Question of the day

Posted in:

Illinois

On a campaign stop for his bid for governor, State Sen. Daniel Biss, D-Evanston, stopped by Joliet Junior College Sunday to talk to voters and accept an endorsement from fellow Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill.

“I’ve served with Daniel for five years,” McGuire said. “We know he’s smart. He also has a really big heart and he works like the dickens.” […]

For McGuire, he argued that what sets Biss apart, is his ability and willingness to tackle issues big and small. Over the hour and a half event, Biss spoke with the 40 or so attendees about property taxes, pension reform, balancing the budget and education funding.

“I don’t think we can afford another rookie governor in Illinois, Democrat or Republican,” McGuire said.

I’d buy a car from this guy.
Too bad he isn’t selling one.

What, exactly, is he saying about pension reform? As a chief author of the old SB1 that was ruled unconstitutional, I wonder what he has in mind. Anyone know?

Comment by ash Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 1:51 pm
I’m what?
No way.
He is saying that?
Oh man - if I wasn’t me, I’d so vote for me - again.

“I am sorry Dan I must have dozed off while you were talking, I thought I was endorsing you for budget director

politicians are usually not the smartest person in the room but great ones higher people that are.

“Now you’re asking yourself ‘Why are you endorsing Dan Biss’… I know why… but I just forgot for a second… “

I remember the first time we met.
Our eyes met, and I though, “Wow. When I run for governor, he’s going to totally endorse me.”

Comment by VanillaMan Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 1:58 pm
We aren’t. But we’re in 100% support. And if we were. He’d be the guy.

Comment by A guy Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 1:59 pm
I’m so impressed with me.
Pat, you complete me.

Comment by VanillaMan Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 2:00 pm

PMG “So the I says to the horse, why the long face?”
DB “I don’t get it Pat? “

Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 2:18 pm
“Donald Bliss”
“A hard working young fellow”
“Remember that name - Donald Bliss - don’t confuse him for that guy in the White House. Donald here is a man for Illinois.”

“And then I told Dan, no it’s not Pat Quinn’s tie”

Comment by We'll See Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 2:30 pm
I love you Danny, so why the long face?

Comment by Anonymous Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 2:57 pm
Young people only listen these days if you’re a rapper. So I’m just going to say:

Ignorance is bliss
I’m too old for a bris
Dat’s why I’m backing my good friend, Biss.

Daniel Biss, yo.

For the last time, I’m not Pat Quinn, I am wearing glasses. Pat Quinn and I may both be white, balding, paunchy, and wearing purple ties but I am not Pat McGuire, I mean Quinn, I’m not Pat Quinn…

Help me get this guy out of the senate

Comment by Anonish Tuesday, Aug 22, 17 @ 3:40 pm
PM: “And he is going to bring Barry Sanders here to help him campaign!”
DB: “That’s Bernie, Pat, Bernie Sanders”

“I don’t think we can afford another rookie governor in Illinois, Democrat or Republican,” McGuire said.

Biss: “But Pat, I’d be a rookie governor, too…”

McGuire: “Don’t get smart with me, kid.”

OK, he’s got a purple tie, his name’s Pat, and he’s Irish, do I really want to be endorsed by the guy Rainer beat?
