    "There goes our Governor...
    He must have taken advantage of the special summer OT flight package -- $5800 RT Chicago to Springfield and a bag-full of hair products."

    Flying to Springfield at taxpayers expense: $5,800

    Cost to taxpayers of each day of overtime session: $50,000

    Seeing the expressions on the faces of the suckers/taxpayers who voted to reelect Governor you as you fly overhead: Priceless

    I would love to hear Abby Ottenhoff's suggestions on how a minority House Republican can move the budget forward.

    Milo can't be subpoenaed at 15,000 feet. Milo's planning on spending as much time as he can in the air. He's hoping Fitz and Lisa forget about him.
    Still like the Virgin Galactic idea. $200,000 per pop. No problem for Milo, it's not his money.

    From the Under Dog cartoon - "Look, it's a bird. No, it's plane. No, it's a frog. Nope, it's just little ole me, Under Rod. We can even give him a cape - a red cape - to symbolize the debt he's put us in.

    The "Want to get away?" line was great. Southwest should contract him to do commercials, they would be great.

    Anyone else notice the Richard's column conclusion to raise the income & sales tax and throw in a little gaming so we can solve all the problems.
    Who should tell this Duchess of Dopiness that most everyone likes this except for her hero ---Blago?
    I nominate Rich since he is on their payroll.

  • Tek · 2 years ago
    Wow, is that the best response Abby could come up with? Excuse me, but isn't it the freaking GOVERNOR who should be leading???
  • Yellow Dog Democrat · 2 years ago
    "The governor ought to be able to get around quickly."

    Agreed, but it seems to me that the walk from the Governor's mansion to the State Capitol is much quicker than the round trip flight from Ravenswood Manor to Springfield.

    I have an old Chevy Pickup for the Bag-o-chips,,,,so he does'nt have to fly the Unfriendly sky's,,,,and maybe he could see the pot holes first hand in down state IL.

    "Realizing Blago's embarrassing inability to move beyond his talking points in the budget negotiations, the Governor's staff decided it best if Rod just take his cue cards and fly around the state for a while to just tell the voters, once again, about how brilliant his budget is."
  • Ferdy · 2 years ago
    Sorry, ladies and gentlement of the Illinois state legislature, but I always fly solo.

    Perhaps a bit verbose, but a good t-shirt designer could do something with it.

  • Buffnut · 2 years ago
    How about this for a t-shirt idea? from the Elton John song Mama Can't Buy You Love.

    Madigan don't want you, Daley don't want you
    Give it up Blago, Illinois won’t buy your healthcare plan
    Hillary don't want you, Obama don't need you
    Give it up Blago, Emil can't buy you love
