Tired of playing Hi Bob and because their cable bill never got paid, the Springfield press corp devised a new game. They drink everytime the Governor tells a lie. Needless to say, they are never sober.

If he really was the Health Care Governor, he’d do these guys a favor and install treadmills in the Blue Room.

With the Governor nowhere in sight, local press spend their free time talking with Ben Affleck (in orange shirt) about his political aspirations.

Well, the secret’s out. We know the one sure time Blago can still avoid press questions: Anytime he’s doing anything remotely athletic.

“He’s not here”, declares Chambers, and the search for the Governor continues, one golf course at a time.

Comment by Centrist Tuesday, Sep 26, 06 @ 4:44 pm
Yeah that was my first question, where’s Rich and John?

Comment by Tweed Tuesday, Sep 26, 06 @ 4:46 pm
Newsflash: Fat, white guys get together and drink beer. And, No, it is not the GOP county chairmen!!!

(P.S. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out that the guy I thought was Rauschenberger is actually Doug Finke… I was really confused on why Rauschy would be there with those guys…)

If you are going to take that bunch out on a boat, better make it a barge.

I didn’t think it crossed the line, Rich. Actually, I thought it was kind of funny.

The Statehouse Press Corps drown their sorrows after discovering a sudden loss in the Press Corps Entertainment Fund. Spokesperson Doug Finke said, “I told you guys we shouldn’t let Filan invest the money.” Fund trustees Rich Miller and John O’Connor could not be reached for comment.

Hi, We’re Interesting!

Are they housebroken?

YAAARRRRR! A silver mug of hot buttery stool from the Springfield press corps for anybody who will lick Finke’s armpit! (In honor of “Talk like a pirate day, which I missed — yaaarrrrrr!)

Comment by ghostinyou Tuesday, Sep 26, 06 @ 8:10 pm
Gee Aaron looks like he is witnessing Blago referencing Elvis for the 1,000,000th time - lost count! Finke has his characteristic “smile”. Press Corps having fun without a politician in sight to razz - PRICELESS.

Here are the only government employees in all of State government that have not been investigated, placed on a hiring list, worked politics to get ahead or violated some type of rule.

In order to get rabid press corps off his back over “the check,” Governor Blagojevich grabs a camera, sends over some free beer, and asks the press corps fellas to smile great big smiles so he can send the pictures to two Scandinavian penpals named Inga and Svetlana, both twins.

Comment by Angie Tuesday, Sep 26, 06 @ 8:47 pm
Finke Looks Away, Everyone Smiles and Blago Wins Again! Hooray for Hot Buttery Stool!
