Column: Pritzker blasts critics, but they won’t be silent or silenced – Champaign News-Gazette

Jim Dey: "While devoting much of his speech to undeniable improvements in the state’s financial picture, he once again went out of his way to denigrate those who contend that the state still has serious financial problems. Combining his two favorite insults — 'carnival barkers' and 'spelunkers of misery' — Pritzker denounced 'misery’s carnival barkers.' He was referring partially to the financial analysts at Truth-in-Accounting and Wirepoints."

“Combining his two favorite insults — “carnival barkers” and “spelunkers
of misery…”

Can you imagine Guv Pig Pork as a “spelunker”, lol…!!!

“spelunker:

a person who explores caves, especially as a hobby…”

He should fire his writer – spelunker of misery? Wha???? I wonder how many people turned to Google for that one!

We know he’s never been a spelunker – wrong body type.

Which confirms that Truth in Accounting and Wirepoints are over the target.
