Caption contest!

Posted in:

* Gov. Pat Quinn spoke at a Springfield business group event today. From a reader…

Outside Abraham Lincoln hotel in Springfield. If this is a Rauner thing, they need to get higher quality signs! God knows they can afford it.

* The pic…

That’s not a great Blagojevich mask, either.

  1. If someone develops better Blago masks, put me down for one….

    Comment by OneMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:49 pm

  2. Ronald Reagan looks more rubbery than usual.

    Comment by The Captain Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:50 pm

  3. Maybe this guy’s head just isn’t big enough to properly fill up the Blago mask.

    Comment by itsmyopinion Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:53 pm

  4. Maybe that’s actually Rod. Although I suspect his hair is much greyer by now.

  5. RAUNER CAMPAIGN APPROVED AS FEDERAL ‘WORK RELEASE JOB PROVIDER’

    “Stu Levine was one of my references”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:56 pm

  6. Who is he supposed to be?
    I can’t keep track of all our convicted governors.

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:56 pm

  7. Who would have thought that Illinois politics would be laced with fantasy figures - Squeezy, children’s characters - Pinnochio, and caricatures of our crooked governors.

    This is entertaining. Although, I do recommend a little more effort into the signage and costume. Common Man, you’re a .01%ter. You can afford a quality attire.

    Comment by Norseman Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:57 pm

  8. Nice spelling of subpoena.

    Comment by Ron Burgundy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:57 pm

  9. Looks more like Charles Bronson than Rod Blagojevich.

    Comment by Yellow Dog Democrat Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 12:59 pm

  10. “Really, it’s like ‘department store Santas’, however we know the real Blago is in Colorado, marking those tapes, checking them twice…”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:01 pm

  11. Before making that sign, a postcard was sent, nothing on it, to Red, postmarked from Zihuataneio…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:06 pm

  12. I think he is having problems with a small species of peonies.

    My English speaking gardener can help you with those subpeonas!

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:07 pm

  13. Release was granted to Blago after beating the guards in a tackle football game he played Quarterback in…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:07 pm

  14. “AND Kathleen wouldn’t serve me.”

    Comment by Dirty Red Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:07 pm

  15. “Pat, you never call or visit any more. I miss our time together.”

    Quick turnaround time on the subpoena issue, less than 24 hours. The masks and signs are likely to be higher quality in a few days.

    The combo of Quinnochio and orange jumpsuit Blago shadowing Quinn at events will make for some strong visuals.

    Comment by Formerly Known As... Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:09 pm

  16. That can’t really be Rod because his orange jumpsuits have the gubernatorial seal on them. Ryan ordered new ones when the old ones Kerner and Walker used wore out. Besides, George went commando in them and you know how much Rod and Tony Rezko hated sharing undies!

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:09 pm

  17. Rod’s got 99 problems, but Pat Quinn ain’t one.

    Comment by Chris Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:11 pm

  18. What’s a “problems zoo”?

    Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:11 pm

  19. Hey, is that Mayor Daley!????

    Comment by Shark Sandwich Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:13 pm

  20. I’m getting confused here.
    Just how many men wearing orange jumpsuits representing our past, current and future governors can we have at these political rallies?

    I could have already seen this driving out of Joliet yesterday. I thought they were picking up litter. Maybe that was a political rally?

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:13 pm

  21. Oh, that’s a “sans serif” letter “t”

    Good choice, BTW, that font says, “I’m sad, but determined”.

    Powerful font.

    “Caption?”

    “I only had enough money for a new hairbrush. The sign and marker were actually a gift …”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:15 pm

  22. - Shark Sandwich -…

    For the win…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:16 pm

  23. I heard he can’t use his patio to water those subpeonas anyway. Judge’s order.

    And he needs to wear an oxygen tank.

    Comment by VanillaMan Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:16 pm

  24. Is this a little like criminals going back to the scene of the crime, thingy?

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:26 pm

  25. What that sign says to me is; What we got here is… failure to communicate…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:33 pm

  26. Hmm…I thought this was an actor from “Escape from the Planet of the Apes”

    Comment by Jake From Elwood Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:36 pm

  27. “Just like Rauner, Blago’s only a flight risk from responsibility”

    Comment by Precinct Captain Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:48 pm

  28. OW is on a tear. #cracking up!

    Comment by Bored Chairman Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:55 pm

  29. “Hey…hey…HEY! They have a cream for that ‘Subpeona’ now. No more shots!”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:55 pm

  30. Thanks - Bored Chairman -,

    Blago would have gotten into the meeting, but after the 3 rd attempt through the metal detector, amazingly enough, it was noticed the ankle cuffs were setting off the machine.

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 1:58 pm

  31. Look, why rip on me, obviously this is a very low budget operation!

    Comment by I B Strapped Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 2:13 pm

  32. “My English is not so good. I’m the One Kid They Left Behind.”

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 2:15 pm

  33. Amateurish.

    Comment by Stones Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 2:17 pm

  34. What I looked like after a month in a GTCR owned nursing home.

    Comment by AFSCME Steward Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 2:23 pm

  35. Now I own another bankrupt liability. That’s what they told me if I held this sign.

    Comment by Walker Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 2:56 pm

  36. Pretty poor mask. It could be one of about a dozen persons.

    Comment by Upon Further Review Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:07 pm

  37. Shark, well done.

    Comment by Soccermom Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:07 pm

  38. I love work release days when my only job is holding up signs.

    Comment by Tsavo Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:09 pm

  39. Anybody got a “shank” they want to trade for a U.S.Senate appointment.

    Comment by Tsavo Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:10 pm

  40. I held up this dumb sign and all I got was “The Bird” from some guy driving by who had AA on his license plates.

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:22 pm

  41. Is that Barickman?

    What’s a “problem zoo”?

    Comment by A. Nonymous Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:35 pm

  42. What me worry?

    Comment by zatoichi Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 3:53 pm

  43. A guy with problems. Not only does he have an ugly rubber face, now his subpeona is acting up.

    Comment by AFSCME Steward Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 4:24 pm

  44. Last week, all I had to wear was a hat and silly nose.

    Comment by Norseman Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 4:56 pm

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 5:46 pm

  47. I bought a Blago rubber mask at a Chicago costume shop on North Milwaukee Ave.

    Comment by JoeInPeoria Wednesday, May 7, 14 @ 9:49 pm

  48. it’s May, people!

    Comment by 21st State Thursday, May 8, 14 @ 1:14 am

  49. Conditions for the home health care service should be constantly improving as well.
    Freelance opportunities may be more forthcoming so far as medical
    transcription jobs are concerned as compared to other healthcare fields.
    Thankfully, a bit of gentle soap could banish the odor for good.
