Monday, Mar 19, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti and Treasurer Michael Frerichs at Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day parade…  I didn’t give Oswego Willy a trigger warning, but after Friday’s Jason Plummer pic, this might be too much for him. Somebody should probably do a wellness check.

Hey Evelyn,
Why can’t you borrow money from a leprechaun?
Because they’re always a little short.

- Henry Francis - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 11:32 am:
Both the wee leprechaun and the Jolly Green Giant are wearing gloves. Weak.

Had to lend Mike my sash so he’d have one that fit.

Hey look, another picture for the enlightened of Illinois to use as a reason to make fun of the physical attributes of the subject. Nice; real nice. Can’t help but wonder if the comments here and on the Plummer thread would pass as acceptable in your work places.
- wordslinger - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 12:46 pm:

I’m sure such hypersensitivity is the reason you didn’t vote for Trump.

“Mike, if I was as tall as you I’d be afraid to continually fall and sue for damages I can’t recall the amount I won. I might actually hurt myself for real.”

Hey look it’s Mike Frerichs!
- Oswego Willy - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 1:21 pm:
“No, sashes are on the ‘no’ list if I go outside. How anyone can slip and sue with a sash on is beyond me but I’m not allowed one all the same.”

Thank you for speaking up - please share you critiques on Rauner mocking the speaker’s height and Trump’s slight of Carly Fiorina’s face, Marco’s height, etc, etc.
Please school us.

“I know that this parade is only four blocks long but you have short legs. Would you like a piggy back ride?”
- 47th Ward - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 3:11 pm:
Frerichs: That’s it, is it?
Sanguinetti: Yes, that’s it, yes.
Frerichs: It’s not particularly silly, is it? I mean, the right leg isn’t silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.
Sanguinetti: Yes, but I think that with Government backing I could make it very silly.
