not a campaign slogan but if they were elected, quinn would make out like a bandit. he could walk into any meeting with madigan/cullerton and say pass this or i swear i’ll resign!
I’m going to re-post because after I hit “submit” I realized that it was probably going to get deleted. Very sorry, really. I was just laughing at myself too much to not try.
Quinn / Cohen - We haven’t done anything really wrong in the last 5 years.
1. We know just the person to “massage” those budget numbers.
2. We’ll by “hook” or by “crook.”
3. Hey legislators, at least my “girlfriend” is honest about what she is. She pled guilty.

===We have more to do today than delete your posts.===
How’s that working out for you so far?
I have nothing worthy enough to compete with the wit on display above. Very funny stuff, good work all. I’ll spare the delete key — but man I’ve come up with some good ones and several of us have been e-mailing them off-line.
Rich, have you considered creating an R-rated, password protected section? You could charge admission my friend.
He’s a brainy populist with a blocked agenda…
He’s a brawny pawn broker with a record…
You want change? You want soma dat reform? Pat and Scott’ll give ‘em a deal they can’t refuse…

Pat Quinn voiceover: “My running mate is Scott Lee Cohen, the kind of person even John McCain would have felt compelled to do a background check on. But hey, I had nothing to do with Scott’s selection. I’m just stuck with him. So why not fill in the circle for us anyway — because, truth be told, I sure as hell personally can’t in good conscience elect that jerk to anything. Vote Quinn & Cohen…for pity’s sake.”
I want to THANK all of you and Rich for this string. I’m a Democrat and I’ve laughed so much today at these slogans that I almost hate to see Cohen leave. That being said, “Bye, bye, Scottie.”

I have nothing worthy enough to compete with the wit on display above. Very funny stuff, good work all. I’ll spare the delete key — but man I’ve come up with some good ones and several of us have been e-mailing them off-line.
Rich, have you considered creating an R-rated, password protected section? You could charge admission my friend.

(an image of Quinn in a suit with Cohen standing behind him with his sleeves rolled up, and his open collar & tie thing going on with a baseball bat in hand would help - because Cohen’s gonna bat clean up on his Springfield softball team).

Pat Quinn voiceover: “My running mate is Scott Lee Cohen, the kind of person even John McCain would have felt compelled to do a background check on. But hey, I had nothing to do with Scott’s selection. I’m just stuck with him. So why not fill in the circle for us anyway — because, truth be told, I sure as hell personally can’t in good conscience elect that jerk to anything. Vote Quinn & Cohen…for pity’s sake.”
