* Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti in the Tribune…

Asked what she and Rauner disagree on, Sanguinetti listed two areas — one serious, one not so much.

“So, he doesn’t know how to dress. And I’ve tried to help, but brother won’t listen,” Sanguinetti said, referring to Rauner’s typical uniform of casual ranch-hand slacks with a plaid button-down shirt and ultra-long sport coat. Sometimes, the governor swaps the coat for a vest.

“He’s his own person. He beats to his own fashion drum, but that’s one disagreement,” Sanguinetti said.

The reason ole Slip and Sue is fine with the disagreements is that she was “hired”… when Pat Quinn’s administration wouldn’t hire her when she inquired via email for work.

That’s all Slip and Sue sees.

She was hired. She’s grateful.

It’s about the job. She made it clear long ago.

Awwww that’s cute. Reminds me of his campaign commercials when Diana would joke about his ugly shirt. And it almost makes me forget about all the damage he has done to the state.

Well played, Ducky.

Visions of Barbara Billingsley.

What an embarrassment.

Hey, Evelyn, I dont think the first thing any other female politician would think of is Rauner’s fashion sense. But thanks for trying to set the movement back.

Don’t you be DROPPIN THE G’S all the time. Even in the flat lands we sometimes speak English the way it should be spoken.

Who really gives a R* A* what he wears? One might think Slip&Sue might care about starvin’ the colleges, the scandal at the Quincy vets home or the very late response on opiods as somethin’ to care about.

She’s uniquely suited for the constitutional mandates of the office.

Well, ain’t she cute….

I think I just pulled a muscle rolling my eyes.

“And I told him I needed to pray on it.” Apparently her deity told her as long as they are destroying social services AND funding abortions, they make a good team.

While Evelyn is making him look Fab-U-Luss, perhaps she can suggest ways to balance the budget.

Comment by Jocko Tuesday, Jan 9, 18 @ 12:50 pm
She truly is a stable genius.

Comment by Dee Lay Tuesday, Jan 9, 18 @ 12:58 pm
So the lack of fashion sense by 1.4% is the serious area of disagreement? /s

Bruce isn’t in charge regarding what he wears, but he’s trying to be…

My momma no raise no dummies.
State government has been reduced to a 1980’s satirical parody film. Thanks Slip and Sue.

For me it’s certainly not a problem that super-rich people dress casually, it’s that Rauner uses attire to con people into thinking he’s a “regular working class guy.” Trump doesn’t pretend to be working class in appearance; his con is his rhetoric. Bruce does both but Trump is such a better communicator and media person. Rauner fumbles and stumbles without talking points.

“He beats to his own fashion drum”

And I guess Evelyn beats to her own idiom drum.

She’s spent 3 of 4 years studying the “problem” of our 7000 units of government in IL and she’s got … nothing …

It must really be tough to need to check all/any of your ideas with the Gov - as his Lt Gov - as though he was your boss …. oh, wait ….

Magical thinking, Bruce is the answer to your prayers, cardinal rule

Rauners clothes are intentionaly worn to be a visual lie to hide who he really is. But Sue thinks its a cutesy chuckle because us little folk are to dumb to know it.
