    Comment by Ron Burgundy Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm

  2. No need to wait until Halloween for a scary movie. See “Jeanne Ives… Madigan’s Favorite Candidate,” coming to a theatre near you on March 20th.

    Comment by Christopher Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm

  3. Ives: “Don’t worry, Mr. Speaker, I know you’re in charge. Also, send Local 150 my love for the campaign cash.”

    Comment by Pritzker Plumbers Inc. Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:04 pm

  4. Jeanne Ives…Madigan’s Favorite Candidate. A totally fictitious comedy farce.

    Comment by Roman Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:05 pm

  5. Critic’s choice award winner.

    Comment by Acadian Driftwood Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:06 pm

  6. (Whispers)

    “Boo…”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:06 pm

  7. 1. Mike Madigan fired his agent for not getting top billing.

    2. They missed the tag line: “Just when you thought it was safe to read your mail ….” or maybe “You can Rauner, but you can’t hide.”

    Comment by The Old Professor Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:07 pm

  8. “Vote No against payin’ your bills.
    Rated NC 17 for No Cash and a $17 billion dollar bill backlog.”

    Comment by Deadbeat Conservative Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:08 pm

  9. Strange Bedfellows … starting Mike and Jeanne

    Comment by RNUG Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:08 pm

  10. Are Republican primary voters likely to buy this silliness?

    Comment by slow down Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:09 pm

  11. I’ve seen the ads, too. All Rauner can do is say that Ives is part of the vast Madigan empire/conspiracy against him? Lame.

    My reaction: Dude, is the ANYTHING you don’t blame on Madigan?

    Comment by Terry Salad Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm

  12. And Ron….does that also extend to the police and firefighters unions?

    Comment by Galena Guy Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm

  13. Ives: “I’ve something to tell you.”
    MJM: “Please let it be about property taxes!”

    Comment by Downstate Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:10 pm

  14. Whisper: I’ve got a poll that shows us workin’ together. Get used to the idea.

    Comment by A guy Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm

  15. “Rated -13% by Rotten Tomatoes”

    Comment by Arthur Andersen Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm

  16. ===ANYTHING you don’t blame on Madigan? ===

    The weather… I think.

    Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:12 pm

  17. Rated BBB-

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:13 pm

  18. “You know you don’t have to act with me, Mike. You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Mike? You just put your lips together and… blow.”

    Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:14 pm

  19. If taking money from Chicagoland Operators makes her a puppet, Rauner probably doesn’t want to look at the rest of the Republican House or Senate caucuses…

    Comment by Man with a plan Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:15 pm

  20. Rauner wants democrats pulling a GOP ballot for Jeanne

    Comment by Rabid Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:16 pm

  21. I draw my inspiration from commenter Ron Burgundy.

    Mike Madigan connection - 60% of the time it works every time.

    Comment by Pundent Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:17 pm

  22. I figure the BTIA is telling Rauner that a mailer a day like this is bound to get his favorables up to at least 30%

    Comment by don the legend Friday, Feb 16, 18 @ 4:17 pm

  23. Typical Hollywood: The public is clamoring for something fresh but Rauner trots out another sequel in his MJM horror franchise. Yawn. (Gotta admit, I’m surprised he cast Jeanne Ives as the ‘Bride of Madigan’.)
