We knew you were coming for a visit today when the holy water turned to Stag beer, and Sister Mary Francis began speaking in tongues about being possessed by The Speaker.
I fixed the Gov’s tweet - no need to thank me
“Great to talk with Archbishop Cupich this morning. I look forward to working him on a wide range of issues!”
Bruce: I want to govern, but Captain Howdy says no.
Archbishop: Captain who?
Bruce: Captain Howdy
Archbishop: Who’s Captain Howdy?
Bruce: You know, I ask the questions, and he does the answers.
Archbishop: Does Captain Howdy look like anyone we know?
Bruce: Yes, he looks like Lisa Madigan’s father.
Archbishop: Does Captain Howdy want term limits?
Bruce: Captain Howdy says “bite me”.
Archbishop: Does the Captain want tax reform?
Bruce: He wants an apple. Captain Howdy says that he wants an apple from the Tree of Power.
Archbishop: Does Captain Howdy want to speak to Rich Miller?
Bruce: Captain Howdy says that Rich Miller already lives rent free in Bruce’s head.
Archbishop: Holy mother of Capitol Fax…
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’”
“By the way, I hear your Springfield campaign office is now a Planned Parenthood. Is there something you would like to tell me, or is this another thing you do not control?”
