@FakeQuinn - I am the most modest person I know too! #BravoOnBravada
@FakeBruceRauner - The only thing I didn’t master was creating Earth in less than 7 days. My bad. #SurgeonsHaveRsunerComplexes

Yeah, politicians are megalomaniacs. Some worse than others.

“I always do the right thing, no matter what” Except for governing…
“I’ve been successful at everything I’ve ever done.” Except for maybe corporate ethics…

Paper, rock, sizers. Trying to do right always beats tying to be successful. because doing right leads to success were as trying to be successful doesn’t always lead to being right.

== “I always do the right thing, no matter what” ==
Like the time I suspended the ILGA’s pay to score campaign points.
== “I’ve been successful at everything I’ve ever done.” ==
Just ask Mr. Saacks.

My father said when someone starts using ‘absolute’ words (always, everything, must, cannot, never, made me, only, etc.) that is when the BS is getting thick. Nobody bats 1.000 every day and even Michael Jordan misses easy layups.

“…and I suppose next you’ll tell me you were born in a small log cabin in the wilderness?”
“Oh, no, not at all. I was born in a manger.”

Not only that, but we’re the most humble guys you’ll ever meet!
Kind of goes with the territory, I think. Not too many shrinking violets get the Big Chair.

Rich - “It’s Hard To Be Humble” by Mac Davis would be a great song to close out the week!

Just remember PQ and Bruce that the only person that was perfect in every way got hung on a cross.

You’ve got to get the whole quote in context for it to make complete sense:
“I always do the right thing, no matter what. Just ask me if you need confirmation”
