I love this woman because she never asks me pesky questions like why haven’t I ever submitted a balanced budget like I was supposed to 2 years ago.
Comment by just sayin' Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 1:37 pm
She’ll be as good for middle and working class legislators as I’ve been for union members.
Comment by AC Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 1:37 pm

I’m workin’ as hard as I can to git a budget passed. I’m callin’ the Speaker everyday to talk about solvin’ our problems. So, if the States owes you money, don’t blame me, talk to her. She’s the one who’s writin’ the checks as fast as she can.

“Matt… I wanted you to stay in the senate, Leslie was reassessing… ask her what reassessing mean, I don’t know… “
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 2:05 pm
She’s in an orange vest to be the visible target for the arrows I’m supposed to take.
Comment by Huh? Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 2:09 pm
Anon-uh-mis, I was thinking the same thing. That east coast elite toothiness. Buckley had it too.
Comment by Henry Francis Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 2:10 pm
Ya know, the great thing about being rich is you can buy anything you want. I just bought her soul for $5 million.

“Don’t pay the GA, which is 75% Democrat? Oh, that was her idea.”
Comment by AlfondoGonz Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 2:12 pm
That’s a hunting vest. I think she had good luck bagging a couple of big ones Friday.

“Leslie is my secret weapon to get legislators to leave. When enough legislators quit, Leslie will reassess, and maybe the rest will get paid. Maybe.”

Back to the Future IV: The turnaround
Once the DeLorean hits 88 mph, McFly becomes comptroller and Biff bankrolls the whole production with his 1.21 gigawatt campaign account.

I said, “wear your huntin’ costume and I’ll wear my Midwest country boy costume. Well look like regular Joes!”
Comment by Harvest76 Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 3:02 pm
She solved the Carhartt chafing problem by wearing a vest instead. Brilliant!
Comment by AC Monday, Oct 3, 16 @ 3:22 pm
That’s right here name is Leslie and she loves Carhartt and all of her thoughts are original. Isn’t that right Leslie?

She is rich and does not need that state paycheck. That makes us a good team to work together.

“Nah, it LOOKS like a huntin’ vest, but it’s really a fishin’ vest, like when ya reel in five lunkers. Get it? Lunkers? Big fish? Harty har har har har!”
