(since I can't edit comments....) While re-reading the Blago quote I noticed that Margaret Lyons wrote "scat enthusiast", but in my rapid reading I missed that. It's still a hilarious reference.

1) I submit the following as a new potent quotable: "I hope 'scat enthusiast' is what Illinois voters remember when Blago is up for re-election." - leavitt That is HILARIOUS!! 2) Mr. Jones must've forgotten that unlike bus and train fare, taxpayers do not subsidize his McDonald's coffee purchases. I would make a comment about memory and old age here, but.....I forgot what I was going to say.

That makes three members of the Illinois government - including the governor - who compared the governor to a little kid. He gets that that isn't a compliment, right?

Maybe blago is hoping some seniors will be on the jury that decieds how long he goes away for.

Neil Steinberg calling everyone that lives downstate "hicks" was pretty funny as well..

No kidding and the CTA already gives seniors a discount. Blago the Jago, what an embarrassment he is. At least I can say I didn't vote for him.

I hope "scat enthusiast" is what Illinois voters remember when Blago is up for re-election. I don't know which is worse, his purely-political 11th amendment, or his telling his critics that they need to pray more.

Mr. Jones, a "senior discount" for your McDonald's coffee is a discount not a freebie.

I liked Madigan's statement that he "wanted to congratulate the governor for breaking his campaign promise not to raise taxes."
