Goldberg: You know how they’re going to come at you?
Rauner: They want to arrange a meeting between me and Madigan. In Andersson’s district. Where I’ll be safe.
[Goldberg is silent for a long moment]
Goldberg: Andersson. I always thought it would be Demmer.
Rauner: It’s the smart move. Andersson was always smarter.

MM: “Did the threats of violence you endured from your own constituency make it easier or harder for you to face reality?”

Ask Sam McCann, you will be fine
Comment by Redraider Friday, Jul 7, 17 @ 1:17 pm
Kinda puts it all in perspective when it’s clear that making a deal with me and having a “%^%*&^(* problem” is a better option than a deal with Governor “Junk”.

SA: I came here because there is gonna be another special session. I want you to know about it before it happens so that there’s no danger of starting another war.
MJM: Nobody wants another war.
SA: Governor Rauner came to our caucus and demanded we vote No on the override. When I refused, he threatened to have me primaried. He was stupid, I was lucky; I’ll visit him soon. The important thing is that nothing interferes with our plans for the future. Yours and mine.
MJM: You’re a wise and considerate young man.
SA: And you’re a great man Mr. Speaker. There’s much I can learn from you.
MJM: Whatever I can do to help. You’re young, I’m old and sick. What we’ll do together in the next few months will make history, Steve, history. It’s never been done before. Not even the Governor would dream that such a thing could be possible.
SA: Then Rauner’s agenda for the special session is dead, you don’t object?
MJM: Bruce Rauner is small potatoes.

“Thank you sir. Now we wait for Moody’s to downgrade us to junk, the rich all leave, manufacturing will become non-existent and no income. Then we have it all to ourselves. WaHaHaHa”

Thank you. My power is very important to me but I actually care about Illinois some too. If I had a heart, it would go out to you.

MM: “No, no. It feels like a regular suit jacket to me. Who’s been telling you it’s a turncoat?”

SA: “You look much more lifelike up close.”
MM: “You’re too kind. I’ve been taking probiotics, ya know.”

“Representative, tell Durkin no hard feelings, it wasn’t personal… “
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jul 7, 17 @ 2:08 pm
SA: “And you’re really not using a joy buzzer now?”
MM: “Nope. That’s just how it feels to shake hands with me.”

MJM: Oh don’t worry Steve, I’m here to help. Everything will be alright.
SR: Was that a camera flash behind you?
MJM: Hm? Oh no… just sun glare (snickers)

Mike Madigan: Sorry Steve, I guess both you and Bruce will be out of a job. Me? I think he’ll run another Latino that doesn’t speak Spanish again.

SA: “If I’m walking kind of funny, it’s because the Governor gave me a wedgie.”
MM: Heh. I hadn’t noticed.”

I know I should be saying ‘thank you’. But why should I be thanking you or anyone else for doing their job?
