* Sun-Times political reporter Tina Sfondeles is rapidly becoming one of my favorite people in this business. Sfondeles covered the governor’s non-campaign campaign event in Bloomingdale earlier this week and snapped a pic (click here) of Rauner wearing protective clothing.
But Tina had to wear the same outfit…

It’s a costume party when you are covering Bruce Rauner

Covering Rauner’s bull is so toxic one has to wear protective gear.

It’s a wash covering Rauner. With Bruce you are required to have themed press availabilities. Pat Quinn, you never got any sleep, covering Pat working day and night…

The precautions covering Rauner are many, but the liability wavers brought upon covering Slip and Sue, that’s the real pain covering the Administration.

Just in case the Governor says he needs a hug.

Very stylish, but does it come in lavender for spring?

The governor says it’s not a campaign event if we wear these clothes.

Do these safety glasses come in a smaller frame?

Would you like your sloppy joes extra sloppy? Then reelect Rauner

Take the political beat, they said. It’ll be great for your career, they said. It’s a totally dignified job, they said.

Additional journalist personal protective equipment included hip boots, respirator and a shovel to dig one’s way out of the pile of BS surrounding 1.4%’s non-campaign campaign.

Covering Rauner is like going to a Gallagher Comedy Concert…

Due to the amount of bovine scatata splashed about by the Bruce, wise people in close proximity take precautions !

When you’re an unwittingly Extra on “Dad’s Home State”
“Well, you just never know about an extrie. They come and go. Every one else, I’m on the set, I see the guy setting the 5K I think, Why, there’s old Bud, setting the 5K. Script girl, wrangler, same thang. Extries, that’s different. Not making a blanket call here, I mean, there’s good extries and bad extries. All I’m saying. You look at an extrie, you got no idea what he’s thinking.”
