Mike Madigan and the pants height he controls

no caption but a question. Is Madigan literally melting through his shoes? His armpits are going to chaffing on his belt shortly.

The incredible shrinking man
Comment by Boone's is Back Friday, Sep 30, 16 @ 2:50 pm
At this rate, by 2020 the Speaker’s inseam and fly will be the same length.

Either the Speaker is shrinking or his pants are growing.

MJM: You know, one day my pants will be pulled up so high I won’t need a shirt. Just long gloves and a dickie.

Madigan’s pants are so high because the young man is giving him a wedgie - that’s why you don’t see his left hand

“…No, he just stands on an end table and jumps in them. Easier to get them on that way… “

Does this mean we’re pants shaming the Speaker?
My bad!

“These are not my pants.” (What I’ve heard is a favorite excuse offered to police when something untoward is found on a suspect.)

Rich, your bing news feed on the left side is promoting all the fake newspapers from Liberty Principles PAC. “Rauner calls for political referendums…”

But is he able to save money by buying his shirts from the boys’ department?

Madigan teaches a young man that the more powerful you become, the higher your inseam must be.

Hey, let’s do this in front of a futuristic painting of….me.

As the speaker aged, the waist of his slacks moved upward, like rings on a tree. By the time he reached his 80th year of life, Mr. Speaker could only converse by unzipping his trouser fly.

I’d switch over to suspenders, but they don’t make ‘em that short.

At least I don’t wear costumes to mislead people that I am one of them.

What’s this fascination with my pants? I’m like most people and wear my belt around my waist. It just happens to be higher than average.

I love this carpet. You can slaughter anything here and it doesn’t show.

I like those pants, let me ask you, where do you find a 24″ waist, 40″ inseam?
Comment by Get a Job!! Friday, Sep 30, 16 @ 3:54 pm
And the best part of these pants is that they come with footies that look like shoes!
Comment by A guy Friday, Sep 30, 16 @ 3:58 pm
Is it kind of funny that not a single person has even inquired as to who the other guy is?
Comment by A guy Friday, Sep 30, 16 @ 3:59 pm
I’d ask you to sit Mr. Speaker but I had to sell all the furniture because of your taxation ! But hey “damn glad to meet ya”

Odd that Rich turned off comments on Munger donation from “Rauner’s pals” but not anywhere else. Could be Rauner has another “bestie.”

He heard that he was meeting with a Hispanic group and he thought “Cholo” pants would help garner support…
