Monday, Apr 4, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller * We haven’t had one on this guy in a while. But he’s inching himself back into the game, so let’s put him back in play. Kurt Erickson reported over the weekend that state Sen. Bill Brady is cranking up the fundraising again…
The piece was about Brady sponsoring a bill to allow beer sales at Illinois State University’s golf course. Anyway, Brady Tweeted this photo today from a panel discussion with the Illinois Partners for Human Services… Winner gets a free “premium” beverage from me at this year’s House vs. Senate softball game, which I’m once again proudly co-sponsoring.

You’ll have to excuse me for a moment. I just got off the back nine at ISU, and like they say, you don’t really buy beer, you only rent it.

He’s running for Secretary of State

I get these sharp pains when I think how in the best Republican environment in my lifetime that I couldn’t beat a guy who promised to raise taxes and who was the former running mate of a convicted felon.
- Rich Miller - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:09 pm:
Now, see, if we had concealed carry you wouldn’t have to worry if I made a motion like this with my left hand because I’m right-handed. However, if I switched hands, better duck.

You know last year when I played the course I had to drink milk and by the time I hit the 18th hole it had soured and really upset my stomach. Beer never does that.
- How Ironic - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:49 pm:
So then I see Caesar put his hand over his stomach like this and say “Et tu, Brute”, and then keel over. And I was like “Man, I gotta get into politics!”
Granted, it was nothing like when I rode into battle with Teddy R, but it was still cool.
So if there aren’t any questions I’ve got to go prep for my Mars landing in 2 weeks.
- Rich Miller - Monday, Apr 4, 11 @ 12:51 pm:
How Ironic, this is Bill Brady, not Mark Kirk.

This is what happens when you actually eat all the mystery chicken dinners on the campaign trail … you end up bloated just like state government. … I pledge to solve that problem if you elect me next time …

“I like a single-breasted button coat. That is no secret.
What some of you may NOT know, is that with single breasted coats, you may not be quicker to get your ‘heater’ than with the double-breasted coats.
It’s a ’style’ choice, for me, to wear a single-breasted coat. I feel very confident I can get to my sidearm in either.”

“I went up to John Cullerton, very quiet-like …put my hand about here and as he sat at his desk on the senate floor.
I whispered, ‘You aren’t going to draw me out of the map, are you Johhny? I have one question for you if you do … do you feel lucky, punk? Do you? …’
So I feel pretty good about having a safe seat…”

To run or not to run! That is the question.Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous campaign promises
or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
and by opposing everything end them?
