“Everyone just needs to stop pointing fingers and assigning blame. See, I have eight of them right here that I pledge to not use to lay blame.
Now, with that being said, this is all TOTALLY the Governor’s fault…”

I used to compare Lou to Dilbert’s pointy haired boss. But, alas, the points are now gone.

My right hand, I call “Shutdown”!
My left hand, I call “Showdown”!
That clock, I call “Countdown”!
This political dance, I call “Hoedown”!
My political opponents, I call “Beatdown”!
To Goldberg, I say “Pipe down”!
My razor, it went “Downtown”!
This administration, I say “Burn Down”!
I win this debate, “Hands Down”!
This state is ready to “Close Down”!
To Rauner, I say “Step Down”!
I’m beginning to have a “Break Down”!
So I’ll quit before I “Fall Down”!
So I’m off to speak to “Steve Brown”!
