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…


  2. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 12:46 pm:

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


  3. - @misterjayem - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 12:47 pm:

    Illinois politics — don’t wanna get any on ya.

    – MrJM


  4. - Mama - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 12:47 pm:

    Covering Rauner’s bull is so toxic one has to wear protective gear.


  5. - 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…


  6. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 12:50 pm:

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


  7. - A Jack - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:05 pm:

    Just in case the Governor says he needs a hug.


  8. - Michelle Flaherty - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:15 pm:

    The Rauner beat is the Gallagher show of journalism


  9. - Annonin' - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:15 pm:

    Surprised media did not get face masks or breathin’ devices.


  10. - A Jack - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:17 pm:

    Very stylish, but does it come in lavender for spring?


  11. - Three Dimensional Checkers - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:18 pm:

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


  12. - Bogey Golfer - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:22 pm:

    Do these safety glasses come in a smaller frame?


  13. - Baloneymous - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:24 pm:

    Would you like your sloppy joes extra sloppy? Then reelect Rauner


  14. - Anonymous - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:28 pm:

    “But its mid-April. I don’t WANT to wear a Halloween costume.”


  15. - Arthur Andersen - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:31 pm:

    “Oh, this? I’m catching a United Express flight later today and wanted to be prepared.”


  16. - Rich Miller - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:36 pm:

    Take the political beat, they said. It’ll be great for your career, they said. It’s a totally dignified job, they said.


  17. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:39 pm:

    “Hair net or no hair net… “


  18. - Huh? - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:41 pm:

    Additional journalist personal protective equipment included hip boots, respirator and a shovel to dig one’s way out of the pile of BS surrounding 1.4%’s non-campaign campaign.


  19. - City Zen - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:46 pm:

    I’m saving this for the JB Pritzker meeting at Old Country Buffet.


  20. - One to the Dome - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:47 pm:

    The Doctor is In!


  21. - Earnest - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:52 pm:

    I’m heading back in to do more reporting on Illinois politics. Anyone have some Vick’s I can rub under my nostrils?


  22. - Cubs in '16 - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 1:55 pm:

    Scary lunch lady saw you take that extra cookie.


  23. - Amalia - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:06 pm:

    Undercover Angel

    Thunder is your night light Magic is your dream


  24. - Vote Quimby! - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:08 pm:

    Reconsiderin’ my career choice…


  25. - Red Rider - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:11 pm:

    Now that is a real Governor!


  26. - Shytown - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:14 pm:

    Who wore it best? Sfondeles by a mile!


  27. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:15 pm:

    Covering Rauner is like going to a Gallagher Comedy Concert…


  28. - Tired of the Circus - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:24 pm:

    Due to the amount of bovine scatata splashed about by the Bruce, wise people in close proximity take precautions !


  29. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:29 pm:

    “While the Governors are rose colored… “


  30. - 37B - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:34 pm:

    “You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good.”


  31. - don the legend - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:36 pm:

    “Do these glasses make my eyes look big?”


  32. - Wensicia - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:37 pm:

    “I’m dressed for political science.”


  33. - DeseDemDose - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:42 pm:

    Gah! How Cute!


  34. - titan - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:45 pm:

    Preparing to begin the autopsies on the hostages


  35. - Arthur Andersen - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 2:46 pm:

    “And I had the cutest outfit on today.”


  36. - Anonymous - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 3:00 pm:

    Time for your one finger glove test.


  37. - Keyrock - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 3:15 pm:

    Next week Bruce is wearing his cowboy outfit, so I’ll have to wear my Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl clothes!


  38. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Apr 14, 17 @ 4:00 pm:

    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.”
