Bruce Rauner’s smear campaign against congressman Arron shock backfires!

” It was me or Congressman Jerrold Nadler for the Wheaties box. I want to thank General Mills for their difficult choice on healthy living. I’m sure it wasn’t easy.”

Has there ever been an Illinois politician that has been so full of himself?

Comment by Yipperdo Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 10:53 am
This Wheaties box or the the $50 minister degree I bought in California. What is more important?

Comment by zatoichi Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 10:55 am
“Of course I belong on a Wheaties box! Politics is a blood sport after all.”

- VanillaMan - on Fire!

@FakeAaronSchock - Wheaties was looking for a cartoon mascot, a first for them, to promote this project, then they called me. #Underdog #JimmyOlsen

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:09 am
Hmm… I doubt Schock eats that many carbs first thing in the morning…

Comment by Jake From Elwood Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:17 am
And now we know why he is double crossing Roskam for WHIP…maybe Mr Dreamey wanted that Whip job

I’m not overcompensating for ANYTHING. Seriously.

Comment by LizPhairTax Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:32 am
Wheaties sales plummets after placing a picture of a congressman on their boxes. Business analysts attribute the disastrous loss on the public’s animosity toward politicians.

Comment by Norseman Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:33 am
Eat your Wheaties and you can have as big a head as mine!

Comment by Precinct Captain Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:45 am
Very honored - VanillaMan -, but I thought I would be on the Milk Carton under the line, “Have you seen this Dope?”

Great stuff, you are in rare air today.

@FakeAaronSchock - the “schock” value has to be 10, but you get 2 tickets to the “Gun Show” with me on the front. #TheBeachIsThatWay

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:47 am
A good way to jump start the House of Representatives… feed them a box of champions in the morning.

Comment by In_The_Middle Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:50 am
Norseman, good one!
I almost lost my Golden Grahams on that one…

Comment by Jake From Elwood Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:28 pm
Schockingly close brush with substance (albeit wheat flakes) for first time in career.

Comment by Former Titan Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:30 pm
Interesting that he’s on a box of cereal.

I hear that in his district, his photo is also on milk carton.

VMan, I see you’ve reserved Bananas Nuts Krunch for yourself.

Good call.

Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:38 pm
Wow, VMan, Thanks, maybe, not sure, Hmmm. I’m entertained though. Save Shredded Wheat for yourself this time! LOL

Comment by A guy... Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:19 pm
Urkel-Os? I’m wearing you down VMan. I’m wearing you down.

Comment by 47th Ward Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:32 pm
Yeah - that’s you all over, 47th.

Comment by VanillaMan Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:37 pm
Word strikes me more as a “start the day with yogurt” kinda guy. Just a gut feeling. It’s something that’s gotta go bad before it gets good.

Comment by A guy... Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:40 pm
I meant to ask, does “RINO Puffs” have marshmallows?

They have to have marshmallows. And a prize; a clipboard a pen in every box…

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:46 pm
Guy, your gut is about as right sa usual. I don’t think I’ve ever had a yogurt in my life, except by accident when I thought it was ice cream.

Coffee and smokes, bacon and eggs on Sundays.

Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:49 pm
See Word, you went bad before you got good. LOL. Try some bananas, they’ll put some brakes in the renal system after all those eggs.

Would have been funnier if they had used the photo of him when they told him Dubya was coming to Peoria to campaign for him. I loved that deer-in-the-headlights look.
