The person posting the funniest comment “wins” a cocktail hour with me in the Chicago or Springfield areas. I might even expand that geography if I know someone in your neck of the woods. I’m buying. You don’t have to drink to be eligible, but it helps.

GOP nominee for comptroller Judy Baar Topinka does her best to impersonate outsted Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s mug shot following his arrest last year much to the chagrin of fellow GOP leaders. A Blagojevich spokesman called Topinka’s impersonation “completely inaccurate,” saying the the former governor’s hair was “more Elvis, less Benetar.”

Making the new GOP pledges, namely Enriquez and Plummer, do the elephent walk with Judy’s cigerates rather than traditional marshmallows went over real well with frat members Brady and Rutherford.
However, as the old house mother who keeps the frat in line, Judy was very, very angry. In fact, she was so mad that if Brady did not sell his porsche and promise to buy her cigs and booze until November, she threatned to tell plummer’s old man that Brady was just using the kid to get to the old man’s bank account.
And, then Judy threatned to tell the cops that Rutherford were guilty of contributing to the delinquincy of a minor because he was the ones who supplied Plummer with the beer.

Even after President O’Bama and General Petreaus asked that the even be cancelled in order to protect Republicans of Illinosi like Roeser, Pastor Bill Brady, who coincidentaly owns a condo in Florida, still went through with his “International Burn Cigaretts and Eye Shadow Day” occuring on September 11, 2010 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. This even was a hit with Right-Wing base of the Illinois GOP, as JBT is still just a Rino. In fact, the Illinois Review said it was the best event of the year. Further, it was a hit with the redneck, right wing crowd of Bill Brady and Dan Rutherford.
However, Judy was so mad that she vowed fatwa on the conservative wing of the Illinois GOP. Here, in this picture she is seen using her eye’s to vaporize John Shimkus.
Comment by Cuban Pilot Thursday, Sep 9, 10 @ 3:50 pm

While on a hot mic and unware that JBT can hear him, Jason Plummer asks a reporter who is the red-headed grandmother who keeps offering him hard candy at every campaign stop.
When told that the red-head was JBT and she once ran for governor, Plummer indicated off the record that he now remembered her from his 7th grad mock Illinois election. He further expanded that during that 7th grad mock election in Ms. Paine’s social studies class, Plummer in fact voted for Blago because Blago had better hair.
Pictured here is JBT watching the back of Plummer’s head as he talks to the unnamed reporter.
Comment by Cuban Pilot Thursday, Sep 9, 10 @ 4:06 pm

Here’s a story of a man named Brady, who was busy with two boys of his own. They were three men running all together, yet they were all alone.
Till one day when the lady met this fellow, and they knew it was much more than a hunch. That this grand ole group would somehow form a party, that’s the way they all became the Brady Bunch! Bill, JBT, Dan, Jason!
