Question of the day
Wednesday, Sep 5, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller * As state party chairman, Michael Madigan also runs the state delegation’s morning meetings at the Democratic National Convention. Apparently, the delegates don’t obey as much as his House members do…
* The Question: Can you add a thought bubble to Madigan’s constant reminders? Snark is heavily encouraged, of course. Have fun.

Good Morning Delegates. Audience ignores! Mike begs the delegates to listen intently. They respond, “No Mr. Madigan we have already heard all your comments over the past thirty years. We want new blood!”

Ive spent many a day obesrving Represenative sessions at the Capitol. I must say the State Reps all talk and visit while someones speaking. I’ve alsways thought it was rude and disrespectful. And especially when children are visiting it sets a very bad example.

Back row seat 1, you’re official photo will be ugly; seat 2, bad seat at Saputos; seat 3, playing nice, have Mapes send some campaign cash; seat 4, on the border, he’ll get a stern look later; seat 5, totally out of control, I’ll have Cross put up a real opponent against her; seat 6, needs some humbling, have the elevators in the capitol run slowly for him; Second row from back….
