Shirley

[Name blocked by request] over at Makes Me Ralph has a sweet post about Shirley Madigan.

She’s a polar opposite from her husband, Michael Madigan, Speaker of the Illinios House. She’s open and funny. And unlike Madigan, who’s personal presence seems to suck interpersonal banter into some kind of conversational black hole, she loves to tell stories.

Whatever you think of her husband, Shirley is about the nicest woman you’ll ever meet, and long after people have forgotten who Michael J. Madigan was, the projects and programs that Shirley has helped implement will still be going strong.

[Name blocked by request] did get one thing wrong, however. The Speaker is a grand story teller in private, off the record conversations.
