Speaker Madigan and his trusty sidekick break for a quick caucus in J.B. Pritzker’s uninhabitable servants’ quarters.

Madigan: “Oh JB darling, come here and dance with us!”

Want to dance goldberg

That’s confusing, I thought Madigan always lead. White is fashionable for spring though. lol

Please Rich. It is Sunday and that is something that cannot be “unseen”

Personally, I’m just glad someone is dancing, rather than just sitting in an immaculate workshop, playing with a roll of duct tape.

No caption, but this graphic along with the language of the editorial suggest that the creators are trying to work out something personal that has nothing to do with returning to a semblance of responsible governing.
Seriously, until this very day, in all my 53 years, I never had visions of Madigan/Cullerton, ballroom dancin’, twerkin’, or shaggin’.
I could have lived another 53 years without that mental image.
To whoever came up with it — good luck. It gets better, I hope.

Never realized what a cute tush MJM has in a gown.
Maybe that’s why he wears his pants that way. Baby got back!

Jeeze John my back is killing me from carrying you all these years

Echoing Wordslinger’s point - just like with Dan Proft, and others of his ilk, they seem to sublimate anger about personal matters with which they are grappling into their politics. I’d encourage them to step back from the politics and instead find a supportive community that can help them come to peace with who they really are. Better for them and better for the rest of us.

If this is from the News-Democrat, I’d hate to see what kind of pictures the Belleville News-Republican would run

Who’s the gangly horse toothed goofball wanting to cut in?

So… Do the two fiddles in the background represent Durkin and Radogno???

Belleville Democrat. Where our photoshop is better than our journalism
Comment by Rogue Roni Sunday, May 28, 17 @ 5:56 pm
Cullerton rightly gets credit for being a heck of a dancer, but Madigan doesn’t get enough, especially when you consider he had to dance it all backwards, while wearing heels. That’s not easy folks.

Lame editorial board trolling hits new level of ridiculousness.
Comment by Norseman Sunday, May 28, 17 @ 6:59 pm
The Lord’s day and we get to see this? Frankly the picture is not with Rauner who cannot seem to dance to anything thing except campaigning non stop, but unable to govern. I had to admit at least Madigan can say he has produced budgets and red ink. Rauner cannot produce anything period.
Comment by Cleric dcn Sunday, May 28, 17 @ 7:08 pm
Makes absolutely no sense with Cullerton leading….
Comment by Ducky LaMoore Sunday, May 28, 17 @ 8:25 pm
“John, are you completely sure this will show Rauner how it takes two to tango ?”

In the Senate we’ve mastered the Dip.
Now we’re going to change costumes and demonstrate how the House specializes in the Lift.
Comment by A guy Sunday, May 28, 17 @ 9:29 pm
“Sure, Cullerton was great, but don’t forget that Madigan did everything he did… backwards and in high heels.”
Also, it appears that the Belleville News-Democrat is in the market for someone with more than a week of Photoshop experience.

Looks like the Speaker has gotten just about everything off his chest. His dance body looks like an 11 year old’s.

BND editor: Illinois Policy Institute? Sure sounds legit. I’m going to use their polling to call for more bipartisanship!
