Emil: “Thanks for the call, guys. Last night, we all agreed — cabana wear! Where’s my Panama hat, I’m leaving!”

Steve Brown: “The Mayor and Speaker have agreed to help you out with that extra early retirement package, so you will be able to fly directly to Aruba. No need to go back to Chicago.”

Only Uncle Toms follow the dress code. Sorry, that’s all I got.

Emil: “You know what I see? I see three backup singers who still don’t have the choreography down for the Barry White tribute medley. There, I said it!”

Mayor (speaking into his hand quietly):
“Mike, Emil, just back away slowly and maybe he’ll leave us alone…”
Comment by GoBearsss Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:15 am
Mayor: “So you say, Mike, that it only takes 2 hours to charge each night?”
“It’s all for show!”
Madigan: “Yea, I just pull that string, and then who knows what’s going to come out of its mouth!”
“You might want to look up the definition of delusional”
Emil: “That’s a hoot. How do I get one of those?”
“What’s Lisa thinking?”
Madigan: “Uh-oh, I hate when it malfunctions. Darn cheap Chinese parts…”

“So who knows where there’s a good restaurant around here….?”

Supplicants kiss the hand of Senate President-for-life Emil Jones as he holds court for the final time after his unexpected decision to abdicate.
Comment by Angry Chicagoan Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:33 am
Y’all need to look up the definition of “business casual.”
Comment by Mr. Cub Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:36 am
So even though we don’t always seem to see eye to eye on everything, we can agree the GOPs can not stop dropping the ball.

“Hey, this deal I have in mind will give your friends and family members big contracts,”… it’ll be business as usual,the public won’t care…after all you guys control things in Springfield and Chicago!”

So, how do we do the group hug thing again?
Comment by Pat collins Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:38 am
Daley: “how do you think I would like with a mustache?
Comment by Ghost Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:40 am
How the hell should I know…all I DO know is that when MY alarm went off, everyone was gone and all three of you were still napping.

Didn’t you get the memo on Proper Business Attire? You’re fired.
Comment by North of I-80 Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:46 am
Mayor: Hmmm, so let me get this right, Steve…I hug Junior, then Mike gets up and hugs Rod…and then you want WHO to hug Lisa?
Comment by Commonsense in Illinois Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 11:46 am
Daley thinking: “That hug with Jesse was so nice. Hmmm. Maybe too nice. Maybe he’ll get the wrong idea. I wonder where I can find some butter pecan ice cream around here? Stupid Chinese didn’t have any. Mmmm. Chinese food. When’s lunch? Is my car ready? Do I have to stay here any longer? Maybe I can have the driver find some butter pecan ice cream. Mmmm.”
Comment by Rich Miller Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 12:02 pm
Ok, when Rod comes over, everyone pretend something smells. Rich, you cover your nose, Emil, you say something incoherent, and Mike, you just look at him like you do when he addresses the General Assembly. Oh boy is this gonna be fun!

Steve Brown: ” So I just got off the phone with the Obama camp, and unfortunately Mr. President, they aren’t going to let you walk out to the theme from the Godfather. What about a nice, calm Stevie Wonder song?”
Comment by Kevin Fanning Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 12:17 pm
your decision to delete my entry borders on over protective
I can’t imagine any of those people would be offended by what I said

Moe, Larry, and Curly corner Shemp to see if he still fits into the act.

Steve Brown: “This many years, and still, no one knows you guys work for me. Now, here are your marching orders…”
Comment by Pot calling kettle Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 12:23 pm
As Steve makes his pitch for Fantasy Football Commisioner this season, Daley thinks to himself …”Steve, now Steve, he would make the best Commissioner, but Emil will have more time on his hands … jeez, Mike was too heavy-handed last year … I’ll just back Steve and be done with it.”

Thank god we didn’t nominate a woman, hope the Republicans don’t!
Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 12:34 pm
siriusly, I think I deleted it because I was offended.

Ok so thats 4 perfectly cut apple wedges for both of you
Comment by prairiestatedem Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 12:47 pm
“I can see you are skeptical Mayor Daley, but the Speaker’s plan of dissolving the state Senate after Emil retires, and for the Speaker to become the ‘Lord Protector’ of the IL House and anything legislative makes a whole lotta sense…”
Comment by In the Land of Silos and Cows... Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 1:25 pm
pssst…Mayor! get Emil and Mike to talk to the hand, NOT YOU! The guys in the inconspicuous unmarked van outside aren’t picking up anything but you breathing and that belch….
Comment by Belle Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 1:27 pm
Steve Brown (saying): “Okay, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10 . . .”
Mayor Daley (thinking): “Between 1 and 10 what? dollars? children? aldermen? CTA buses?”
Emil Jones Jr. (thinking): “There are no numbers between 1 and 10. Why bother with numbers that small?”
Michael J. Madigan (thinking): “What’s that lump in Emil’s shirt pocket?”
Comment by Captain Flume Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 2:20 pm
Steve to Emil: You! Let’s see some ID!
Comment by rudy Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 2:21 pm
Steve Brown: “So our proposal is that the Speaker dance with the Attorney General in the Legislative Leader Celebrity Dance-Off. And since no one wants to dance with the Governor, that leaves you two as partners. Sorry.”

Emil to the group: The shirt? It’s from the new Adam Clayton Powell jr. Bimini Beach Collection…
Comment by Sweet Polly Purebred Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 2:49 pm
E. Jones: “Er…uh…how ’bout those White Sox, guys?
Madigan: “You means, Cub, right?”
Daley: “No, he MEANS White Sox!”
Brown: “So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted - we really need to stay focused on smearing Palin…”
Comment by Black Ivy Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 2:52 pm
Emil Jones is a Cub fan. Seriously.
Comment by Rich Miller Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 2:54 pm
You’re killing me, Rich! I am grasping at anything to keep my spirits up. Biden is chosen, not Clinton. McCain picks Palin, who is being unfairly torn down.
Even thoguh the Cubs have the best record in baseball, the White Sox are all I have left (for now!). So, work with me, Rich.
Comment by Black Ivy Wednesday, Sep 3, 08 @ 3:16 pm
Daley: “This is ground control to Major [Jones], you’ve really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear,
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare
Emil: “This is Major Jones to ground con-trol, I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very difeerent today
Madigan: “For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do”
Brown: “And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no….”

The perfect photo characterization of the “Good Old Days” before Fitz turned the rules of the game inside out and upside down. Ahhh ! Those were the days !

Daley: I don’t care if the whole world is watching… Hey, wait a minute. Where have I heard that before?

==SPECIAL “JESSE JACKSON” UNDISCLOSED AUDIO TRANSCRIPT JUST IN FROM THE TRIB ‘SEWER’ BLOG==
RMD: “I’m tryin’ to be, youse know, discreet about dis, but somebody lifted my wallet durin’ all the huggin’..”
EJJ: “Not me, Richie. My hands were right here in my pockets the whole time. See, I didn’t pack enough box..”
MJM(interrupts): “Look, Rich, you don’t think it might have fallen out of your coat pocket by accident?”
RMD: “Coat pocket? No regular guy carries a coat wallet. Whaaddaya you talkin’ about?”
S?B: “Look, there’s Blago buying big party hats and umbrella drinks for all the people from the CTU. And he’s paying…cash?”
RMD: “That @#$*^(*^%*!”
MJM: “I tried to tell you, Rich.”
EJJ: “Rod! Rod! Get me a pina colada! And maybe some nachos! No, I don’t want a hat. I would look stupid!”
