2. GT, I sent him an e-mail. Haven’t heard back.

3. No Bruce, you’re not getting on.

   Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:24 pm

4. “Send one to Ken Dunkin… he’ll understand.”

   Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:25 pm

5. My first thought too.

   If Drury got one, $50 says he returns it “out of principle.”

   Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:26 pm

6. No clock and no plaque makes Scott Drury a very sad boy.

7. …I getcha…every time they ask me a question with the word “Madigan” in it, I’m supposed to answer using the word “Obama” (and maybe “Trump/Rauner” thrown in for good measure). Don’t worry boss, I’ll show them how independent of you I am.

8. I think Scott Drury would point out that Obama’s vision included meaningful gun control, not legislation that looks like gun control but does nothing.

9. We are honored that he learned to vote Present here as a State Senator and we taught him advanced deficit spending so he would fit right in in Washington.

   Comment by Stand Tall Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:41 pm

10. Drury would also likely say that Obama wants fair election maps - but not the IL Dems.

11. Mike hangs Obama on his colleagues

    Comment by Rabid Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:45 pm

12. Only time will tell if this gift is appreciated by the members.

    Comment by Honeybadger Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:46 pm

13. Those cards are going to get tossed with a speed and enthusiasm usually only seen at a five-year-old’s birthday party.

    Comment by wordslinger Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 2:53 pm

14. “Mike Madigan and the world leaders he controls…”

    Comment by Anonymiss Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:01 pm

15. What is imprinted on the cheese knife that comes with it?

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:20 pm

16. The cheese knife is imprinted with Joe Biden’s quotes.

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:22 pm

17. I just saw Drury on QVC selling it for “the unbelievable price of 4 easy monthly payments of $19.99″

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:24 pm

18. You should see the matching Koosie to keep drinks chilled.

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:26 pm

19. PS - Hi Michelle - after reading Jodi Kantor’s book about what you think of me, I thought I’d send you one too. Bygones? Mike

    Comment by lake county democrat Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:29 pm

20. “He made it out of Springfield, but you won’t.”

    But in all honestly, never forget the fact that Madigan openly mocked Obama after 2004, sarcastically calling him “The Messiah,” which was the favorite put-down of right wing talk radio at the time.

    Comment by TKMH Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 3:29 pm

21. I never realized what a weird or child-like signature Madigan has. I wonder what a signature analysis expert would say about it.

    Comment by Protege Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 4:05 pm

22. Hey Scott…..No Soup for you.

    Comment by 13thone Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 4:12 pm

23. For three easy payments, you can get the plate and flatware to go along with this placemat.

    Comment by Jocko Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 4:16 pm

24. The day trump won the New Hampshire primary, was it hope?

    Comment by Rutro Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 5:05 pm

25. The latest limited edition collectible from The Franklin Mint, it can be yours for the low, low, price of your soul and your vote. Or 3 easy payments of 29.95!

    Comment by Captain Obvious Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 8:30 pm

26. How much can i get for this on ebay?

    Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 8:46 pm

27. “I never realized what a weird or child-like signature Madigan has.”

    Product of childhood penmanship classes and lifelong use of writing instruments rather than typing.

    Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 8:49 pm

28. Very eager to hear if I have to change my nickname.

    Comment by DrurysMissingClock Wednesday, Apr 11, 18 @ 9:44 pm

29. I’m back baby

    Comment by Rabid Thursday, Apr 12, 18 @ 8:08 am

30. I have the poor man’s version of one of those from President Carter’s visit…
