54 Comments - Ron Burgundy - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm: “We are not involved.” - Christopher - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm: No need to wait until Halloween for a scary movie. See “Jeanne Ives… Madigan’s Favorite Candidate,” coming to a theatre near you on March 20th. - Pritzker Plumbers Inc. - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm: Ives: “Don’t worry, Mr. Speaker, I know you’re in charge. Also, send Local 150 my love for the campaign cash.” - Roman - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:05 pm: Jeanne Ives…Madigan’s Favorite Candidate. A totally fictitious comedy farce. - Acadian Driftwood - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:06 pm: Critic’s choice award winner. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:06 pm: (Whispers) “Boo…” - The Old Professor - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:07 pm: 1. Mike Madigan fired his agent for not getting top billing. 2. They missed the tag line: “Just when you thought it was safe to read your mail ….” or maybe “You can Rauner, but you can’t hide.” - Deadbeat Conservative - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:08 pm: “Vote No against payin’ your bills. Rated NC 17 for No Cash and a $17 billion dollar bill backlog.” - RNUG - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:08 pm: Strange Bedfellows … starting Mike and Jeanne - slow down - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:09 pm: Are Republican primary voters likely to buy this silliness? - Terry Salad - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm: I’ve seen the ads, too. All Rauner can do is say that Ives is part of the vast Madigan empire/conspiracy against him? Lame. My reaction: Dude, is the ANYTHING you don’t blame on Madigan? - Galena Guy - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm: And Ron….does that also extend to the police and firefighters unions? - Downstate - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm: Ives: “I’ve something to tell you.” MJM: “Please let it be about property taxes!” - A guy - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm: Whisper: I’ve got a poll that shows us workin’ together. Get used to the idea. - Arthur Andersen - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm: “Rated -13% by Rotten Tomatoes” - Rich Miller - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm: ===ANYTHING you don’t blame on Madigan? === The weather… I think. - Anonymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:13 pm: Rated BBB- - Rich Miller - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:14 pm: “You know you don’t have to act with me, Mike. You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Mike? You just put your lips together and… blow.” - Man with a plan - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:15 pm: If taking money from Chicagoland Operators makes her a puppet, Rauner probably doesn’t want to look at the rest of the Republican House or Senate caucuses… - Rabid - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:16 pm: Rauner wants democrats pulling a GOP ballot for Jeanne - Pundent - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:17 pm: I draw my inspiration from commenter Ron Burgundy. Mike Madigan connection - 60% of the time it works every time. - don the legend - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:17 pm: I figure the BTIA is telling Rauner that a mailer a day like this is bound to get his favorables up to at least 30% - @misterjayem - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:18 pm: Typical Hollywood: The public is clamoring for something fresh but Rauner trots out another sequel in his MJM horror franchise. Yawn. (Gotta admit, I’m surprised he cast Jeanne Ives as the ‘Bride of Madigan’.) – MrJM - Rutro - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:21 pm: Punching down, not good for Bruce. - Baloneymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:26 pm: Like Water for Apples - Baloneymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:33 pm: The Salmon Whisperer - Anonymous - Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:35 pm: M.
