I accept your award as “Mr. Irrelevant.”

Lifelong Democrat and Actual Chicagoan Headlines GOP Fundraiser on Street That Doesn’t Actually Exist in Chicago.

Comment by The Opinions Bureau Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 12:02 pm
Ask about our Paul Vallas Pricing. Pay $47.80 but act like it was $50.01.

1535 N Madison?

Tell me you’re not from Chicago without telling me.

As former GOP move away from the MAGA GOP, Vallas moves MAGA. Goodbye Paul.

How to list your many and recent public failures as accomplishments.

They fixed it in the headline, but the error is still in the body.

Mr. Vallas’ first series topic: How are you feeling about that Johnson vote now?

Comment by H-W Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:05 pm
Indiana man Kass must be doing the comms work for them . . . .

GOP says we couldn’t get him to stay on subject if we tried so we aren’t going to try.

Chicago GOP host pillow talk with Paul.

And intimate affair, that is guaranteed to put you right to sleep.

Comment by twowaystreet Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:11 pm
I know this is supposed to be just a fun caption, but this is outrageous if you stop and think about it.

Paul Vallas insisted just last April that he was a “lifelong Democrat.” He hasn’t had a change of heart. He was (obviously) lying.

When a used car salesman lies like this, you don’t do business with them. How could any voter ever trust anything Paul Vallas says?

Enough ranting. Here’s a caption: “Paul Vallas will lead storytime at the GOP fundraiser Monday. Vallas will read selections from his favorite historical fiction and fantasy stories.”

The Chicago GOP hosting a “How to Win Campaigns” seminar from Paul Vallas actually fits on many levels.

Comment by NIU Grad Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:21 pm
Mr. Vallas will be discussing his recent innovative corrective surgery, which has allowed him to become his true self as a political non-binary.

Comment by Keyrock Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:23 pm
It says it will be at the Billy Goat Tavern, 1535 N Madison. There is no 1535 N Madison in Chicago.

Life Long Democrat

There is a Billy Goat at 1535 W Madison for folks making the yucks. And even if I’ve been insanely disappointed so far in Brandon Johnson and his team, I am still happy that Paul Vallas is not my mayor. What were Jesse White and Durbin thinking?

Comment by Chicago Blue Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:34 pm
“As a lifelong Democrat let me tell you how thrilled I am to be invited to infiltrate your organization. Although, I must say, it did take me a heck of a lot of time to find this location.”

Comment by West Side the Best Side Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:44 pm
I agree with Chicago Blue. Brandon Johnson has been a disappointment, but I can’t imagine Vallas would be making me proud to be a Chicagoan.

Comment by James the Intolerant Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 1:46 pm
$50 down the rat hole. and not the fun one.

Comment by Amalia Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 2:09 pm
Three-time loser to share his wisdom with Chicago GOP.

Comment by Dunwich Snorer Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 2:17 pm
I still regret that Metro East delivered the nomination by a narrow margin to Blagojevich over Vallas in 2002.

Comment by Gravitas Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 3:12 pm
“I still regret that Metro East delivered the nomination by a narrow margin to Blagojevich over Vallas in 2002.”

A Vallas nomination would have been a solid path to Governor Jim Ryan, if his campaign track record is any indication.

Comment by NIU Grad Tuesday, Jan 23, 24 @ 3:42 pm
@NIU Grad:

And your point is?

Blagojevich wound up being impeached and the entire state suffered for his madcap tenure. Anybody would have been better than Hot Rod.

=Anybody would have been better than Hot Rod=

Darren Bailey enters the conversation…

Not Rauner, he did way more damage. And you may be the first person to find Blago hot.

If there were a rematch tomorrow Palos Paul would still lose.
