Today’s quotable

Posted in:

* Rep. Moylan got a little carried away /s

The governor said he “balanced four budgets in a row” and saw the state’s credit rating upgraded six times.

“We’re going to go block-by-block, house-by-house to elect the greatest governor in the history of Illinois, since (Abraham) Lincoln,” an enthusiastic State Rep. Marty Moylan (D-55th) told his hometown crowd.

…Adding… I forgot that somebody sent me the video last night

Classic Marty.

  3. Sounds like Marty is already angling for a cabinet post if JB becomes president.

  4. “Fired up” doesn’t even begin to describe him.

  5. You know, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that JB is actually a better governor than Lincoln was.

  13. Soccermom @5:43–I think you nailed it. Same loveable enthusiasm, no matter what he’s actually saying.

  14. Marty should lay off the weed

    Comment by Michelle Flaherty Tuesday, Nov 1, 22 @ 5:48 pm

  15. What happened to the Democratic Party I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts? Me, I’m not taking it anymore.

    Comment by Oldtimer Tuesday, Nov 1, 22 @ 6:13 pm

  16. I remember when Lincoln got over his skis (take a mental picture) anyway he got ahead of himself and never got the Democratic nomination for President. too bad he might have been good

  17. And I am sure Marty supports full funding for education and no unfunded mandates. Otherwise he would not have such a full grasp of not only US, but Illinois history. than goodness for that lottery money.

  18. and just when I thought the screaming to a crowd hall of fame—- that contains Neil Hartigan, Alan Dixon and Eddie Roswell—was over, here comes Marty….. Bonus points for him if his face got real red like those old days pols.
