Spin for Quinn:
James Nowlan, a senior fellow at the University of Illinois’ Institute of Government and Public Affairs, said it [Quinn's 2012 budget proposal] reflected the priorities of a man “whose every bone aches to do good for little people.
“Pat just can’t say no to people’s needs,” Nowlan said in a telephone interview. “That’s a part of who he is.”
Quinn's Liberalesque follow through:
Illinois governor Pat Quinn pulled a move reminiscent of Jay Cutler and decided to quit on his bet with Wisconsin governor Scott Walker on the NFC Championship game last year:
Gov. Scott Walker delivered Wisconsin foods to a Kenosha food pantry Monday morning, but noticeably absent was the man who was supposed to be there with him, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.
Walker bet on the Packers last winter in their National Football Conference championship game, while Quinn backed their opponents, the Chicago Bears, in the friendly wager.
Because Walker won, Quinn had been supposed to work in a Wisconsin food pantry while wearing a Packers jersey. But after the controversy surrounding Walker’s legislation ending collective bargaining, Quinn hasn’t made a move to head north across the border.
So Walker himself delivered foods from Wisconsin Monday, which included brats, cherry pies, cranberries and honey. He tweeted news about the delivery this morning and Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirmed the delivery.
Liberal spin:
Although some may falsely accuse Governor Quinn of welching on a bet, the plain fact is that deep down Pat just doesn't feel that Packer fans rise to the level of 'little people.'
If Pat Quinn can avoid the Illinois Governors' Go Directly to Jail Syndrome, I'd say he has the proper Liberal character to challenge President Obama in next year's primary.
