Now that I’m actually Governor, I don’t have a clue what to do!

Do you think I would have taken this job if I knew the official Governor’s belt and belt buckle were this big?
Comment by Montrose Friday, Oct 30, 09 @ 12:12 pm
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall.
I really don’t know clouds at all.

Balancing the right and left is really quite easy when you have no idea of what you’re doing.
Comment by Anon Friday, Oct 30, 09 @ 12:29 pm
On the one hand, I’m for ending free rides.
On the other hand, I’m for keeping free rides.
On the third hand, I was for ending the rides before I was for keeping them.

It’s a tie between Montrose and MrJM, and I doubt anybody will beat those two. Let’s call it a day and move on

Blago corrupt? Who knew!?
Comment by ABCBoy Friday, Oct 30, 09 @ 12:36 pm
Of course it’s a good idea to borrow your way out of debt. You know, we’ve made a lot of promises to a lot of people, and eventually they will want to get a check. And when they start calling, we forward those calls to the comptroller’s office. Are you people following me here? The ankle-biters must be contained!

What should we do about the free rides for seniors, hmmm… Where is my magic 8 ball?

I like a lot of these. But my favorite amongst many favorites is a view from the cheap seats.
“Can someone help me start finding a new job?”
anonymous45, Dan Hynes and 7 or 8 republicans are trying to do just that. I take it you will be supporting Dan Hynes or one of the republicans from now on?

Quinn struggles to learn the macarena at a recent press conference.
Comment by Small Town Liberal Friday, Oct 30, 09 @ 1:34 pm
Whenever I see Quinn on TV, I wonder how long it will be before the consensus on him moves from “He’s a nice guy, but…” to “He’s completely out of his depth”? It’s moving in that direction already, don’tcha think???

Is there a Governor in the room?

I’ve studied all the options and the only path we can travel is to invade Missouri. We sail at dawn!

“So the move was right out of Blago’s playbook? What’s the big deal?”
But my vote goes to Vote Quimby. Classic.

No caption needed, look at the performance so far and the picture says it all.

Comment by colt 45 Friday, Oct 30, 09 @ 2:06 pm
On the one hand Carol Adams had an employee who did nothing but drive her, and on the other hand she had another employee who did nothing but drive her.

To All The Promises I’ve Made Before - Nelson, enhanced by VanillaMan
To all the promises I’ve made before
To those who walked in and out my door
I meant it all along
Please don’t get me wrong
My career has made a sharp detour
To those beliefs I once professed
And may I say I’ve held the best
Sometimes it was for show
I owe a lot I know
Especially after Blagojevich confessed
These winds in me are always blowing
And every time I try to say
My bloviating mind starts flowing
And it just carrys me away
To all the supporters who shared my life
Whose back is now feeling my long knife
I’m glad they supported me
To raise every tax and fee
I hope it doesn’t cause too much strife
To voters who will vote for me
I promise a budget ecstasy
I’ll veto all the lines
For I’m smarter than Dan Hynes
He’s just an ankle-biter, you see
The reformer in me is always fighting
And it is still within me
But you know after two terms with Rod
I’m not as reforming as I used to be
To my fellow Democrats who find me a bore
Please stop racing out the door
I know we can solve this
Just give my ring your kiss
If I’ve misspoken, then listen some more
To CapitolFaxBlog guys Bill and Rich
Frankly I’m not sure which is which
I’m not as bad as you think
Let’s get together for a drink
My positions are always open for a switch!

OH NO! Rich Miller is about to ask me a question about free rides for seniors. Where’s Blago’s Wall-O-Children-&-Elderly when I need it?

wordslinger,
I thought all the best ones had been said. I fell on the floor on that one. I can see PQ now, with that Colonel Blake hat with all the lures stuck thru it bumbling around in the alumicraft while the ankle biter drives the hook into PQ’s heel. What a picture!

“… so I finally reeled it in, and it was this big! I decided that it would be good if someone else experienced the same joy and satisfaction of making a catch like that, so we took out the hook and put it back in the water.”
