Gov. Pat Quinn referred to Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) as "the worst congressman in America" at a brunch event among Democrats in Springfield this morning while he discussed candidate Tammy Duckworth's campaign. Walsh responded maturely by saying Quinn is totally "the worst governor in the country." In related news, I'm rubber and you're glue...

The Daily Herald writes:

The Walsh campaign quickly hit back, calling Quinn "the worst governor in the country presiding over a state with 8.6 percent unemployment and a massive unfunded pension liability."

Quinn, spokeswoman Erin Rapp said, "should spend more time focusing on how to solve Illinois' fiscal crisis and get Illinoisans back to work rather than share his unwarranted opinions on the congressman.''
