“I told Hoffman like 30 times last night that I needed to be home by nine o’clock. Geez, I can barely keep my eyes open. I wonder what’s for lunch? Grilled cheese, I hope. Then maybe a little nappy nap. And some cake. Chocolate cake. Wow, that Urlacher is a cool guy. I wonder if he likes Elvis? I should ask him, but I think I’ll just rest my eyes…. What?! What?! Oh, no! Did I fall asleep? Standing up? I wonder if I snored again. Oh, man, some chocolate cake will be nice after that nap….”

Rep Fritchy…” And I would like to conclude by thanking the Governor’s office for providing the cardboard cutout, as Blago is too busy rewriting some law.”
Think I’ll get me one of those big ole Moose heads to hang over the Capitol Bldg in Springfield. That ought to get them to sit up and show me some respect!
BO: Oh gawd, Fritchey has his pants on backwards.
BU: Is that a zipper in the back of his pants?

Sometimes Illinois’s the coldest state, isn’t it? Isn’t it? I remember one time when I was out campaigning in January it was colder than, colder than, colder than the North Pole? Yeah!
So they must mean me when they say Coldest State, Hottest Governor! Yeah, they must!
Blago: This is the perfect opportunity to tell the story how I boxed the golden gloves as a world champion for the bears while fighting a grizzley bear with a pot on the Alaskan Pipeline….I sure can bring it all together cant I!
