Just another example of how a certain newspaper elevates our discourse
Friday, Nov 4, 2016 - Posted by Rich Miller * From Rep. McAuliffe’s district…  That’s actually an accurate quote from a Tribune editorial. Sigh. * They’re using this elsewhere, though. For instance…  That one made me laugh out loud for some reason.

Copyright infringement??? Or can anyone just pay enough to use images like that? Pitiful.

Quoting a movie over 15 years old with substandard Photoshopping. Bruce’s millions hard at work…

Honest question. Does this constitute any kind of infringement on New Line Cinema’s movie rights? Does it make a difference that no profit is being made as it is a political message?

He looks less like Dr. Evil and more like a galactic Emperor in that bottom one.

If I’m Mathis, you keep that “one”, that’s just flat out fun.
Ridiculous… but hey, it’s fun.

Clever. But living in the district i can tel you they are usless. Been getting 6 mailers a day for weeks now.
- RIJ - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:52 pm:
RIch, it is hilarious - Madigan and Mathis look like cult leaders in a cheap sci-fi film, and those tiny hands!
- Grand Avenue - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:52 pm:
To be honest, DPI’s mailers are just as stupid but with lower production quality.
- Tough Guy - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:53 pm:
Looks like it’s open season on Mike Mathis. A sheep outfit, puppet strings and now mini-me. They’ve forgotten the bobble head on the end of a popsicle stick. Real classy issue oriented stuff.

The Rauner folks are getting better at Photoshop and at comedy.

The Tribune editorial board is pretty much a seamless operation with the Rauner political shop.

Garbage is all that comes to mind. Literally, it looks like they were pulled from the garbage they look so bad.

Madigan is their issue. He’s their only issue.
- IllinoisBoi - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 4:25 pm:
It’s like a lame parody of lame political ads. Cheap ideas, cheap imagery, cheap execution. Can’t all those Raunerbucks buy some decent ads?
- Dave Dahl - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 4:28 pm:
Does that mean == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t0fZeySNck == is your play-out song today?
- Flynn's mom - Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 4:29 pm:
What the heck??? These ads are getting more ridiculous by the second.

Well we know who Number Two works for now.
But why are they all dressed like Hillary? /s

Not gonna disagree with that, but this one is based on an exact quote from a Chicago Tribune editorial. It’s not about the mailer, the post is about the Tribune.
