The New Messiah

Great post by Marathon Pundit on the one-party-state of Illinois politics. It was Governor's Day at the Illinois State Fair.

And here is a delicious quote on Illinois' junior Senator, (hat tip Marathon Pundit) Daily Southtown:

Everyone knows House Speaker Michael Madigan is a man of few words.

Last week, he uttered a special one: Messiah.

"There's been no word from the messiah," Madigan answered wryly when I asked whether he would be supporting Democratic Treasurer nominee Alexi Giannoulias in November.

Original post, Obama on the Spot too.

And in case you missed it (saw it on Drudge) here is this hilarious pix of Obama in Metropolis, via Capitol Fax. Here's another one at Reverse Spin.
