He needs a job and Rauner’s on a hire/fire bender. Perfect match of two humble, self-effacing humanitarians who got into private equity then public service to serve mankind.
oh, a welcome the Mooch thread! describe favorite front stabbing memory in Illinois politics. the worst backstabber in Illinois politics. invite the Mooch to a CapFax event. the possibilities are great!
When I was a kid I remember watching Diff’rent Strokes and there was a character named “The Gooch”. Since I don’t believe he ever appeared as an actual on-screen character, if he follows you on twitter then you’ve hit the mother of all trifectas.
“Tell you what Miller, we coulda had a good life together. Had a place of our own. But you didn’t want it, Miller. So what we got is Brokeback Rauner. Everythin’ is built on that. That’s all we got boy. You are too much for me Miller, you Madigan-worshippin’ liberal.

But, the real question is has Oscar followed you?

Rauner should hire him. White House level talent.

As Tevye said in Fiddler on the Roof, “The Mooch, he knows!”

That’s rarified air… The Looch and The Mooch.
If there ever is a Nooch, protocol would demand the trifecta….

Well that would be Kevin Smith (”Snooch to the Nooch” - Jay and Silent Bob)

Is the Mooch coming to Illinois?
He IS the plumber.

Too fun! He’s an odd one, for sure.
Will he comment?
What would his handle be … “The Real Mooch?”

Be careful Rich. He is a self-admitted front stabber.

He wants to be your new intern.
Mooch is good, but he ain’t no Barton Lorimor. Just sayin’

How does the Mooch even keep track of his feed whilst following over 185,000 other twitter accounts?

If you end up with a Looch, Mooch, Nooch and Gooch, Dr. Seuss is reincarnated. Or so I’ve been told.

Congrats Rich, you have “arrived.” But, the question is “arrived where?” DC politics is another animal.

well, his wife did say he had a growing interest in politics!
