* From a very reliable person who lives in Chicago…

I was walking to work and see this guy standing on the curb yelling into his phone. Look over. It’s Bruce and Diana. He has crutches and a scraggly beard. He looks disheveled. And he keeps correcting someone on the other line and yelling his address into the phone.

The former governor was standing outside his apartment building when he was spotted yesterday. I had heard he’d injured his ankle.

* Meanwhile, Mrs. Rauner was spotted at the governor’s office in the Thompson Center yesterday…

    Hi, is Governor Pritzker available? The Ounce could use another one of his generous donations.


  2. - Norseman - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:30 am:

    JB, this is your fault so you got to give me a job to get out of the house. Bruce has been so crabby since the election.

    Who do I give my resume may to?

    Thank you for having a budget.

    “Tell the governor the person who created ‘Operation Bury Bruce’ is here. He’ll know…”


  7. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:32 am:

    “Bruce is fine… it’s the voices in his head that need help… “

    “No, no. I’m Diana. The rational one.”


  10. - Lucky Pierre - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:34 am:

    Slow news day if an unshaven, Ex Governor is seen talking loudly on a cell phone on a busy Chicago street is “news”

    So much for the fake news that he moved out of the state


  11. - Steve - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:34 am:

    People confuse me with Anne Stava Murray all the time.


  12. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:35 am:

    ===Slow news day===

    Yep.


  13. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:35 am:

    “That check for The Ounce… we were wondering if the governor could make that a yearly thing, like an EFF… “


  14. - Shark Sandwich - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:35 am:

    – MrJM


  17. - Huh? - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:35 am:

    I’m sorry Mrs. Rauner you picked the wrong candidate to back for governor. Even though your experience exceeds the minimum qualifications for custodians, we wouldn’t hire you for any job in state government.


  18. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:35 am:

    “No, I’m still a Democrat.”


  19. - Grand Avenue - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:36 am:

    I want photographic confirmation of the #BruceBeard


  20. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:36 am:

    “Mrs. Rauner, haven’t you done enough damage, now you want a state job?”


  21. - Wensicia - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:36 am:

    “Excuse me, my husband left his meds in the desk drawer. We desperately need them, right now.”


  22. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:37 am:

    “Yeah, The Ounce folks figured out I was a phony so I’m kinda looking for other challenges… “


  23. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:38 am:

    We’re still looking for Bruce’s lost mojo. This was the last place he had it, roughly four years ago. Would you mind if I check the couch cushions again?


  24. - Grandson of Man - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:38 am:

    Hi, I’m Diana Rauner, a Democrat. Bruce sent me here because he can’t make it and can’t let go of the place. He’s been in terrible shape since losing and was so angry this spring that he kicked the trashcan van.


  25. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:38 am:

    “Oh no, you should close *more* social services. It’s a business decision… “


  26. - Graham Bell - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:39 am:

    Bruce was talking to a call center in Bangalore trying to pronounce his address in Italy.


  27. - Nick Name - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:39 am:

    “No, he wasn’t yelling at traffic, just his cell phone.”


  28. - Quizzical - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:40 am:

    My husband can’t find his Fourth of July costume and he’s going crazy trying to find it. Did he leave it here?


  29. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:40 am:

    “You know, if Governor Pritzker needs staffing decision help, I know how to shake things up… “


  30. - Huh? - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:40 am:

    No, Governor Pritzker is not renting out rooms in the governor’s mansion. Perhaps, you could check with the Drury Inn to see if there are rooms available during the state fair.


  31. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:41 am:

    “I was wondering, who handles the email IT stuff. I’d like to see, maybe wipe some emails I accidentally sent… “


  32. - Lucky Pierre - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:41 am:

    Happy 4th everyone!

    Hopefully Rauner derangement Syndrome is almost cured.

    Who is now to blame for everything wrong in Illinois state government?


  33. - lake county democrat - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:42 am:

    Mary’s not here? Has she even visited yet?


  34. - Excitable Boy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:42 am:

    Is there any way you could expedite our passport renewals? We really need to get to Italy before Bruce completely breaks down.


  35. - Fax Machine - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:42 am:

    If Pat Quinn ever injures his ankle, he’ll need specially-made crutches that can hold a clipboard


  36. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:42 am:

    “Yeah, Bruce kinda looks like David Letterman but far less charming, warm, and twice as angry… but a spitting image.”


  37. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:43 am:

    “No, we’re moving to a place where no one knows the purposeful damaged we did to break unions… “


  38. - OutOfState - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:43 am:

    “Oh Bruce? He’s doing well. In fact, he reached a grand bargain with the car service to pick us up this morning.”


  39. - Tom Collins - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:44 am:

    Actually, we DID go to Italy — but, um, they wouldn’t take us.


  40. - Bruce Rauner - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:44 am:

    I told Diana not to leave me for JB, but I guess the free market has spoken.


