“Stop squeezing so hard. You’re not getting a budget deal that way.”

Rauner: “Mr.Speaker, you know how I dislike shakin’ your hand, right?”
Madian: “The feeling is mutual Governor.”

It’s a shame one of them didn’t put a charcoal briquette in their palm. I’d be willing to bet a diamond would’ve fallen out.

It’s all a sham. No way s budget gets passed this year or next. No way Madigan will allow The gov to get that press or satisfaction.

You’re going to have to do even better at “stretchin’,” Governor, if you want to make a deal.

To me its meaning is about the same as the one at a professional boxing match. It means that the preliminaries are over and real fight is about to begin.

How was Blago ever able to reach over that high and far?
Comment by Joe M Thursday, Jan 26, 17 @ 10:13 am
The Gov. seems to think he is the owner of the state. This is not your company or stock. If you don’t like it quit.

The looks on their faces tell fhe whole story. Nothing more needs to said.

Mr. Spock: To expect sense from two mentalities of such extreme view points is not logical.
Sulu: Their state is dead. Does it matter now which one’s right?
Mr. Spock: Not to Rauner and Madigan. All that matters to them is their hate.

Goes to show which has the biggest problems. 1.4% is up to his arm pit in them. While the Speaker is merely leaning over.
