Such a cute and cuddly character.

“Do they have apples out there?”
In a gesture of good will, a Rauner staffer immediately directed Madigan to the governor’s personal apple vendor.

sure — deep fried, cotton candy filled, purple covered apples. $6 each.

MJM hasn’t lost his sense of humor.
It’s a great throwaway.

You like apples Governor? How ’bout THESE apples!

No, no MJM loves everyone including Democrats

Ah, the Sicilian defense. Madigan to Rauner’s e6. Check. And offer the Grimhilde apple.
- Joe M - Thursday, Aug 13, 15 @ 12:41 pm:
Madigan’s routine of eating an apple a day seems to be working. He looks pretty healthy.

Apples were popular fair food when Michael was a boy at the fair. He bought them from Johnny Appleseed himself.

I’m pretty sure that Speaker Madigan manned an apple cart during the Great Depression.
Madigan’s lists are simple.
Things that I have: ties, staffers, apples
Things that I do not have: cell phones

They have road apples, so watch your step, Mr. Speaker.
- A Jack - Thursday, Aug 13, 15 @ 2:55 pm:
Nothing extreme, just apples.
- Wordslinger - Friday, Aug 14, 15 @ 11:48 am:
MrJM beat me to it.
