Tough on crime, friendly with felons.

DB: Our state would have been a lot better off had the Willis family left a few minutes late on their tragic day.

GR: You got that right.

A continuous embarrassment to all Illinois public officials- and convicted felon, former Governor George Ryan

“Darren, lemme tell you, you’ll enjoy retirement from public life…”

George, what year did you buy your shirt? 1975?

Comment by Just Sayin Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:54 pm
The KDJ article is worth reading. Darren tells a story about a democratic hairdresser from Highland Park who just happened to be running the clippers for him in Effingham so that he could explain what he actually meant without the dastardly media twisting his words.

Totally believable stuff for anyone who has been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently.

Comment by Larry Bowa Jr. Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 2:54 pm
GHR- “sorry, I don’t understand a word you are saying.”

DB- “eye wuz talkeen about SKULEZ.”

GR: Free piece of advice. Regarding the holocaust, maybe keep your thoughts unsaid.

=Totally believable stuff for anyone who has been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently.=

Why are you insulting people who have been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently?

“Darren, your tent revivals are things of legend”

DB But aint that a lie?
GR Not if dont do anything…tee hee

===Why are you insulting people who have been hit in the head with a 2×4 recently? ===

According to Rauner, the entire state was hit in the head with a 2×4 when the tax hike passed over his veto.

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:19 pm
Darren, you’ve got soft hands.

Comment by Bigtwich Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:20 pm
“Darren, remember, you did all this to yourself”

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:22 pm
GR:How about getting a bite to eat at the Little Corporal or the Bon Vivant or the Redwood Inn and we can talk over Illinois politics?
DB: Sorry George, but those places are has beens just like you. I’m the new face of the Illinois GOP.

You might want to lay off the hellhole stuff until mid-november.

Say Hi to Scott Fawell for me.

When the time comes, and it will, ask for the corner cell closer to the showers.
You’ll thank me later.

Comment by Bruce( no not him) Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:52 pm
DB: Look George, if you hadn’t fractured the Party the way you did, we might not still be suffering from a lack of top tier statewide candidates.

GR: You are welcome.

Comment by SOIL M Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:53 pm
I thought George had more sense than to consort with rabble like Beetle Bailey.

Comment by Manchester Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:54 pm
“Darren, if it wasn’t for me, Blago would have never been Governor.”

Comment by Just Sayin Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:55 pm
==Say Hi to Scott Fawell for me.==

Also say Hi to Bill Cellini for me. What’s his number?

Comment by Just Sayin Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:55 pm
George, can you sell me some of them “licenses for bribes?”

Comment by Just Sayin Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 3:56 pm
Wow, that KDJ story is staggering.

Bailey asked a woman cutting his hair if she heard about his bungled statements about Highland Park. She said no, and said she didn’t want to hear about it. So proceeded to tell her his side of the story. Then he told THAT story to a group of supporters later.

Dear Lord this guy is like a little leaguer taking a couple swings in the Big Leagues

Comment by Senator Clay Davis Friday, Aug 5, 22 @ 4:02 pm
No worries, you will never see prison because you will not be governor.
