    You build bridge after bridge and no one calls you a “bridge builder” but you…


  6. - 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… “

  11. - 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.


  12. - 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”

    “it’s punkin’ head. Not potato head.”


  15. - Anonymous - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:43 pm:

    “A biker, a farmer, and a bidness man walk into a bar…”
    “All Rauner!”
    “Stop ruining my jokes, JB!”


  16. - 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”


  17. - 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”


  18. - 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.”

  26. - don the legend - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:55 pm:

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


  27. - Al - Thursday, May 3, 18 @ 3:55 pm:

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