* From a very reliable person who lives in Chicago…

I was walking to work and see this guy standing on the curb yelling into his phone. Look over. It’s Bruce and Diana. He has crutches and a scraggly beard. He looks disheveled. And he keeps correcting someone on the other line and yelling his address into the phone.

The former governor was standing outside his apartment building when he was spotted yesterday. I had heard he’d injured his ankle.

* Meanwhile, Mrs. Rauner was spotted at the governor’s office in the Thompson Center yesterday…

    Comment by 47th Ward Wednesday, Jul 3, 19 @ 11:38 am

  24. Hi, I’m Diana Rauner, a Democrat. Bruce sent me here because he can’t make it and can’t let go of the place. He’s been in terrible shape since losing and was so angry this spring that he kicked the trashcan van.

  46. It’s Diana, the former First Lady. I came to see what a real governor looks like and if there are any positions open in his administration. Bruce wants to leave Illinois and was screaming in the phone for someone to get him out of here. He was so angry he kicked our very expensive condo and hurt himself, but I love the place more now.

  49. Bruce spends all day yelling at the Italians over the phone because they keep “losing” his security deposits for a villa. Just yesterday, he broke his ankle chasing squirrels around the backyard yelling “I’ll get you this time Madigan!” at 3am in the morning. I just don’t know what else to do…

Diana’s former state employee hands Diana her unforwarded mail. Hud and Anne open a consulting firm specializing in failing right-leaning moderates, the Looch spends the afternoon in a baseball skybox with the Ricketts family. Comedy. 59 minutes.

  112. “how disparaging Governor Rauner and First Lady Diana Rauner has become a sport for you”

    We aren’t disparaging 1.4% as a person. We are making fun of his caricature of a governor and “every man”. There is no bias against 1.4% as a person. The animosity is due to his behavior and intentional destruction of State government.

    I am sure that 1.4% is a pleasant person while he sips his $10k wine of the month club bottle of chablis. However, based on his penchant for bending the truth and wearing costumes in an effort to be an “every man”, he has shown the residents of Illinois is that his administration was a caricature, worthy to be laughed at.

    Down here we wouldn’t call that a sport; more like shooting fish in a barrel. Such a wealth of material, an embarrassment of riches. (But I must admit, OW and others have elevated it into an art form.)
