* Gov. Pat Quinn at the Farm Progress show…

Winner can come to my house for some perfectly grilled sweet corn.

And I know I don’t have to say this, but I will anyway: Keep it clean, people. Thanks. Nobody wants to get banned for life over a silly photo, right?

    Anyway representative holbrooke, like I was saying …


  2. - thechampaignlife - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 6:33 am:

    Catfish was four foot long if he was an inch, I tell ya. So I said to Rahm, this casino business isn’t for the Honest Abe folks of this fine state, a state with so much heart - hey we’re twinsies. But when our fine farmers head out into the field to pour their sweat into a labor of love, that’s why we have to come together to feed the world.


  3. - PublicServant - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 6:50 am:

    I love corn. Without corn, this great state of Illinois would be where it is today. Everybody should eat more corn…except the legislators, they can’t get much more corny, and the fertilizer, no, they don’t need any more fertilizer either.

    “Have I told you I was once named Mr. Soybean?”


  5. - bored now - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:03 am:

    “…and i hear we grow corn THIS big here in illinois!”


  6. - Curious - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:07 am:

    PQ: So how much do you think we can jack up the sales tax on farm equipment?


  7. - Allen Skillicorn - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:11 am:

    PQ - “How do we explain to farmers that higher taxes do a better job of spreading the wealth around?”


  8. - Cincinnatus - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:15 am:

    … and in the third leg of the Triathalon, I ride this red bike right over there…

    Gov. Quinn consults top aides on how to go about getting 10 lbs into a 5 lb-bag.


  10. - Cincinnatus - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:19 am:

    “Hey, if this guy can have embroidery on his shirt, can I have it too? Howza ’bout Gov. Soybean. Or mebbe ‘If found, return to 2nd and Capitol Streets, Sprinfield, IL.’”


  11. - SIUPROF - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:21 am:

    Is that a new casino? See I knew that the gaming bill went too far.


  12. - truthteller - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:22 am:

    And I,m telling you, whoever wins this contest is going to get an ear of corn this big from Miller and an even bigger earful of baloney about me

    “…one of my jobs before getting into politics was in agriculture… I was a County Agent in Hooterville… that’s where I learned my public speaking skills… well, not ‘learned’, exactly..”


  14. - just sayin' - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:32 am:

    Blue shirt and kakis, it’s like the perfect outfit….hey is that one of those Transformers?….maybe you heard, they destroyed Chicago….but as I was saying….


  15. - Amuzing Myself - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:36 am:

    From the cab of the combine, Bill Brady heard saying, “Dammit! Where is the key to this thing!”


  16. - the Patriot - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:52 am:

    “So let me get this straight, there is a bird called a snipe about this big, you will drop me off in a cornfield and I just wait?”

    We both need to loose this much from our waistline.


  18. - Happy Returns - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 7:56 am:

    Governor Quinn appears here in the only known photo connecting a sitting governor with John Kass’s nemesis.


  19. - South of I-80 - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:00 am:

    I swear I didn’t know that combine races were part of the casino gaming package!!! Ok……………what are the odds on the International vs. the Deere??


  20. - Stooges - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:01 am:

    I think Gregor wins with the Hank Kimble reference. Perfect comparison.


  21. - just sayin' - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:05 am:

    Gov. Quinn speaks while the Bi-Partisan Combine looks on.


  22. - Responsa - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:07 am:

    “So, here’s the thing–we need to focus much more on the wonderful citizens downstate and just let that shrimp, what’s his name again, deal with the press and the problems up in Chicago. The Land of Lincoln is a big state, see. We’d be working together kind of like co-governors.”


  23. - wordslinger - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:14 am:

    –“…one of my jobs before getting into politics was in agriculture… I was a County Agent in Hooterville… that’s where I learned my public speaking skills… well, not ‘learned’, exactly..” –

    Love the Hank Kimball reference. Perfect for our rambling governor, whose communication style is beyond satire.

    Green Acres was so far ahead of its time. Every time some Fox blowhard like Hannity or Reilly goes off on the Constitution or Founding Fathers, I’m reminded of one of Oliver Douglas’ impassioned monologues on the American Farmer, delivered while Mr Ziffle and Eb roll their eyes.

    What were those writers on, anyway?


