Caption contest!
Friday, Aug 5, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller * The perennial recipient of our “Best Legislative Insider” award, Mike McClain, was roasted in Quincy the other night…
McClain has won the insider award so many times that I’ve decided to name it after him next time around. * Here’s a photo from the event… ![]() I’ll announce the names of all of this week’s caption contest winners at the end of today. Have fun.

Dozens of keyboards across Illinois are pounded by fists frustrated that that smile and the “pile of bodies” comment makes adhering to Rich Miller’s keep-it-clean rule impossible.

I am never any good at these captions anyway but the last guy I would write something funny about is McClain. Somehow he will find out who actually posted it. And he will then have the last laugh.

Good point, BT. lol

Somehow being the Best Legislative Insider in Illinois and also being the nice guy Mike is seems oxymoronic. Only Mike could pull that off.

Did you see how awkward Rahm looked when he was on the birthday stage with President Obama. Everyone was so much taller. Heck even I’m taller than the Mayor.
