State Treasurer Dan Rutherford (R, at left) gives his opponents in the upcoming gubernatorial race easy fodder for campaign ads by copying a similar campaign photo once released by Barack Obama.
One is overly large, plastic, fits in by lore, hollow, comically drawn, but taken seriously by true believers, and puts itself on a pedestal … and one is a statue of Superman.
Illinois ain’t ready to see me in the whole outfit, so I’m breaking it out one accessory at a time. I’m growing my bangs, so by the time I’m wearing everything including the red boots, I’ll be able to dipsy doo a little a hair curl on my forehead.
“Now, a staple of the super candidate mythology is, there’s the super candidate and there’s the alter ego. Bruce Rauner is actually Payton Prep Clouter, D-Lard is actually Kirk Dillard. When that character wakes up in the morning, he’s Kirk Dillard. He has to put up Dopey signs to become D-Lard. And it is in that characteristic Rutherford stands alone.
Rutherford didn’t become “Super” Dan Rutherford. Super “Dan” was born Super “Dan”. When Super “Dan” wakes up in the morning, he’s Super “Dan”. His alter ego is Dan Rutherford. His Golf Shirts with the big “Dan Rutherford for Governor” – that’s the clothes his Campaign Staff makes him wear. The Super “Dan” Ego, those are his “real clothes”. What Dan Rutherford wears – the golf shirts, the khakis – that’s the costume. That’s the costume Super “Dan” wears to blend in with us…”
Dan Rutherford is how Super “Dan” views us. And what are the characteristics of Dan Rutherford? He’s pandering… He’s overly gratuitous… He’s a candiate who tries way too hard to relate, and makes himslef look superficial… fake.
Dan Rutherford is Super “Dan’s” critique on the whole Campaign business…”
comment: I appreciate that we have a candidate who doesn’t take himself too seriously. I’ve met Dan on several occasions and I just can’t help but like the guy.
Why yes I do have x-ray vision but I swear I only use it to watch Mike Madigan in his office. For some reason I really enjoy watching him slice that apple and I will leave it at that.
“And what are the characteristics of Dan Rutherford? He’s pandering… He’s overly gratuitous… He’s a candiate who tries way too hard to relate, and makes himslef look superficial… fake.”
^^Sorry Idk why it only put the quote, supposed to say:
“And what are the characteristics of Dan Rutherford? He’s pandering… He’s overly gratuitous… He’s a candiate who tries way too hard to relate, and makes himslef look superficial… fake.”
I think most of us presume that Dan R. put up that picture to show he does not take himself seriously, so, why shouldn’t we go along with the program and have some fun? I’m expecting Dan to log in and post a caption! (Perhaps he already has!)
It’s become abundantly clear that some things can’t be made funny. Unless you use the four letter words in your comment. Which I am sure would cause them to not win.

Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I’m such a wreck but I’m staying alive
[Look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]
Hey girl we’ve got to get out of this place
There’s got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were Superman then we’d fly away
I’d really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it’s in
I’m too weak, I’m so thin
I’d like to fly but I can’t even swim
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman

Dan Rutherford, mild mannered politician for the State of Illinois, dashes into the phone booth and starts to change into Superman.
A cop comes up and says, “What are you doing in the phone booth?”.
Dan says, “I’m changing clothes, officer”.
The cop says, “you can’t change clothes in a phone booth, come out of there”.
Dan says, “I’m Superman, can’t you see the red “S” on my chest?”.
The cops says, “I’ll give you a red S, and a black eye if you don’t come out of that phonebooth”.
