* If you’ve been watching Twitter closely the past couple of weeks, you know that two competing parody accounts have started attracting followers, @BossMadiganIL and @BossRaunerIL.
The person(s) behind Boss Rauner just lost a big round…

Yep. He gone. Not sure what happened there.
* Speaking of Speaker Madigan, this is from Steve Brown…
The leadership selected for the 100th General Assembly will be:
Representative Barbara Flynn Currie, Majority Leader
Representative Louis Lang, Deputy Majority Leader
Representative Arthur Turner, Deputy Majority Leader
Representative Luis Arroyo, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Dan Burke, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Sara Feigenholtz, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Mary Flowers, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Jehan Gordon-Booth, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Elaine Nekritz, Assistant Majority Leader
Representative Greg Harris, Conference Chairman
Representative Jay Hoffman, Assistant Majority Leader, non-compensated
Jay Hoffman in leadership? Man, Punkin Haid has really come a long way since Madigan stripped him of his committee chairmanship for working too closely with Rod Blagojevich.
Hey, maybe Scott Drury can one day work himself back into Madigan’s good graces, too. /s
…Adding… When Pat Quinn became governor, he continued using his lt. governor business cards and just crossed out the “Lt.” Did he get the House signage contract?…

Boss Rauner FB and website are still up. Nothing on them but his dark pic, though.

In the forgiving nature, maybe Rich can stop banning me from Cap Fax for giving out Rauner’s home address. I mean it is my address too. Then I can post from my cellphone and not my neighbor’s wifi.

Art Turner got Dep Maj Leader with only 3 terms & not even 35 - does that mean he’s the Heir Apparent?
Also Congrats to Luis Arroyo for getting the Latino AMJ spot after Eddie Acevedo retired. Does that mean he has to give up his Approp Chairmanship?

It’s pretty funny how the IPI apparently fails to understand the message they are sending by saying Boss Madigan is stronger than Boss Rauner and as a result is the one who survives.

Maybe that 100th IGA sign was intentional. The zeros resemble eyes as in ‘Boss Madigan is always watchin’. /s

And you’re surprised a guy who put $50M in a campaign account was able to take down a twitter account? He’s as thin skinned as Trump. The fact that they are promoting the suspension of the twitter account confirms it. Throughout the Gov term there have been parody twitter accounts that all seem to mysteriously go offline. It’s not by accident.
