Every once in a while this happens in the capitol basement women's bathroom. Laden with metaphors about state government waste. pic.twitter.com/uykvw37TXJ
A Democrat and a Republican walk into the bathroom. As they finish their business, the Republican starts to wash his hands while the Democrat heads for the door to leave.
“In the Republican Party, we teach our members to wash their hands afterward,” says the GOP Rep.
“Oh yeah,” replies the Dem. “In the Democratic Party we learned not to &%$$ on our hands.”
Metaphor for Gov. Rauner who is just a helpless victim, too, unable to do anything to fix the state’s problems.

1. A new definition of a roll call.
2. This just in: Hannah Meisel has confirmed that the State of Illinois finally is throwing in the towel.
3. Now revealed: the secret place where the Rules Committee actually sends bills.
4. Check the flip side: actually, it’s a printout from Mendoza’s office. Of unpaid bills. From this past half hour.
5. Mr. Speaker, I assure you. There is no malware in any of our automatic shredders. All of your memos are reduced to atoms! And for extra protection, we flush everything down the women’s toilets in the basement!
The work I do every day as a public employee of the State of Illinois until the body politic accepts they need to raise enough revenue to pay their bills and invest in their future.

They have automatic toilet paper dispensers in the women’s restroom?

That’s better than many State office buildings where they don’t even get paper towels.
