* Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel discuss… something…

Keep it clean, people. No profanity and make sure to tone down the violent imagery. Yes, that makes this tough, but elevate yourselves. Thanks.

Don’t look now, pat, but Madigan tied your laces together.

Either I get a casino, or you’ll be back to Sunday press conferences, where not even bloggers will show up……

Comment by I'm Just Saying Thursday, Sep 6, 12 @ 8:50 am
Governor, you can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the casino license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

Rahm tells Pat he is heading back to Chicago to host a viewing party for President Obama’s speech and Pat Quinn thinks “I believe that is the reason he is heading back”

“If you do send me a dead fish, could it be an Asian carp? I could eat it at my next press conference. I’d be a good role model for all those hard-working Illinoisans fighting Asian carp.”

You kneel behind Madigan and I push him over….

“Do you expect me to let you take my casino from me? Don’t you know me? Don’t you know that that’s an impossibility, that that could never happen… that I’d use all my power to keep something like that from happening? Don’t you know that?”

Prior to the separation procedure, Rahm convinces his conjoined twin Pat that it’s best for Rahm to keep the brain.

Pat, the Cubs still have more support of baseball fans in Chicago. . .

Pat, you’ll do what I say, or I’ll show you the finger on my other hand, farshtaist?

Rahm: “These are not the casino concessions you’re looking for.”

Quinn: “These aren’t really the concessions we’re looking for, Rahm.”

Rahm: “You have a fair to go to. Move along.”

Quinn: “Butter cow. Let’s get moving.”

Pat, you just have to get that clueless, blank-stare expression off your face.

“Pat , I really need a city income tax. How about ramming the thing through the state legislature during the lame duck session? Pat , my dream is to have an income tax on suburbanites. Those who don’t vote , don’t count as the first Mayor Daley said!”

Toni told me she doesn’t have anyone to go to the reception with…you interested?

Comment by Commonsense in Illinois Thursday, Sep 6, 12 @ 9:29 am
Your street will be closed and under permanent construction until the City can find the funds to finish it. A casino would provide those funds.

It looks like you’ll be walking a quarter mile to your house everyday until then, huh?

Comment by VanillaMan Thursday, Sep 6, 12 @ 9:29 am
Rahm: “I know who you are. I know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I’m not giving you any money. But I do have a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my casino go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

Sorry Rich, I know you said to keep the violent imagery down… but I couldn’t resist. Liam Nelson has nothing on Rahm.

No, Pat, I am not staying at the Motel 6 or the Super 8. Come over and see me at the Ritz.

Hey Pat, do you want to go fishing? If you do, you can see if saying your “Hail Mary”, will help you catch a fish!

“Don’t worry Pat. As long as Pat Brady is running the ILGOP, you will be fine.”

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Sep 6, 12 @ 11:17 am
“I’ll let you in on a little secret. Pat Brady is Madigan’s Guy …true.”

“Bill Brady? …You won’t see him no more.”

“I guess … I mean, Madigan told me I was going to ‘be fine’ …so I’m ok, right?”

“If I were you … i would just take Lisa out … not ‘out’, I mean cut off her support, geez Pat.”

“If you want, I can have Arne Duncan put OPRF on ‘probation’ or something to help Fenwick … your call.”

“Hey, did you remember to send a gift to Madigan for his birthday?”

“Keep this to yourself … but I just cut off all CDOT funding to the 13th Ward… just to say ‘hey’ to ole Mikey-Boy”

“You still owe for the Scott Lee Cohen ‘Fix’ … I haven’t forgot, and you shouldn’t too … know what I mean?”

Whatever Rahm is saying, it sure has made Pat one unhappy camper. Dang.
