Though not a smoker, Senate President Cullerton has sponsored a bill to require this photo of himself to be added to every pack of cigarettes sold in Illinois in order to frighten teens who are thinking of taking up the habit.

“To avoid the negative publicity the Mayor of Chicago is struggling with right now, Senator Sandoval has volunteered his services as bodyguard at no cost to taxpayers.” — Senate President John Cullerton

Comment by Wensicia Wednesday, Jul 13, 11 @ 9:27 am

Planning for the next production of Capitol Capers has begun. “Mayberry Today” will feature Martin Sandoval as Sheriff Alejandro Taylor with John Cullerton as the irrepressible Deputy Paddy Fife.

Casting these two clowns as the replacements for Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy for an appearance at the Illinois State Fair is not likely to go over to big with the corn dog munching fair visitors.
We will have to come up with something better!

Can Rich Miller of Capitol Fax participate in the harness race? That’s a sure fire winner!

Cullerton: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Sandoval: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” - but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
