Default OT: Illinois Governor stupid quote of the week - 05-11-2007 , 07:19 PM






After the State Legislature turned down his massive tax increase by 107-0,
he says,

"Your lawmakers in Springfield sometimes forget where they come from.
Sometimes they forget who hired them."

Just because even the Dimocrats in Springfield know that if they pass BJ's
tax increases, they can kiss their seats in Springfield goodbye.

Then they wonder why I call him Governor BJ?

I think that's the definition of irony.

You got to admit its a pretty bad tax when every single legislator,
Republican and Democrat, (and they are mostly Democrat in Springfield) voted
against it.

That is one of the most breathtakingly astonishing examples of hubris I've
read this week. How come nobody has kicked this idiot in the ass yet? How
come HE IS IN OFFICE TO BEGIN WITH?

It is sad how ordinary men who attain a position of power somehow come to
believe that they have been elevated to godlike status.

What was it that Rush used to say? "It's not YOUR money"!

You are lucky the governor and the legislature are separate. In Canada they
are one and the same. Up here the premier (governor) can push through
anything he wants, anytime. And he does.

They've banned NOT smoking? That's a first.

Amazingly illiterate reply. Are you a product of the NEA's unionized
education system?

Is this (unquoted) reply meant to induce me to to buy from you? If so, it
has failed abysmally.

Janitorial supplies and candy? Do you put breath mints in the urinals or
something?

With all the smoking bans, it amounts to almost a prohibition of smoking.
Next thing you know, there will be 'smokeasies' just like we had speakeasies
in Chicago in the 1920. Hey, Joe Camel sent me.

Did we learn NOTHING from the failed 18th Amendment?
