Mr. Illinois State Legislator
‘Real Men of Genius’ right in our Statehouse
I’m waiting to hear this commercial:
“Bud Light presents, ‘Real Men of Genius’”
(Singer: “Real men of genius!”)
“Today we salute you, Mr. Illinois State Legislator.”
(Singer: “Mr. Illinois State Legislator!”)
“You did nothing in regular session. So you had to go the extra mile. Now you can charge the people more for incompetence, neglect and for basically doing nothing.”
(”I walked in two parades!”)
“You even received a stipend for meals, even though no politician has paid for a meal since Abe Lincoln ducked into a Gettysburg Waffle House back in 1863.”
(”Doing nothing makes me hungry!”)
“You’ve spent our money wisely on sports stadiums and the like while avoiding the pork projects such as schools and hospitals. You even remembered to give yourself a raise.”
(”All we need is more casinos!”)
“So crack open a cold one, old keeper of the gridlock, or better yet - let the state of Illinois get this round.”
(”Mr. Illinois State Legislator!”)
