Despite repeated entreaties to help “lighten the mood” in Thursday’s budget summit, Speaker Madigan and an unidentified staffer failed in attempts to draw GOP leaders into their reenactment of the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album cover.

(Over a loud speaker thoughout the Capitol)
Rauner: All right! Who did it? Who did it? Those House Members going to sit in their Chamber sweating at those desks until someone confesses! It’s an insult to the honor of my administration! The symbol of my agenda, my Carhartt, has been thrown out a window and I’m going to find out who did it if it takes all night!”

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.
“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”
(Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter 6)

Silly Gov doesn’t even have a lock on his door. Mine’s like a bank vault.

Thank you, OW, for the Mister Roberts quote–so appropriate. Only on Capitol fax comments can you have homages to Mister Roberts, Game of Thrones and Lewis Carroll!

According to Rich Miller, editor of the Capitol Fax Illinois political newsletter, wrote “the pile of political corpses outside Madigan’s Statehouse door of those who tried to beat him one way or another is a mile high and a mile wide.”
