You think it’s cold outside? You should feel it right here.

“Comp-trolling.” n. 1. Slow-playing a special election bill and even acting like you were against it, before you were for it, to remind the outgoing and incoming Governors who is Boss.

Ok, boys let’s try it again, do I have your destiny in my left hand or do I have your destiny in my right hand?

Tim, when did you get that note from Quinn that he’ll turn off the heat in the Capitol until we support his special election bill?

That photo has such a vintage look to it that when I first saw it, it struck me as odd that it wasn’t black and white.

Mapes works up the courage to inform the Speaker that he missed a button.

Munger Supporters;
Are you paying attention? lol
“10:27 am..,button coat
10:29 am…finish buttoning coat”

===Munger Supporters; Are you paying attention?===
This post is just outrageously sexist for berating a man for being powerful and well-dressed! I’m outraged! Do you know that he was just leaving a “productive” bipartisan meeting with the Governor-elect when this photo was taken? Context, please!!!!!!
Comment by Rich Miller Wednesday, Jan 7, 15 @ 4:33 pm
The Speaker is disinterested when Tim Mapes tells him that he’s banned Rich Miller from eating anywhere within 3 blocks of the Capitol in retaliation for some snark in a Capitol Fax Question of the Day.

“And you tell Munger…the ‘No Cell Phone’ bit is mine….”
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Jan 7, 15 @ 4:35 pm
Do you ever wonder if Rauner “really” believes that he can change things around here?

“Caption?”

Carson, I can no longer deny times are changing. While I am in the capital on important government business, can you send Bates an e-mail and let him know his services are no longer needed.

Where did his eyebrows go? Did they freeze and fall off or did his makeup person get stuck in their driveway?
