As a white male I don’t have any comment

Don’t shoot.

Say hello to the heaviest member in Jesse White Tumbler history!
Comment by Grand Avenue Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:02 pm
Well this was a bad idea, I should’ve done a smelfie first.
Comment by Gruntled University Employee Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:03 pm
Why do politicians still act as thou we’re still listening to them and seeing them from a crowd hundreds of feet away? This silly pose is cringy, obsolete and forced.

Red rover, red rover, send Bruce Rauner over.

Would JW have endorsed with white male running mate?

Jessie White demonstrates the proper jumping jack technique to JB.

“Don’t shoot” … that reminds me …. What I really want to know is did the governor spend our scarce tax dollars in a state police security detail for his travels to Boston?

JW: Do you see the light?
JBP: The band…
JW: Have you seeeen the light?
JBP: Yes! Yes! Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ…I have seen the light!

“It is not my place to comment on every cartoon or picture that comes from people outside the governor’s office or to tell people how they should feel.
“I urge everyone to put this picture behind us so we can focus on solving the very real challenges of education fairness and economic opportunity facing our state.”

This is perhaps the most valuable political endorsement in Illinois. JB has put together an impressive operation.

Jesse allows JB to be one of the tumblers providing a target, but does not allow him to be the last one jumping over the stack.

Gonna be tough to top 360 Degree TurnAround.

“You thought Republicans sold out fast to Rauner’s money?
With my money the Democrat party will be replaced by the Pritzkercrat Party before my petitions are due!”

“I don’t know where I am, but I know this white boy will feed my tumblers for generations”

Pritzker: “Holds your hands up high so we look like a pretty ribbon.”
Comment by Christopher Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:25 pm
“Rauner couldn’t even buy his state party until he was sworn in. I’m closing the deal 8 months before the primary.”
Comment by m Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:28 pm
Jesse: “I really like his position on, um , ah, I mean… He’s a real um… [Laughs] Yeah, let’s get serious here, it’s all about the money.”

off-stage announcer’s voice: “Ladies and gentlemen… the new hit group The Three J’s… Julianna, Jesse, and JB.”

All at once from the rafters above Puppeteer Madigan controls three people via invisible wires tied to their joined wrists

Yes. We’re on a mission from God. Now all we need is four whole chickens and a Coke.

Pritzker endorses the White-Stratton ticket.

Who loves Mike Madigan? We do!

Wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care.
Comment by Gruntled University Employee Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:35 pm
JB can only raise one hand above his head at a time……

Question: which woman in Illinois politics wears her skirts in the high manner of Mike Madigan?
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 3:49 pm
Cropped out of the picture is Madigan above them on the cat walk pulling the strings that raises his puppets’ hands.
Fake Steven Yaffe.

All four look forward to 2018.

If I raise two hands then my jacket opens a little too much.
Comment by zatoichi Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:01 pm
Rich - thank you. An artist, such as myself, must draw upon inspiration from others.
Comment by 360 Degree TurnAround Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:04 pm
Governor Rauner: Rep. Stratton, Secretary White, and JB Pritzker join in forming a large celebratory M in tribute to the man who controls them all — Mike Madigan.

“We bring Jesse out as a prop when we want to win an election.”
Comment by Anon312 Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:26 pm
And that should seal up the primary for me. Now who do I grab to end the General before petitions even start.
Comment by DuPage Bard Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 4:39 pm
Two of the three adults have proper body mass porportional to their age and height. Guess which two.

Jesse to J.B. : I am older than Moses and can remember a time when “Stratton” referred to a powerful Republican elected official.
Comment by Anonymous Wednesday, Aug 23, 17 @ 5:32 pm
Brown suit and black shoes. Will ever again we have a governor who can dress himself?
