Hug it out, Bitch

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan hugged each other Wednesday in the name of unity at the Democratic National Convention.

The two have barely spoken the last couple of years. Blagojevich has repeatedly attacked Madigan over a long list of issues, and Madigan won't attend meetings with the governor.

But the two were at the front table of the Illinois delegation's morning breakfast meeting. Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. was talking about Democrats putting aside differences and insisted that the two men hug.

The two men laughed and embraced, prompting a standing ovation from the crowd. I can't believe they both didn't shivving each other.


If you don't follow Illinois politics the way I do - as it's the most entertaining local politics of the 50 states - these two men HATE each other -- HATE... HATE... like, who needs Republicans - I'm not working with this guy... kind of hate.

That's why this is funny. I lol'ed when I saw it - er - heard about it. Yeah. Heard about it.
