    “Hey at least I’m not Dennis Hastert”


  2. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:32 pm:

    “You’re in over your head, kid”

    - GHR


  3. - Moi - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:33 pm:

    Hot Taeks @ 2:31 pm: Thank you for that great laugh you brought me this fine Friday.


  4. - fs - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:35 pm:

    “What were we thinking?”


  5. - Give Me A Break - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:36 pm:

    GR: So is Kankakee in the part of Illinois you are keeping?


  6. - Ron Burgundy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:37 pm:

    “You kind of look like the Hall of Famer, the Coach, Dick Butka.”


  7. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:38 pm:

    GR: Who did you vote for in ‘98, me or Glenn? Be honest.


  8. - Proud Papa Bear - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:38 pm:

    So what are ya in for?


  9. - don the legend - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:41 pm:

    DB: I’m so confused. This new bail rule, would that have made a difference for you?


  10. - Big Dipper - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:42 pm:

    Tough on crime, friendly with felons.


  11. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:42 pm:

    DB: Our state would have been a lot better off had the Willis family left a few minutes late on their tragic day.

    GR: You got that right.


  12. - Baloneymous - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:43 pm:

    This is not your grandfather’s Oldsmobile GOP


  13. - PublicServant - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:43 pm:

    The gentleman to my right will escort you out.


  14. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:46 pm:

    DB: “George, what is your favorite memory of Len Small”


  15. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:48 pm:

    “Darren, you’re even too conservative for me”


  16. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:50 pm:

    “Anyone ever tell you, Darren, that you look like the sergeant on ‘Gomer Pyle USMC’… cause you do”


  17. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:50 pm:

    “Darren, don’t pray for me, save all your prayers for you”


  18. - West Sider - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:52 pm:

    A continuous embarrassment to all Illinois public officials- and convicted felon, former Governor George Ryan


  19. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:54 pm:

    “Darren, lemme tell you, you’ll enjoy retirement from public life…”


  20. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:54 pm:

    George, what year did you buy your shirt? 1975?


  21. - Larry Bowa Jr. - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:54 pm:

    The KDJ article is worth reading. Darren tells a story about a democratic hairdresser from Highland Park who just happened to be running the clippers for him in Effingham so that he could explain what he actually meant without the dastardly media twisting his words.

    Totally believable stuff for anyone who has been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently.


  22. - JS Mill - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:55 pm:

    GHR- “sorry, I don’t understand a word you are saying.”

    DB- “eye wuz talkeen about SKULEZ.”


  23. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:56 pm:

    “Darren, stay off the FacingBook and the TinkerTocking. I heard that it’s hurting you”


  24. - don the legend - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:58 pm:

    GR: Free piece of advice. Regarding the holocaust, maybe keep your thoughts unsaid.


  25. - JS Mill - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:00 pm:

    =Totally believable stuff for anyone who has been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently.=

    Why are you insulting people who have been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently?


  26. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:02 pm:

    “Darren, your tent revivals are things of legend”


  27. - Retired SURS Employee - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:02 pm:

    GHR - “Just remember, you lose your pension if you commit a felony.”


  28. - Annonin' - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:05 pm:

    GR: All ya gotta do is dance around a little…like I did with Glendall.
    DB But aint that a lie?
    GR Not if dont do anything…tee hee


  29. - Rich Miller - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:07 pm:

    ===Why are you insulting people who have been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently? ===

    According to Rauner, the entire state was hit in the head with a 2×4 when the tax hike passed over his veto.


  30. - AlfondoGonz - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:16 pm:

    “And kid; lose the glasses.”


  31. - MisterJayEm - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:17 pm:

    Actual pro-life Republican shaking hands with Darren Bailey.

    – MrJM


  32. - walker - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:19 pm:

    “You need a commercial license for your bus?”


  33. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:19 pm:

    “Darren, nice to meet you, then again lots of people are getting to know you these days, aren’t they?”


  34. - Bigtwich - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:20 pm:

    Darren, you’ve got soft hands.


  35. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:22 pm:

    “Darren, remember, you did all this to yourself”


  36. - MoralMinority - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:27 pm:

    GR:How about getting a bite to eat at the Little Corporal or the Bon Vivant or the Redwood Inn and we can talk over Illinois politics?
    DB: Sorry George, but those places are has beens just like you. I’m the new face of the Illinois GOP.


  37. - Jocko - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:29 pm:

    You might want to lay off the hellhole stuff until mid-november.


  38. - Vote Quimby - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:30 pm:

    Did you room with Blago?


  39. - Benjamin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:31 pm:

    “George, you may not remember me, but I was your high school shop teacher before a freak woodworking accident sent me 70 years forward in time.”


  40. - Grandson of Man - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:34 pm:

    “I really feel for you, kid.”


  41. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:36 pm:

    “Darren, it can always be worse”


  42. - G'Kar - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:37 pm:

    “Beetle, you are confusing Abraham Lincoln with Michael Corleone.”


  43. - Oswego Willy - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:38 pm:

    “If counties voted, kid, you’d have a chance. They don’t”


  44. - Senator Clay Davis - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:49 pm:

    I’m an octagenarian felon and I have a better chance of winning this race than you.


  45. - Rich Miller - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:52 pm:

    Benjamin wins. That’s it. Have a great weekend, folks!


  46. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:52 pm:

    Say Hi to Scott Fawell for me.


  47. - Bruce( no not him) - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:52 pm:

    When the time comes, and it will, ask for the corner cell closer to the showers.
    You’ll thank me later.


  48. - SOIL M - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:53 pm:

    DB: Look George, if you hadn’t fractured the Party the way you did, we might not still be suffering from a lack of top tier statewide candidates.

    GR: You are welcome.


  49. - Manchester - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:54 pm:

    I thought George had more sense than to consort with rabble like Beetle Bailey.


  50. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:55 pm:

    “Darren, if it wasn’t for me, Blago would have never been Governor.”


  51. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:55 pm:

    ==Say Hi to Scott Fawell for me.==

    Also say Hi to Bill Cellini for me. What’s his number?


  52. - Just Sayin - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:56 pm:

    George, can you sell me some of them “licenses for bribes?”


  53. - Senator Clay Davis - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 4:02 pm:

    Wow, that KDJ story is staggering.

    Bailey asked a woman cutting his hair if she heard about his bungled statements about Highland Park. She said no, and said she didn’t want to hear about it. So proceeded to tell her his side of the story. Then he told THAT story to a group of supporters later.

    Dear Lord this guy is like a little leaguer taking a couple swings in the Big Leagues


  54. - Amalia - Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 4:10 pm:

    No worries, you will never see prison because you will not be governor.
