“I told Bruce he could come down here if he could name the Metro East counties without looking… he said he’d call me me back… that was 2016…”
- Dave Dahl - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:27 pm:
“And the little girl pointed at me and said, ‘Mayor Daley!’”
- Herky - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:28 pm:
“The Aristocrats”

You still don’t have the hands right, JB. It’s like this.

You build bridge after bridge and no one calls you a “bridge builder” but you…
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:30 pm:
“Bruce said if I was smart I’d turn on the Dems and Madigan and work with him to gum up the works. Well, we all saw how that worked for Franks, Dunkin, and Drury… “
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:31 pm:
“I like Sam McCann, I do… I’m just running out of quarters to wind him up… “
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:34 pm:
“Republicans ask me all the time, switch parties, work with Bruce, they say… I say thanks, but I like causing $&@#% problems… “
- People Over Parties - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:35 pm:
“And then I told them I endorsed JB for his policies!”
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:38 pm:
“Being a downstate Dem is tough… not as tough as being Ivy League educated, worth hundreds of millions and pretending you can’t say the letter G…”
- Smitty Irving - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:38 pm:
To keep it clean, all I can say is Hoffman repeats a joke once told by the late St. Clair County Sheriff Mearl Justus.
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:40 pm:
“I’m really Bruce Rauner without the phony costumes, the made-up accent, and about $6-700 million less in the bank”

“A biker, a farmer, and a bidness man walk into a bar…” “All Rauner!” “Stop ruining my jokes, JB!”
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:44 pm:
“There are times I’m sure I would like to vote with the governor but it’s more fun seeing Bruce seethe and whistle Durkin to his office”
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:48 pm:
“Every time I vote against the governor I send a ‘punkin’ to the fairgrounds and have it placed on the Director’s House’s front lawn”
- Rich Miller - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:49 pm:
“I’ll never forget the first time I saw Dick Durbin, standing up on a hill, his hair blowing in the breeze — and he too proud to run and get it.”

So the doctor says “there’s my thermometer! Now where the heck did my pen go?”

…and Rauner says to me, Jay, wait till you hear what else in on those FBI tapes.”

And then after this claim we should put cancer warning labels on liquor bottles, he suggested Congress should ban alcohol ads from TV.

“Wrecked Him”? “Darn near killed him!”
- don the legend - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 4:09 pm:
So I said to Rauner, “JB has plenty of mansions, he’ll just sell that one you fixed up in Springfield and pay some of that interest you racked up.”

“I get no respect. I played hide and seek, they wouldn’t even look for me.”

“Hey everyone, I have a joke for ya……..Rauner.”
- Motambe - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 4:25 pm:
…and then we re-drew legislative district lines for fair and equitable voting!
- A guy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 5:11 pm:
3 guys walk into a bar, a….; well these 3…
- A guy - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 5:13 pm:
Let’s see, who’s gonna grab the check? The guy with his own money or one of us with other people’s money? We’re Democrats. Let’s roll the dice.
- Rich Miller - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 5:20 pm:
That’s “Hoffperson” to you.
- Henry Francis - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 5:31 pm:
