Today’s quote: No sleep ’til Brooklyn
Thursday, May 3, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller * Gov. Pat Quinn spoke yesterday to a couple of business groups and had this to say about the urgency of fixing the state’s pension and Medicaid problems and the need to get it done during the spring legislative session…
The governor previously said about the pension problem: “I know that I was put on earth to get this done.” So, I suppose when you’ve discovered your life’s main mission, you don’t sleep until you accomplish it. * Related… ‘Cause I’ll be rocking this party eight days a week

If Pat goes 29 days without sleep it will be like he is channeling Mike D

Quinn should start issuing the Special Session notices now. Starting with Memorial Day weekend.

The Governor and Speaker are playing a version of Good Cop / Bad Cop with state employees, unions, and retirees. The only problem I have is figuring out who the “Good Cop” is….

‘Our Governor’s crazy; his speeches hodge-podge, he’s got his own room at the Super 8 Lodge!’

I can think of a couple other Beastie songs that could come into play here, Like “Sabotage” and “So Watcha Want?”

On location — yes I’m at the mansion
P Quinn never gonna take vacation
Itchy politician with a reformer’s label
Talk is what I do best because I’m really not able
Ain’t no faking–your money I’m taking
My pension plan has state employees shaking
While they were at the job working nine to five
P Quinn with the press corps — cold kickin’ it live
No sleep till tax cuts.

I’m with Montrose.
“Funky Boss” comes to mind here…
Funky boss, funky boss
Funky boss, funky boss
Funky boss, funky boss
Funky bald ass boss

Dont forget the BB album “Check Your Head”… might have some applicability here too.
Well played Rich.

Why are pensions and Medicaid mentioned together? They are not the same thing. One is earned over years and years of working. The other is a handout for not working.
