Super happy fun slide, good.

Immediately afterwards as Pat Brady came down slower, he said it was Madigan’s fault…

Having survived nearly ten years on the slippery slope of father daughter politics, Lisa gives two thumbs up for the race for Governor.

An awkward moment occurred prior to this picture being taken as Steve Kim had to check AG Madigan’s height to be sure she was allowed on the ride he was operating.
Comment by So. ILL Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 12:25 pm
it’s all uphill from here, but I can do it, backwards and in high heels.
Comment by Amalia Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 12:28 pm
=If you dress like a Republican, will you get their votes?=
I’d hate to say it, but you might. As a female Republican, being able to go down that slide in a skirt (and I’m pretty sure it’s a skirt), and only revealing the “kid in you” is pretty impressive.

When asked, Birkett said, “I called her up and said, ‘Congratulations, Lisa, now you are Carnie-Folk!”, misunderstanding yet again.

Yeah…I made it! Having fun at the IL State Fair.
Comment by Mama Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 1:00 pm
Cute except you know it’s staged because no way was she flashing on her slide down in a skirt. She might want to watch a few episodes of What Not To Wear before launching her gubernatorial campaign because that awful shirt is really sad.

Although not know by many, but Attorney General Madigan has her own life-size “Chutes and Ladders” game, and plays to wind down after doing very difficult “General-Stuff” during her work day.

Attorney General Madigan assuring enforcement of the law of gravity.
Comment by soccermom Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 1:18 pm
I like to dream, yes, yes
Of a Madigan-run scene
On a cloud of dough I sail through the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
Downstate and away from here
Well, you won’t know what
We can find
Why don’t you come with me Illinois
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you won’t know what
We can see
Why don’t you lend your faith in me
The Speaker and I will set you free
Comment by PsyOp Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 1:25 pm
Quick, sit there and it’ll look like you really went down the slide. Now, over to the cows.

When asked why there has been no prosecution of public corruption cases during her tenure, Attorney General Lisa Madigan stated, “I guess I have decided to let them slide”

Quinn was disappointed how Madigan used the shirt he lent her.

Lisa provides an apt demonstration of her popularity rating during her gubenatorial campaign.

“Oh Wow”, she said not seeing squeezy the pension python at the bottom.
Comment by Mouthy Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 1:46 pm
“You won’t see the other Madigan doing this.”
In all seriousness I give her props for showing her human side. The only way you would see PQ doing this would be if he tripped at the top and accidently went down the slide. It is nice to see an elected official that doesn’t take themselves so seriously all the time and isn’t afraid of letting their hair down a little.

AG Lisa Madigan seen practicing for when she, as Governor, will preside over the opening of the State Fair.
Comment by Norseman Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 1:52 pm
If that picture was taken in the last week, she has wisely given up on Illinois and moved to a much warmer state.

lol If that’s the case, at least “whoever” exercised some restraint by not also photoshopping Quinn, Squeezy, and gosh knows who else into the background.

Where do you think they got the color for Squeezy from, look at the snake look at the slide…

Taking a clue from the Daley family, who win elections by 200,000 votes when only 100,000 people voted, Herself won the slide race by 2 minutes even though the slide only lasted 10 seconds!
Comment by Palos Park Bob Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 4:21 pm
I guess I must have beat Pat down? (Or,should I say—I am going to “beat down Pat”?)Where did Pat go? He started down the slide next to me at the same time? I guess he must still be at the top of the slide talking to the other people up there about the adversity he is about to face.

No, um no, Pat Quinn is Not buried under this sand!
Comment by Running Mate Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 4:53 pm
If you think this is a landslide, just wait until you see my numbers against Quinn in the next primary!
Comment by Will Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 4:57 pm
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

IL Attorney General Madigan gives the “thumbs up” to alternative sun bathing sites as lake levels drops, yet dodged questions concerning “clothing optional” sites in Cook County Forest Preserves.

In an effort to keep up with the Rutherford social media machine, Lisa Madigan goes down the slide in a skirt. Next up she will fix a leaky shower head while wearing a wedding dress.
Comment by Danimal Thursday, Jan 24, 13 @ 8:12 pm
Danimal, I am absolutely certain that your comment could be construed–by some–as “inappropriate, excessively rabid, gratuitous”, or at a MINIMUM as directly competitive with Oscar’s debut thread.
Therefore, I appeal to Rich to disregard both Danimal’s comment and mine in the count.
