Tired of playing Hi Bob and because their cable bill never got paid, the Springfield press corp devised a new game. They drink everytime the Governor tells a lie. Needless to say, they are never sober.
Newsflash: Fat, white guys get together and drink beer. And, No, it is not the GOP county chairmen!!!
(P.S. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out that the guy I thought was Rauschenberger is actually Doug Finke… I was really confused on why Rauschy would be there with those guys…)
The Statehouse Press Corps drown their sorrows after discovering a sudden loss in the Press Corps Entertainment Fund. Spokesperson Doug Finke said, “I told you guys we shouldn’t let Filan invest the money.” Fund trustees Rich Miller and John O’Connor could not be reached for comment.
YAAARRRRR! A silver mug of hot buttery stool from the Springfield press corps for anybody who will lick Finke’s armpit! (In honor of “Talk like a pirate day, which I missed — yaaarrrrrr!)
Gee Aaron looks like he is witnessing Blago referencing Elvis for the 1,000,000th time - lost count! Finke has his characteristic “smile”. Press Corps having fun without a politician in sight to razz - PRICELESS.

Here are the only government employees in all of State government that have not been investigated, placed on a hiring list, worked politics to get ahead or violated some type of rule.
In order to get rabid press corps off his back over “the check,” Governor Blagojevich grabs a camera, sends over some free beer, and asks the press corps fellas to smile great big smiles so he can send the pictures to two Scandinavian penpals named Inga and Svetlana, both twins.
Johnny, Raab, Jess, Steve-O, Bam, Preston, Phil, Ryan Dunn, Wee-Man, and Party Boy Pointus sip beers while discussing the soon to be released, Jackass 3.
