What’s in a name?

Illinois

* As you all know, there’s another guy named Mike Madigan running for state Senate. The other day, the State Journal-Register published an op-ed by somebody named James Durkin entitled “Compromise needed to restore Illinois’ standing” with this footnote…

The writer is a Mokena resident and part-time professor of political science and criminal justice at several northern Illinois community colleges. He is not the state representative of the same name.

* And today the Tribune ran a letter to the editor from a John Culloton…

Our Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan — who has made a practice of pursuing minor investigations — suddenly has written a letter to the U.S. attorney general requesting an investigation of the Chicago Police Department by the U.S. Department of Justice. Why now?

All we need now is a fake Radogno and we’ll have a complete set.

If we can find a “Radogno”, can you imagine the photo op these four could have?

Boy that would be delicious.

And someone named “Rich Miller” just wrote a letter to the editor in my local paper about the state budget problem. So be careful out there!

Isn’t the current Radogno fake enough?

Especially if they did it at Dunkin Doughnuts.

I’m really glad I didn’t have anything in my mouth when I read this AC @ 4:19!
AC wins the comment of the day!

More and more people seem fake these days. I could have sworn “Aaron Wroggers” was the Packers’ QB in last Thursday’s Bears game.

Okay sir, you’re a Lebowski, I’m a Lebowski, that’s terrific, but I’m very busy, as I can imagine you are. What can I do for you sir?

It is obvious why AG Madigan is now calling for a DOJ investigation of the CPD. She is a smart politician and hopes this will insulate her from the calls for resignation that went out to CPD Superintendent McCarthy; Cook Co SA Alvarez & Mayor Rahm.

You are right!
Find a Radogno and all we’d need is Ronald McDonald to impersonate Rauner.

What’s in a name? If Jim Ryan would have won, things would be looking alot different. Unfortunate timing.

No one should be using fake names. I’d never do that.

Now all we need is a guy named Mike Kasper lobbying for Redflex. Oh we already do but it is the same Mike Kasper so I guess it doesnt count.
