* An old buddy of mine was in Speaker Michael Madigan’s Chicago office not long ago and snapped this photograph…
You may not be able to tell from the pic, but Gov. Rauner’s image is super-imposed on a “bop bag.” You’ve seen those. You punch them and they rock way back and then right themselves.
* The Question: Caption?
Please be careful not to get carried away with the violent imagery. This is supposed to be a fun little Friday thing. Keep it light and funny and harmless. I don’t want any visits from the state cops. Thanks.

Which one has more accomplishments, the bop bag or governor?

Who’s the dude wearing the tie?

“Great idea. Love it. Now if only we could find some way to sell these. What’s that computer thingy that Rauner uses to sell his Fire Madigan tchotchkes?”

“We used Rauner’s own hot air to fill it”

I always pictured MJM and Tim Mapes as the real-life version of Monty Burns and Smithers so I have to go with, “Hold my apple, Mapes, as I hit this silly contraption.”

Nothing but a sand bag full of hot air.
Comment by Henry Francis Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:32 pm
That bag is filled with sand that Madigan had told Rauner to pound for 4 long years.

The bop bag bounces back a lot better than the Governor will this November.
Comment by Perrid Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:34 pm
That is so funny. Is there a Ken Dunkin one, too?

The original “Bozo” 3-D Bop Bag.
Comment by The Colossus of Roads Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:38 pm
Would have made a great fundraiser item for Dems. They could even get some GOP buyers, not to mention McCann.
Comment by Norseman Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:38 pm
I was wondering why I seen Madigan go in his office with a pair of boxing gloves after Rauner made a tv appearance.

But if it was Maxine Waters….

Comment by pool boy Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:44 pm
But does the bop bag punch back?
Comment by Nick Name Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:47 pm
I want one. The state party should sell these things.
Comment by Glengarry Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:48 pm
“Huh. Rauner isn’t in charge… “
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 2:48 pm
5 bucks to whoever knock the smirk off of this thing….

Keep in top form for November 6.

“I wonder if 10-15 years ago there was a similar bop bag for Blago.”
Comment by Leatherneck Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:15 pm
If you peel back the image of Rauner, you can see he used the same bag with Quinn’s face on it.
Comment by Earnest Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:18 pm
Why are these not for sale? I want one.
Comment by Cheryl44 Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:24 pm
“Bop him if you got him.”
Comment by JS Mill Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:24 pm
Fake MJM: “Uh well, you know, it was one of those office incentive ideas. Come up with the best new social media idea and you get to go a couple of rounds with the governor.”
“There were no takers.”
Comment by JS Mill Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:25 pm
Leatherneck -
10-15 years ago would have been a niche market with “extreme” interest for one of John Filan. /s
Comment by Smitty Irving Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 3:27 pm
Speaker told me, unlike other bop bags this one does not right itself when punched.

Must be an older photograph- his face isn’t nearly as gaunt-looking as it is nowadays

I’ve seen photos of Madigan in a t-shirt, my money’s on the bop-bag.
Comment by Stuntman Bob's Brother Friday, Jul 13, 18 @ 4:25 pm
So, no matter how hard Madigan hits Rauner, Rauner keeps popping back up?
