Does that make the front row the Ohio River?

Did Pat Quinn deem this worthy enough to attend?
I’m presuming Bruce Rauner will show more character than his predecessor and attend today’s inauguration.

Wow. I haven’t seen Jesse in awhile. He’s not looking good.
I concur that the stage looks really cool.

Jesse looked pretty peppy on the tube.

The ceremony will focus on the northeast corner of the stage, as is tradition.

Did the new governor just compare the Rauner Era to the Great Chicago Fire?
- efudd - Monday, Jan 14, 19 @ 12:09 pm:
It would appear that someone is actually proud of being Governor of the state.
Refreshing.
