Ballsiest Statement of the Day
“Why don’t you all understand that what has been done here is legal? I am the junior senator from Illinois, and I wish my colleagues in the press would recognize that.”

Technically, the press are not his colleagues. Peers, perhaps, but even that is off mark. What a guy.
God bless Illinois. Or God save it.
