Caption contest!
Monday, Oct 22, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * This photo, which you’re gonna have to click here to see because I just can’t bring myself to post, was featured in both the WTTW documentary on Gov. Bruce Rauner and Mike Flannery’s most recent “Fired Up” episode about the governor. WTTW’s Pritzker documentary is here, by the way. …Adding… Apparently, the WTTW documentary used a different photo of a shirtless Rauner.

Diver Bruce
In Illinois there’s adventure and danger
That’s where you find Diver Bruce
The politics he uses are devistating and stranger
Due to hostage taking, lies and abuse.
He moves along creatures
With frightening features
Big money, big waisted tax schemers
Big Speaker and Mendoza-ish dreamers
He protects and he saves his friends from the “Blue Wave”
That’s where you’ll find Diver Bruce
