Did the Governor name these Democrats that agree with him… or were any Democrats standing around him when he said it?” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:46 am: “Memorial Day? Usually I’ll grill some apples… ‘Never had them’, they’re delicious…” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:47 am: “I’ll just keep passing things and sooner or later we may get lucky on accident and the governor will sign it… “ - Lucky Pierre - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:47 am: That part about working cooperatively and professionally with the Governor and solving this through a combination of cuts and revenues, well how about no cuts and 3 billion more in spending than last year. He said what he said last year but his finger were crossed behind his back. - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:47 am: “What did Franks say now?” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:49 am: “Really?… Drury was a federal prosecutor… Interesting… “ - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:53 am: “Oh, if I have to choose one or the other? The ‘Fire Madigan’. The ‘Obey’? Obey sounds like Pig Latin, and what’s silly word, ‘Obey’… so ‘Fire Madigan’… “ - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:54 am: “To be honest, we’ve all had better days, amirite?” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:55 am: “No, Scott Lee Cohen knows how I feel about his talk about a comeback… “ - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:56 am: “Gov. Quinn, this is for the Press who have questions… “ - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 11:56 am: “Where’s that Hooting coming from?” - Anonymous - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:06 pm: after 30 years of control this this should easier - Anonymous - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:07 pm: MJM—”I simply said that to see how many posts Willy could make in one day on one thread. My guess is > 100.” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:08 pm: “No, let the Raunerbot talk… 30 years… Rules Illinois… Need to Fire him… No… go on… You want me to tell you the ones you forgot?… “ - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:10 pm: “Yeah, I can pick a name, no problem… I dunno why people can’t pick a name… Well, that’s probably true… “ - Mama - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:13 pm: I see the light… only red lights! - Anonymous - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:14 pm: Willy’s “Comment Turrettes” flares up again. Ha! - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:15 pm: “I don’t know why anonymous people troll for no reason. They can’t think of a name, that explains a lot of it I guess… “ - Anonymous - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:28 pm: Good one - Huh? - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:34 pm: When has the governor ever said anything that would change my mind? If has gotten to the point, when the governor says “Nice day, isn’t it?” that I check the weather because I have learned from experience that he operates in the extreme and I don’t know if he is making a political speech to some high school students. - lech w - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:36 pm: I guess it really is true that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time - Arthur Andersen - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:42 pm: “I have no idea who that fellow Anonnin’ might be. Next question.” - Rich Miller - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:45 pm: AA wins. - cdog - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:46 pm: “… the Governor fails to persuade. I am preparing to present a coherent and persuasive argument, beyond my normal world salad of “protect the middle class,” as to why the TurnAround agenda is unnecessary in its entirety for Illinois…..” (My actual hope is that MjM will solidify his upper hand on this and pick a few items worthy of a Democratic/Progressive Reformation that helps all of the middle class, including small business owners, property owners, etc…The CA on the progressive tax structure was a great start, just got blown out by book cookers.) - cdog - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:50 pm: “When I am persuaded, the Governor will be announcing his revenue proposals and wants to sponsor them–Rauner Retirement Tax, Rauner Income Tax, Rauner Service Tax. We have a working group to set the price for this honor of naming rights. He’s loaded so of course the open bid will be quite substantial.” - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 12:53 pm: - AA - wins, I laughed out loud funny. - illini - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 1:52 pm: Keep it up, Willy - you are on a roll!!!! - BigBob - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 1:54 pm: I think any grand deal, if even possible, will have to come in an overtime session. That is the only way to guarantee republicans will have to put a lot of votes on a deal to pass. Until then, this is just the usual theater of the absurd. - Formerly Known As... - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 2:03 pm: @AA - amazing. Close the post. Not even trying after that lol. - Oswego Willy - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 2:06 pm: - BigBob - That’s an unusual caption, but ok. - illini -, We’re all playing for 2nd, - AA - won - Wensicia - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 2:07 pm: “The worst part was Rauner insisting Cullerton and I squeeze into small grade-school desks while the GOP leaders got leather chairs.” - Rabid - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 2:13 pm: Head negotiator - Rabid - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 2:48 pm: Goldberg will be out with your biscuits soon - the Cardinal - Monday, May 30, 16 @ 4:32 pm: Meeting on 2 or 2 1/2 ? Tell the Gov I will be on the 3 if he lookin for me. Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
