Quinn: And everyone said, Pat why do you want to be Lt. Gov. I said wait, just wait, They all called me insane- ha, I’m just one more witness away from taking over.
MJM: Yeah, Pat you were right we all called you nuts. Just keep a few steps away from Jones, he’s not going to be happy. Oh well, I’m still the speaker.

I’ve got a better one,
I once had a boss named Rod
Who seemed to think he was God
A pawn for Chris and Tony
We all knew he was phony
And that’s why…
Comment by Quizzical Wednesday, May 7, 08 @ 12:22 am
Mike, this isn’t funny!! Rod actually believes he has a shot at Vice President under Obama..
