Schock: See ya ’round, “Governor”…What a phony…Look at him…Expensive clothes…Enjoying all the trappings of the office…Does he even care about people?..Bet he’s looking for his next money making deal…And what self-promoter…You kidding me?..It’s always “Look at me!”, well I’m looking at you….I’m looking… It’s kike doing his job is getting in the way of stroking his own ego…Bet he likes seeing himself in pictures…Trying to look all dapper, important…Bet he likes going to concerts…Scoring tickets, using his office…Yeah, I’m watching you…It’ll catch up with him… I know it…Can’t wait for that…All his cards falling in a pile, only himself to blame…You keep smiling…We’re not hating on you, you just think that…

You are very wise, Rich, to post a picture of these two together. Schock’s fate could prove to be quite similar if he doesn’t toe the line while seeking redemption from those who hold the keys to the future that lies ahead of him.

I assume federal prisons allow weightlifting. Don’t want the abs to atrophy. Among the voting public , and the prison population….looks matter.

Comment by south side Wednesday, Mar 18, 15 @ 9:42 am
Stupid is as stupid does.

While Schock is going to be investigated, I will wait for the results of a probe. As of now, with more information to come, I am not certain if he has actually committed a crime. There has been lots of piling on, but the process needs to play out.

And he pondered the matter as deeply as he could.

“The hair” he thought. “No, I can never achieve that man’s level of greatness when it comes to the hair. Yet I must surpass his greatness in some way. Hmmn, but how!”

And then he got the idea that would forever change his life. “While I can’t compete on the hair, he can never challenge my abs! I must show them to the world! My abs will be as his hair! A free ride up to the political stars! And perhaps photos of those abs with large chested women around me to throw off my doubters! Yes, it must be done! Get me my personal photographer! This one will not do at all!”

Schock, you are going to be a great hit in the prison beauty shop. The ideas you have will get all the inmates crazy for ya! First thing to do is to go straight King Rauner to have him write your retainer check. He does have spare change around somewhere. Or have him point you to the money tree to shake it and see what falls. Second, offer to be the kings driver of his 70’s van and where the outfit that Matt Damon wore in the liberace movie as his driver. Third, come up with a new hooch recipe for the prison. Those guys love to drink so try to come up with news ones while you are still free. Fourth, gain some weight you want to look bad in prison. Also start reading the bible too. Good luck
