Caption contest!

* Madigan, corruption, taxes and toilets. Lather, rinse, repeat. From the Illinois State Fair Republican tent…

…Adding… Just making sure I point out that they misspelled the word Madigan. It’s not “Madgian.” Y’all say his name like 78 kabillion times a day, for crying out loud. Get it together, please. #ILStateFairFacePalm.

Sheesh.

2. And here I thought Jeanne Ives was Madigan’s favorite.

3. Like I was saying before, no way all these errors are accidents. No one can see Madigan a million times and then put Madgian on a poster on accident.
