At one point in his statement about the need for the other leaders in state government to focus better, Governor Quinn flashed a peace sign to represent the fracking compromise efforts while simultaneously using ASL to sign I Love You first to veterans and then to proud union members. Catching sight of his four upraised fingers he then invented a new four-point plan to address the pension funding crisis and re-emphasized he wasn’t concerned about who he would be running against at the end of his four-year term.

While you all are focusing on his fingers, I couldn’t help but notice the flag pin.

That’s an AMERICAN flag pin, people.

I kept hearing that Quinn is a Godless Communist Intent on Destroying Illinois and Turning it into a Socialist Wasteland (or at least that’s what I read on Illinois Review) but if he’s got a flag pin, that can’t possibly be the case.

GO QUINN! USA! USA! USA!

Inept politicians face a crisis in Illinois. They are facing more exposure by news outlets and challenges from within their own party. Help us keep the status quo.
