Why do you think it’s been 60+ degrees this week?
Because a lot of 13th Ward captains were griping that they were freezing going door-to-door.
Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:01 pm
I don’t think this man gets it.
Comment by Tech 2016 Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:02 pm
Which is worse…
Saying that, or possibly trying to think others might believe that.
That’s fun.
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:02 pm
Yeah, it’s about Madigan, not about you and your actions. /s
Sheesh…
Comment by JS Mill Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:02 pm
And Dunkin wields a lot of chutzpah.
Comment by RIJ Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:02 pm
And the leader of the free world asks “how high? ” when Mike Madigan tells him to jump. Uh-huh. Because… Madigan

Yeah, but all respect. Seriously. The man knows how to stay on message.

@FakeKenDunkin - Speaker Madigan wields so much power we’re all going to lose a whole hour on Sunday #BlameMadiganAgain

If Madigan wielded that much power, Dunkin wouldn’t have deserted the Democrats in the first place.
Caption? “I’m Bruce Rauner and I approved and paid for this message.”

@ 47th Ward, bravo.
If he loses the primary he still holds his seat for another 9 months. There’s no way he goes out quietly and *gets popcorn* I’m going to need a lot of popcorn.

Stay on message? Give me a break. What are you smokin?

== State Rep Ken Dunkin on Obama endorsement of Stratton: “I guess Madigan wields a lot of power” ==
Uhhh…..Sort of like the power raunner wields over you. Right?
Maybe best to keep your mouth closed re this?

@FakeKenDunkin - Speaker Madigan wields so much power a certain chain’s shops are now called “Stratton” Donuts across America #BlameMadiganAgain
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:18 pm
He knows how to stay on message all right. Let’s see if ithat message works as well for Dunk as it has for Rauner.
Comment by Politix Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:19 pm
There is no freedom of speech on this site. Very hypocritical to say the least. Oh, I forgot, it’s the media celebrity network. Autographs anyone???

Wait till tomorrow: when the Pope and Dhali Lama endorse Stratton, all the world religious leaders he controls
Comment by Wow Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:20 pm
Well, at this point satire is indistinguishable from real statements by Ken Dunkin.
I thought everyone was saying this in jest. SMH
Comment by Me too Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:20 pm
Freedom of speech doesn’t apply to this site. Political commentary is made by people who are generally informed, so maybe that’s why it seems like the comments lean one way, but you got deleted for using a banned word, or moderated for using certain other ones. Rich is in no way Constitutionally mandated to put your comments up on his site, especially if they are inflammatory or profane.
Comment by Me too Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:25 pm
Awwwww, someone hurt “hypocrite!’s” feels.
Comment by Just Jack Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:42 pm
I wonder if Dunkin’s next career track will be stand up comedy?
Comment by South Illinoisian Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 4:45 pm
I will give props to Dunkin for staying in message, no matter how looney that response may be, but would an independent thinker come to the conclusion Mike Madigan wields the power to get Ken Dunkin to rise up and interrupt the Predident of the United States?
Sometimes “we” are our own worst enemies, Ken.

so Trump has a good vp pick in Dunkin…..

Hyprocrite gave me a chuckle with the free speech whine. Good response on that Me Too.
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 8:28 pm
Dunkin makes a powerful argument for why Madigan is a powerful advocate for his district, far more powerful than Gonzales would be. After all, no one in Madigan’s district would give up representation so powerful as to summon the President any time he wants.
Comment by AC Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 9:21 pm
Rumor is that Obama wants a job at Streets and Sans when he returns and the endorsement was a quid pro quo for Madigan clouting him in.
Comment by Quizzical Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 9:28 pm
Streets and San? No, Obama is going to get one of those cushy, no-work jobs at Madigan Electric.
Comment by Keyrock Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 9:50 pm
Well at least Ken will get a new job at Rauner’s Winning Superstars, Inc., formerly known as Reboot Illinois.

“I guess Madigan wields a lot of power”
Or - you just admitted how completely powerless you are as a legislator?