  41. - Pot calling kettle - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:45 am:

    “Hi. I was hoping to pick up Bruce’s ‘Ex-Governor’ patch for his vest.”

    Bruce hurt his ankle. Got it caught in a fence. Anyway, did we leave a deer costume here?

  43. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:45 am:

    “Bruce? Oh he and a buddy bought a business and then fired everyone after raiding their pension money. They hope to close the place by August. He’s happy.”


  44. - OutOfState - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:45 am:

    “No, we decided to go to Germany instead of Italy. Bruce is confident he can fix the union situation over there too.”


  45. - Dirty Red - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:45 am:

    Pink isn’t well. He stayed back at the hotel.


  46. - Grandson of Man - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:47 am:

    It’s Diana, the former First Lady. I came to see what a real governor looks like and if there are any positions open in his administration. Bruce wants to leave Illinois and was screaming in the phone for someone to get him out of here. He was so angry he kicked our very expensive condo and hurt himself, but I love the place more now.


  47. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:47 am:

    “You can’t fire me, Mrs. Rauner, you’re not First Lady anymore… and I’m union.”


  48. - OutOfState - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:47 am:

    “I’m glad to see you took my notes on the RHA. Maybe I can help with parental consent next year.”


  49. - Homer Simpson's Brain - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:47 am:

    Bruce spends all day yelling at the Italians over the phone because they keep “losing” his security deposits for a villa. Just yesterday, he broke his ankle chasing squirrels around the backyard yelling “I’ll get you this time Madigan!” at 3am in the morning. I just don’t know what else to do…


  50. - Diana R. - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:48 am:

    Wanna buy a house in Winnetka?


  51. - Bruce Rauner - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:50 am:

    “My Winnetka home’s assessed value has come down by 42.18%. Do you have Mike Madigan’s number so I can thank him?”


  52. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:52 am:

    “To be honest, Mrs. Rauner, it is good to see you, but you’re gonna have to sit out here and wait… like every body else.”


  53. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:53 am:

    “Yes, it is different. Governor Pritzker has folks here who care about Illinois and want the state to be better, not collapse, so yeah, it is weird.”

    Former Illinois First Lady to appear in upcoming episode of “Cheaters.” We’re secretly following her around because her husband, the former governor, suspects something is going on between her and the new governor. He’s a mess over it but he wants answers.

    Funny, how disparaging Governor Rauner and First Lady Diana Rauner has become a sport for you, Rich, but even the slightest criticism of this administration’s policies results in blog-shaming. Be careful, your bias is showing. #ijs

    - JT -….

    HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 4, Episode 51

    Bruce breaks his ankle kicking a flat tire on the garbage can van, decides not to shave until his ankle heals. Diana decides bygones should be bygones and goes to the governor’s office to forgive the new governor, walks into the signing of the AFSCME contract. Diana’s former state employee hands Diana her unforwarded mail. Hud and Anne open a consulting firm specializing in failing right-leaning moderates, the Looch spends the afternoon in a baseball skybox with the Ricketts family. Comedy. 59 minutes.

    “how disparaging Governor Rauner and First Lady Diana Rauner has become a sport for you”

    We aren’t disparaging 1.4% as a person. We are making fun of his caricature of a governor and “every man”. There is no bias against 1.4% as a person. The animosity is due to his behavior and intentional destruction of State government.

    I am sure that 1.4% is a pleasant person while he sips his $10k wine of the month club bottle of chablis. However, based on his penchant for bending the truth and wearing costumes in an effort to be an “every man”, he has shown the residents of Illinois is that his administration was a caricature, worthy to be laughed at.

    Down here we wouldn’t call that a sport; more like shooting fish in a barrel. Such a wealth of material, an embarrassment of riches. (But I must admit, OW and others have elevated it into an art form.)

    Now you can start working on captions for my Senator, and our friend, Jason.

    ===you had to be waiting for a moment like this. Great work.===

    We all got lucky, a picture like this is delicious.

    Hopefully I made you and others have a good laugh. It’s good to laugh.

    As for Jason, so far, mixed reviews. Hopefully he keeps growing. The fodder will be there, it’s all up to him.

    To the Post,

    “They don’t have ‘Retired First Lady’ license plates, but maybe if you check with Secretary White… “


  125. - Huh? - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 3:07 pm:

    “Could the Governor please just give him a hug?”

    No.


  126. - Klaus VonBulow - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 3:11 pm:

    I’m just here to speak with the many employees Bruce and I hired. They keep us informed.


  127. - don the legend - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 3:21 pm:

    “I’m here to pick up Bruce’s box of dropped Gs.”


  128. - Seats - Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 3:31 pm:

    “We understand that Governor Pritzker’s new contract prevents the IPI from obtaining new addresses, but can you at least be reasonable and let John Terranova mass send to their State email addresses? He has their best interest at heart”