  24. - bored with press - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:14 am:

    Mini-Me, you gotta help me talk about corn. I need to give a speech about corn and farms. C’mon, Mini-Me, use your words like a big boy clone.


  25. - Das Man - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:16 am:

  26. - zatoichi - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:18 am:

    Man, look at this guy. That 14 day Ab-diet does work. He almost makes the uniform look good.


  27. - OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:19 am:

    After three hours of listening to Pat Quinn tie, corn, beans, Abe Lincoln, the state fair, MC Hammer, House Music, barge transportation, roads, Navistar, Dekalb Phiser genetics, the Warren Commission, Boeing, Sears, ComEd, Gaming, Horse racing, the Mississippi, high speed rail, the Citizens Utility Board, a trailer in East St. Louis, Oprah, V-8 and Scott Walker all together in a single rambling set of comments, the skies turned dark and the dead began to rise from the grave.


  28. - Six Degrees of Separation - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:19 am:

    So, the Illinois National Guard bought this big cannon that fires soybean pellets…you know, I was once known as Soy Boy…and I respect the service of our fine women and men in the Reserves…but, you know, Indiana keeps trying to steal our jobs…anyway, we look at as a pre-emptive strike…you know, that little guy from Chicago is a pain in my carcass…but when it comes down to state vs. state, us Illinois boys always stick together.


  29. - OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:20 am:

    Yet again Pat Quinn explains the pile of money he thinks blue shirt and Khaki day will raise at the farm progress show.


  30. - Lefty - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:22 am:

    Until I can get me arms around this governor-thing I just need to keep talking for the people of Illinois. I figure if I talk long enough about nothing everybody will eventually quit listening and paying attention, and that’s when I can really get some things done. What those things are I am not sure but the great people of Illinois will them when they see them.


  31. - Holdingontomywallet - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:23 am:

    “Let me be perfectly clear, I really do believe you would be more disappointed with Brady as governor, really, I’m serious, really…..”.


  32. - BW - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:24 am:

    In order to fit in at the Farm Progress show, PQ drops a can of mints in his front pocket to give the impression of a Skoal ring in his khakis.


  33. - OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:24 am:

    I am thrilled to be here at the farm progress show, sadly, they were not able to have any combines on display.


  34. - Spring - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:25 am:

    Gov. Quinn shows a local farmer his abnormally large thumbs, the farmer tries, but can’t help staring at them.


  35. - anonymoose - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:26 am:

    “Let’s just say I’m a man who wouldn’t know a picker if it bit him in the combine. But go ahead anyway - test my finite knowledge of corn and soy products.” PQ


  36. - in Paris - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:28 am:

    But seriously though, where is all the machinery that is painted green? The kind that’s made right here in Illinois, you know – John Deere?


  40. - former wrmnpolitics - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:33 am:

    Did you know there are 342 commercial uses for a corn cob!


  41. - WazUP - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:36 am:

    “Look Governor Barbour I need a roommate for the next Governor’s conference, that Governor Perry was a real bleepin A….”


  42. - How Ironic - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:36 am:

    Quinn- So basically now I’ve got the regional school superintendents picking cotten for free. Now I do allow them to sing spirituals, would that be a problem in the corn fields?


  43. - Michelle Flaherty - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:41 am:

    Quinn sizes up his competition in the annual “Can you button the top button?” competition.
    Looks like this one’s gonna be one to watch.


  44. - Kerfuffle - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:41 am:

    “So let me tell you about fertilizer. I’ve been in politics a long time so I’m an expert on this. You get a bag about this big and you start spreading it around. Pretty soon, with the help of the fertilizer, those little problems grow into big problems and that’s when things start getting exciting giving me the opportunity to swoop in and save the day! So what around here needs fixing?”


  45. - Kevin Highland - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:42 am:

    So can you tell me about the latest technology in manure spreading…I’m sure it will help me politically.


  46. - MrJM - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:47 am:

    So a “combine” isn’t always the product of John Kass’s mental illness?

    – MrJM


  47. - UISalum - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:54 am:

    Soy Boy bellows boldy to beaming Belleville buddy.


  48. - Hereitis - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:55 am:

    In a Democracy we need corn,we need to educate our young men and women about corn. I once drove a combine that had wheels this big. In a Democracy we need our corn.


  49. - frustrated GOP - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:55 am:

    So do you think they make an electric version of these things. Of course if they were on the highway soon they will be able to charge up.


