  1. - No Longer A Lurker - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:27 pm:

    Somebody, anybody, please shake my hand.


  2. - GlimmerGirl - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:29 pm:

    Hi, I’m Bruce Rauner and I am running for reelection.


  3. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:35 pm:

    “Bruce Rauner. Rush Chairman. Glad to meet you.”


  4. - Anonymous - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:36 pm:

    “I am christening my new Yacht this weekend. Are you doing anything this Sunday, Danny?”

    “No.”

    “Great! How would you like to mow my lawn?

    Mandatory “Caddyshack” humor.


  5. - Jocko - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:36 pm:

    Bruce Rauner…Rush Chairman…Damn glad to meet you.


  6. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:36 pm:

    Thinking: I only need to shake the hands of the unwashed here… and one more place today, thank goodness.


  7. - IllinoisBoi - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:36 pm:

    Hi, does anyone have a tie I could borrow? Anyone?


  8. - Jocko - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:37 pm:

    Jinx!


  9. - Ducky LaMoore - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:42 pm:

    “No I don’t support taco trucks on every corner.”


  10. - John on the spot - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:44 pm:

    Hello. I’m from the government and here to obstruct.


  11. - Ron Burgundy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:45 pm:

    “Are these Democratic plants?”


  12. - Commander Norton - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:46 pm:

    Good afternoon; may I share with you the Gospel of Our Lady of the Remap?


  13. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:46 pm:

    Lance, (Narrating): You know, we always called each other Raunerites. Like you said to, uh, somebody, “You’re gonna like this guy. He’s all right. He’s a Raunerite. He’s one of us.” You understand? We were Raunerites. Hard Core Raunerites. But Goldberg and I could never be outsider Raunerites because we we’re already in on the gag. It didn’t even matter that my tweets to Rep. Lang were epic. To become a member of the outsider Raunerite crew you’ve got to be one hundred per cent fooled… so Bruce can trace your conversion back to the ole campaign. See, it’s the highest honor Bruce can give you. It means you belong to a phoniness and that crew. It means that nobody can mess around with your talking points. It also means you could mess around with anybody else’s facts just as long as they aren’t easily refutable on the spot. It’s like a license to be disingenuous. It’s a license to say anything…


  14. - AlfondoGonz - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:47 pm:

    Is Sandack BVR’s personal driver now?


  15. - Highland Il - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:49 pm:

    Have you seen Jason Plummer around here?


  16. - New Guy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:50 pm:

    Security guy behind Rauner ready for the slightest provocation thinks “Feel lucky punk, well do ya?” while backup rushes around the corner pulling his shades out so he can look cool,too.


  17. - A Jack - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:53 pm:

    “Governor greets imaginary strikers on day two of his imagined strike. ‘I am sure we can resolve this,’ the Governor tells the imaginary strikers, while security pull out their invisible handcuffs.


  18. - Rich Miller - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:53 pm:

    BVR to himself: Is SEIU in charge of mowing the lawn around here or something?


  19. - Annonin' - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:55 pm:

    Hi, I am the guy spending $16 million to get out votes for Republicans in November, but not a single ballot for fellow bizbrain Donald J. Trump. Not one itsy bitsy vote.
    Right. E’ville a good place to try this stunt.


  20. - Annonin' - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:57 pm:

    Here is a better QOTD topic
    September 1, 2016 | 06:04PM PT

    SAG-AFTRA has unionized employees at the watchdog Better Government Association in Chicago with the employees voting unanimously to join the performer’s union.
    First Handout Andy Who is next Proft, IPI? Maybe Capt Fax will use on LDay.


  21. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 12:58 pm:

    “Hello. Are you the person I talk to about boarding up the windows or are you the ’selling of campus assets’ person?”


  22. - Anon221 - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:04 pm:

    You put your left hand in. You take your left hand out. You put your left hand in. And you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey. And you turn the State around… That’s what it’s all about!


  23. - Anon221 - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:05 pm:

    MY bad… right hand. It’s FRIDAY!


  24. - A Jack - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:06 pm:

    “Hi, we need to redistricted you to Missouri. We can’t afford you Madigan-loving, liberal college people in my state. My security here will help you with being redistricted.”


  25. - Touré's Latte - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:06 pm:

    Hello grass? Hi, Governor Bruce Rauner, how are you? I am legalizing grass in Illinois. Did you know that?


  26. - Huh? - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:11 pm:

    Hi, Don’t expect me to treat you to your meal, I don’t pay for anything.


  27. - Big Joe - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:16 pm:

    Hi, I’m Bruce Rauner. As soon as we get some redistricting reform all of your funding problems will go away, Believe Me!!


  28. - A Jack - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:17 pm:

  29. - How Ironic - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:18 pm:

    “People are saying I should extend my hand to be shaken, right before I savage their departments or programs. They love it!”


  30. - Anon - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:19 pm:

    “What a pleasure to shake the hand of the only person I’ve ever met who I can honestly say is smarter, more handsome, more compassionate, and richer than me.”


  31. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:20 pm:

    “Ken! Glad you made it. I know once we close this campus and your guys come in to gut it… “


  32. - Whatever - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:25 pm:

    “if this were my district, I’d mow it.” Will Rogers


  33. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:27 pm:

    Rauner, (thinking): Pleaee no one boo me, please no one boo me on camera. Please.


  34. - Rabid - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:27 pm:

    Surrounded by grass bowls


  35. - NorthsideNoMore - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:29 pm:

    “This here is wheat or grass or some other tall weed. I’m gonna keep on fighting for you !”


  36. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:29 pm:

    “Great to see you, and let me be the first to tell you, closing this campus… it won’t be the end of the world. You’ll thank me… “


  37. - 47th Ward - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:30 pm:

    No Governor, get back in the car. This is SIUE, not SEIU.


  38. - Ahoy! - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:30 pm:

    Hi, Bruce Rauner, darn glad to meet you.


  39. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:31 pm:

  40. - Boone's is Back - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:31 pm:

    “I come hand extended, ready to slap you in the back of your head once you turn around”


  41. - 618er - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:37 pm:

    Seems a bit rude, I guess. I mean those two people actually took time out from their meal to listen to the Governor, the least he could do is face them while talking over them.


  42. - Publius - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:43 pm:

    is that an LTD? wonder how many gallons per mile it gets.


  43. - Winnin' - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:43 pm:

    A waste of his staff’s time. They should be off the clock. Pure politics.


  44. - Joe M - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:47 pm:

    Everywhere I go, thousands of people are waiting to greet me. And I hear things. And what they are telling me is …….


  45. - South Central - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:51 pm:

    “You reach out your hand, but you’re all alone….”

    (From Time Passages)


  46. - Amalia - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 1:52 pm:

    Going beyond the air kiss, Gov. Rauner now touches no one.


  47. - Rabid - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 2:16 pm:

    Holding out for the five finger discount


  48. - pool boy - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 2:29 pm:

    I don’t think this is what the social service agencies had in mind when they asked for a “helping hand”.


  49. - Quizzical - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 2:30 pm:

    What if I told you I have a plan to redraw districts so that candidates coukd run for office and win solely based on the willingness of wealthy plutocrats to bankroll them?


  50. - walker - Friday, Sep 2, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    “We need more competitive districts across the state… er, ah … hello Representative Dwight Kay.”

    They love me here!
