Word — There are people old enough to vote who weren’t born when Thompson left office. Not to mention all the people who have moved here since 1990. I had forgotten Thompson had done the slide until it was mentioned here. I think it’s a cute hit for Rutherford — and if it makes people remember Thompson, I don’t think that hurts Dan.

Later Pat Quinn’s administration announced that the staff of the slide was too busy to talk to reporters or let Judy go down.

Illinois as a Giant Slide. Ah, such a metaphor.
Shoulda had a dunk tank at the end. That way, DR could have been plopped into a vat of red ink. Ah, such irony.
I’m outta here.

Due to the associated dangers, reporters will not be allowed to tour the Giant Slide facilities.

Don’t laugh he walked up those stairs. Nice to see
him having a good time.

Gotta hand it to Dan. He is going page by page of the “My Run for Governor” manual. Next time, cite Jim Thompson …
