    That chair is clearly a very young 76 years old.


  2. - Henry Francis - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:17 pm:

    The apple blossoms are always blooming in Springfield.


  3. - A guy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:18 pm:

    Designed to enhance your size and stature for the petit leader.


  4. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:20 pm:

    Save thirty cents by ordering through Amazon.

    Cha-Ching.


  5. - Stark - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:23 pm:

    Speaker Madigan and the furniture distribution firms he controls.


  6. - Whatever - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:25 pm:

    Order 2 for your office’s lobby and receive a 20% reduction in your property taxes. [Available in Cook County only].


  7. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:25 pm:

    Party Chair Madigan sits in the Madigan chair at the party.


  8. - union proud - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:28 pm:

    Not available to Scott Drury.


  9. - Anonymous - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:28 pm:

    Union made.


  10. - Smitty Irving - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:29 pm:

    Just as the Queen of England’s furniture comes with a hook for her purse, do Madigan Chairs come with a pocket for a Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp and required cutlery?


  11. - Texas Red - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:32 pm:

    would look good in a retirement home - as would MJM


  12. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:36 pm:

    Guess Madigan is color blind?


  13. - JoanP - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:37 pm:

    The Madigan Chenille Chair - Smoke, for when you miss those smoke-filled rooms.


  14. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:38 pm:

    “I have golf pants in that pattern”

    - Tom Cross, Illinois House, 1993-2015


  15. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:38 pm:

    Floral print practically screams “moderation.”


  16. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:39 pm:

    Um, I’m pretty sure that is the Shirley Madigan chair.


  17. - Anonymous - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:40 pm:

    “FREE APPLE with every Madigan Chair”


  18. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:40 pm:

    I thought the “First Bill” coat looked bad…


  19. - Dome Gnome - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:40 pm:

    This was right in style in 1983.


  20. - m - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:41 pm:

    These chairs feature our new, patented, soft but firm memory foam technology which we have trademarked under the brand name “Velvet Hammer.”


  21. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:41 pm:

    “The pattern looks good as curtains…”


  22. - Leigh John-Ella - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:43 pm:

    These are knock offs.
    A real Madigan chair would not be available online.


  23. - Arthur Andersen - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:43 pm:

    “Buy 2-no bid required”


  24. - Earnest - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:44 pm:

    This chair, which few will find attractive, will dominate any room in which you place it. It is incredibly endurable and will withstand years of abuse.


  25. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:47 pm:

    I think Mapes just put in an order for 66 of these.


  26. - Ebenezer - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:04 pm:

    Earnest @3:44
    Win.


  27. - A guy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:06 pm:

    The Madigan Chair in the Austin Powers limited print edition.


  28. - A guy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:07 pm:

    Bed, Bath, Bodega and Beyond.


  29. - Lucky Pierre - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:08 pm:

    The chair will eventually be paid for by some poor soul just wrapping up Kindergarten


  30. - Shytown - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:17 pm:

    Don’t judge a chair by its cover…


  31. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:28 pm:

    The ottoman is just as chic…


  32. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:30 pm:

    “Mike Madigan Chairman Celebration”

    RSVP with Mr. Mapes.

    (Mr. Madigan is registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target, Amazon, and Fred’s Apple Orchard, Spokane, WA)


  33. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:33 pm:

    “The registry says Mike is asking for 12, but only 4 have been bought…“


  34. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:37 pm:

    “I think we’ll pass, what do the candlesticks look like? Maybe a China place setting?”


  35. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:38 pm:

    “Meh. Rauner has that same exact chair… in Carhartt canvas… “


  36. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:40 pm:

    “The hidden cup holder was Mapes’ idea… “


  37. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:41 pm:

    “Can they embroider a state seal on it?”


  38. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:42 pm:

    “Oh no, call back. We’ve had this in stock since 2009… “


  39. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:45 pm:

    “You should see it in clear plastic… breathtaking”


  40. - Lt Guv - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 4:51 pm:

    Dick Mautino & Gordie Ropp would be so proud.


  41. - Quizzical - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:14 pm:

    Review from Amazon shopper Carhartbillionaire - Zero stars — I got this chair for the sitting room of my 6th house — almost immediately this chair caused the plumbing system in the house to emit dirty water. The chair caused the electricity to malfunction. All the food cooked in the house after we purchased this chair was rancid and fattening. $1,000 bottles of wine tasted like Hi-C. The clocks started running backwards. All because of this chair.


  42. - Responsa - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:18 pm:

    As a recommended complement to the Madigan chair please see our Rauner coffee table and companion end tables on p. 21.


  43. - Arthur Andersen - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:35 pm:

    “Also available in the “Pritzker” Big Man’s size for $50 upcharge”


  44. - m - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:42 pm:

    Guaranteed to be the longest lasting chair you ever own.


  45. - m - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:43 pm:

    Looks great next to a rotary phone.


  46. - m - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 5:45 pm:

    It doesn’t have cushions, it has “buffers”.


  47. - Jocko - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 6:04 pm:

    For those uncultured, it’s pronounced “Ack-sent” chair in “Shi-Cog-O”. Make sure to look up customer reviews by T. Soprano and others.


  48. - huh - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 10:36 pm:

    - A guy - Tuesday, Apr 24, 18 @ 3:18 pm:

    Designed to enhance your size and stature for the petit leader.

    Wait. The Speaker is short? Seriously never thought of him as short. Does he only stand near other people of small stature. Apparently I’ve never seen him standing by Rob Uhe for comparison purposes.


  49. - Rabid - Wednesday, Apr 25, 18 @ 7:53 am:

    Best seat in the house


  50. - Rabid - Wednesday, Apr 25, 18 @ 7:55 am:

    madigan accent; flowery language


  51. - Rabid - Wednesday, Apr 25, 18 @ 7:59 am:

    Comes with one leg shorter, to rock your world


  52. - Huh? - Wednesday, Apr 25, 18 @ 8:34 am:

    Wonder how I posted at 10:36pm last night when I was sound asleep. Must be the doppelganger again.
