“So, Mr. Harmon, let me end this with, ‘I’m the governor, I’ll take it from me’… don’t summon me to a Zoom call again, unless you are bored and feel the need to write another gift letter”

“He’s just sitting there. Said he’s waiting to hear back from Madigan, but we told him, the Speaker has no computer, let alone Zoom on it. So, he sits there, from 7 am to 7pm… i don’t think he blinks…”

Don’s video work is much better than his letter writing to Congress.

“Don? Are your speakers on, Don… Mr. President… Don… can you hear us… is he frozen… I think he’s frozen… well, text him… No, he’s frozen… he can’t see that?… Don, you’re frozen… how can he not see that… send him another invite… no, tell him to turn the whole thing off… Don, it’s. Not. Working. … call him… no, don’t text him… who’s he on the phone with… support won’t help, tell him to log off…”

Remember this intro…”Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, Stronger, Faster!”

Sen. Harmon is no Lovie Smith.

Did anyone else catch that T. Cullerton went the opposite of everyone and shaved? He had been rocking a beard for quite a while.

Tech Support: “Senator Harmon did you try turning your computer off and on again?”
Comment by Steve Polite Friday, May 1, 20 @ 12:29 pm
Outstanding…
might add that the diversity of the Senate Dem caucus really stands out in this video.

The Harmon Paradox: his beard is white, but somehow makes him look younger.

The Speaker will join the conference in a moment, he just needs to download Zoom onto his landline.

Just picked up the old axe after forty year absence and I am salivating over those guitars

Here is hoping Steve Brown lends Madigan his beard for his Zoom/Microsoft Teams round table.
Comment by Helm Friday, May 1, 20 @ 1:06 pm
I think the beard looks good.

Yes, I take requests. You want “Hard Times Come Again No More,” by Stephen Foster? O.K.
Comment by Keyrock Friday, May 1, 20 @ 2:49 pm
Great video from the Senate Democratic Caucus. President Harmon pulls off the beard really well, very Oak Park professorial with near prefect coloring.
Comment by Anon Friday, May 1, 20 @ 3:03 pm
As i’ve always said, Oak Park is a lot like Evanston.
Kind of a college town.
Without the University.
Or the lake.

Love the multilingual thanks. Even the shout out to the Andersonville (?) French community.