  50. - GOB - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:57 am:

    Governor Pat Quinn continues explaining a bill signed on August 22nd concerning weight restrictions on state highway travel.


  51. - OneMan - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 8:58 am:

    All you have to do is tell them they need to get paid by the silo, not you and then give them more work to do…

    It’s brilliant!


  52. - McLean Farmboy - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:02 am:

    Illinois Farm Bureau President Philip Nelson listens as Governor Quinn tries in vain to explain his flip-flop-flip on the perennial Red Paint vs. Green Paint debate.

    A third set of fingers can come in real handy when your in the middle of a long rambling story and you have an itch in a certain spot.


  54. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:07 am:

    Well he’s kind of a little fella, so I just grabbed him and held him like this and I said, “whoa, easy there Rahm. I’m not going to let you down until you stop cursing.”

    I mean, c’mon, what with the mouth on that guy?


  55. - WhyMe - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:11 am:

  56. - siriusly - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:12 am:

  60. - siriusly - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:21 am:

    Rahm said I should worry about downstate and leave Chicago alone.

    So what can you tell me about downstate Illinois?


  61. - Gordie Kool - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:22 am:

    So I tells them “If I begin to dress like a farmer, will you guys continue to vote for me?”


  62. - Anonymous - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:31 am:

    That’s a big red machine. I had a big red machine once. It was a Radio Flyer. You could say I was on the wagon, not a hay wagon, but the kind of wagon that was made right here in Illinois, founded by an Italian immigrant. And immigration is what made Illinois great. The people, where they came from, where they are going and what they will do when they get there . . .


  63. - 1776 - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:34 am:

    ,,,and Bill Brady never recovered downstate once I gave myself the nickname Soy Boy….it allowed me to win a county or two downstate…


  65. - Lulabell - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 9:39 am:

    If we had big machines like that in Chicago maybe it would distract Rahm from all the casino stuff

  70. - Suburbs - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 10:06 am:

    What was I thinking letting the Governor talk me into dressing like him and walking with him in front of this huge Combine just so he can get in on another of Miller’s caption contests!


  71. - Fed upi - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 10:09 am:

    Rham just sent me a fish it was this big. See he ain’t a bad guy. I think it was a peace offering. There was a note about sleeping with the fishes. He knows I need to get more rest.

    “Now I know the head on the combine is for taking out soybeans, but I remember when I was campaigning somebody told me that there used to be a conversion kit for blackberries on old Massey 510 grain heads. It had rubber paddles on it and the augur on the head was also rubber so the blackberries wouldn’t be smashed. The guy said that it was a life saver and he didn’t get scratched up by thorns as bad when they used it. Do any of these have that kind of option?

    In a final attempt to convince the judges why he shouldn’t be disqualifed from the Downstate Triathlon for using a combine–instead of participating in the three separate events of reaping, thrashing, and winnowing, Quinn threatens to show one of the judges the framed photograph he has in his pocket of Emanuel in his pink cap at the Chicago Triathlon.

    Quinn was immediately declared the winner.

    When I was a boy, I drove a tractor. Sitting on that tractor I dreamed of being an attorney to help people like the soldiers. Soldiers who should come home from Iraq and work here in the greatest state where they can buy homes and cars. I had a neat 57 Chevy years ago. The number 57, that’s one of the Fire units in Chicago. Boy, would I like some corn. We have great corn. I want to look into financial derivatives. We could tax transactions on derivatives to produce ethanol. I like scotch. Can you make scotch from ethanol? Hold it, when did that tractor get here?


  102. - What's in a name? - Wednesday, Aug 31, 11 @ 4:48 pm:

    You know, those ears of corn look this long, I could eat two or three ears of that wonderful sweet corn, especially if Rich Miller grilled it, but anyway, khakis and blue shirts are great for farmers to wear, or at least agriculture people, like me, because I am Soy Boy, those soybeans are wonderful, and the Land of Lincoln grows the greatest soybeans and corn, I talk about it all the time when I meet those city folks who don’t know anything about farming, boy I sure would like to ride one of those big tractors, or those harvesting things, those are huge machines, but you know they are made right here in Illinois, at least the green and yellow ones. Being in the country is just great - too bad there aren’t more voters here - if there were I could carry a few downstate counties in 2014, and ……….
