Question of the day
Friday, Apr 14, 2017 - Posted by Rich Miller * Sun-Times political reporter Tina Sfondeles is rapidly becoming one of my favorite people in this business. Sfondeles covered the governor’s non-campaign campaign event in Bloomingdale earlier this week and snapped a pic (click here) of Rauner wearing protective clothing. But Tina had to wear the same outfit… ![]() * The Question: Caption?

Covering Rauner requires certain “precautions” for reporters…

It’s a costume party when you are covering Bruce Rauner

Covering Rauner’s bull is so toxic one has to wear protective gear.
- Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 12:48 pm:
It’s a wash covering Rauner. With Bruce you are required to have themed press availabilities. Pat Quinn, you never got any sleep, covering Pat working day and night…

The precautions covering Rauner are many, but the liability wavers brought upon covering Slip and Sue, that’s the real pain covering the Administration.

The governor says it’s not a campaign event if we wear these clothes.

When you’re an unwittingly Extra on “Dad’s Home State”
“Well, you just never know about an extrie. They come and go. Every one else, I’m on the set, I see the guy setting the 5K I think, Why, there’s old Bud, setting the 5K. Script girl, wrangler, same thang. Extries, that’s different. Not making a blanket call here, I mean, there’s good extries and bad extries. All I’m saying. You look at an extrie, you got no idea what he’s thinking.”
