Today’s quotable

* Tribune…
Minnesota U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison has reached out to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan about his bid to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee and plans to do so soon with Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
But speaking to reporters prior to a Sunday rally of progressive Democrats on his behalf in Lincoln Park, Ellison also said he’s gotten no commitment from Madigan, the state’s Democratic chairman, though he said the House speaker is someone “who I admire tremendously.”
You don’t see that every day.
So, now I assume the SJ-R, the Belleville News-Democrat and the Chicago Tribune will firmly oppose Ellison’s candidacy?

It’s like the Sox fleecing the Nats with Adam Eaton. “Out of town stupid” as they say in the radio world.

I firmly respect the person who actually has a vote for the office I seek. Pretty basic.

Did you forget the stooges at ILGOP, IPies, Northwest Herald, Edgar County whatevers

Can’t be that surprising. He’s got about 12 State Chairman to call. Once you’re done with a few coastal calls, you may as well call the Blue pond in the middle.

12? try 57 Chairmen.

Cong Ellison needs to learn on thing “we don’t want nobody that nobody sent”

Sure. He call all their assistants too. And the guys who change the water bottle on the cooler.
