Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (right)is depicted on a sign featuring a greedy, over-the-top cartoon character known for his miserly and heartless behavior.

On the other side it’ was a “support state workers” sign. (Actually 2 taped together.)

And someone in camo is holding the sign! Gasp! Bruce, you’ve lost your core constituency!

It would be beyond awesome if the hands weren’t photoshopped. Either way, the resemblance, physically and literally, is uncanny.

it should be a picture of AFSCME Union next to Burns… They are the greedy ones here.
Comment by Allen D Friday, Feb 5, 16 @ 9:26 am
I’m worried that picture is actually an insult to Mr. Burns…

“Some voters respond to my integrity, others are more impressed with my incorruptibility. Still others buy my determination to lower taxes. And the bureaucrats in the state capital can put that in their pipes and smoke it!”
Comment by The Velour Nail Friday, Feb 5, 16 @ 9:27 am
It seems some here think it is fine to insult average folks angry over their governor. Governors don’t need protecting, they work for those average folks. Montgomery Burns has never played an elected official because the good folks of fictional Springfield know he is incapable of doing the right thing for them in office.
The real folks of Springfield were played by Rauner and now they are angry that as governor, Rauner is allowing their state to struggle, just to get a political win.
Rauner suffers by comparison to Burns, as a result.

You do know that Rauner is worth north of $600,000,000 - yet you call your neighbors greedy?
How could anyone know this and write such daft crap?

If Rauner is Mr. Burns then who is Smithers?

Someone should recruit 500 people to wear Carhartt and carry this sign . . .

VM, I’ve come to the conclusion Allen D is nothing but a troll with a handle.

The Rauner/Burns comparison is hilariously accurate and needs to stick.
Also, @Allen D. *yawn* quit trolling.

Montgomery Burns and Smithers alleged love child is pictured on the left. Burns denies the allegation though. “No offspring of mine would speak so poorly,” Burns replied in response in a question regarding Smither’s paternity suit. “However, I like what that guy has done to the poor,” Burns remarked as he left the court house.

If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it’s your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift, or the jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well I say “Cheating is the gift man gives himself.”

Ironic, isn’t it, Trover? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes almost cost me the election. And yet, if I were to have them killed, I would be the one to go to jail. That’s democracy for you.

==Montgomery Burns has never played an elected official==
He did (early on in the series) run for office…until Marge brought him down with the three-eyed fish for dinner. She made him eat it, and he spit it out. “(Burns) was dead before it hit the floor.”
