He wore a suit in DC with the plutocrats and an ugly plaid shirt back home with the rubes.

Just a good ole’ boy…
Never meanin’ no harm…

My advance apologies to Waylon Jennings, Luke, Bo, and all ‘Dukes’ fans everywhere.

Another insulting costume

Working out? Or just squeezing the ‘you know what’ out of that poor guy’s hand?

Comment by Father Ted Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:19 pm
His Dartmouth cap, unlike this one, has been worn before.

Comment by Keyrock Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:23 pm
What is this costume supposed to be? He looks like some of my 80+ year old relatives. What kind of footwear is involved?

Comment by Neveranonymous Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:31 pm
The varicose veins on the arms match the neck. These bulges are probably because there is very little body fat.

The question is why is there little body fat?

Comment by Claud Peppers Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:32 pm
This was in Rochester. Should be a solid area for him, but he was greeted with crickets…….

Comment by Uh, OK Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:32 pm
My pants are high, my sleeves are short, my buckle is big. I’m ready for retirement.

===Also, nice hat.===

“Aw shucks, Rich. Just cuz there ain’t much of a workforce there don’t mean I can’t support the Fightin’ Illini.”

“Like the hat? I got it at their ‘going out of business’ sale.”

Comment by Han's Solo Cup Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:48 pm
Rauner seems very relaxed, rested, not as anxious as he was a year ago. does he know something we don’t?

Comment by CCrider Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:50 pm
You know those guys who rip phone books in half? Same thing, but AFSCME contracts.

Comment by Griffin Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:51 pm
Vote for me and this hat will be a valuable relic of days when we had a State University system.

Comment by Quizzical Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:52 pm
Someone has to do the heavy lifting in this state………..

“Sorry, I couldn’t find my Dartmouth hat.”

Comment by Nick Name Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 3:59 pm
Combo costume: Illini fan plus farmer impostor. Twice the votes from what he considers targeted gullible rubes.

All it took was a trip to Big “R” by the lowest BTIA(tm) gopher in the pecking order.

Comment by Stumpy's bunker Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 4:05 pm
He lloked ridiculous.
No one cheered him.
He grabbed hands.
His costume belonged in Picksley or Hooterville, not Illinois.

Comment by VanillaMan Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 4:07 pm
I’m not sure holding 3 pound hand weights when rollerblading qualifies as pumping iron.

Maybe he has gotten some pull up tips from Greitens.

Comment by Henry Francis Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 4:11 pm
Illinois? I thought this hat was from Indiana.

For Rod the football was a hair brush. For me it’s Baby Oil. GRRRR.

Gov. Rauner sports a brand-new cap from some place that doesn’t have much of a workforce and can’t keep companies with more than six people.

Comment by wordslinger Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 5:10 pm
Last week I was being feted by Grover Norquist. This week, I back with the rubes.

Comment by Huh? Monday, Jul 2, 18 @ 5:35 pm
Did you hear, I just bought a farm. I’m so excited. I got my hay balin’ clothes on. Gonna bale up some of those little round bales and put em’ up in the attic of the barn.
