SPRINGFIELD - The Democrats that have run the state of Illinois into the ground unchallenged for a decade aren't happy that they're getting push back from a longtime weak IL GOP. But apparently, they're just not gonna take the IL GOP pickin' on them any more. Governor Quinn calls Congressman Joe Walsh the "worst congressman in America" and Walsh retorted that Quinn's the "worst governor in America"
WLS reported about Wednesday's Governor Day at the State Fair –
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn calls outspoken Rep. Joe Walsh “the worst congressman in America.”
The Democratic governor didn’t mention Walsh by name Wednesday, but he was talking about congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth’s opponent. She’s running against Walsh, a Republican from McHenry.
Quinn didn’t explain his assessment, but Walsh has been criticized for a series of comments. They include saying Duckworth talks too much about the injuries she suffered while serving in the military.
You've got to love Walsh feisty response:
In response, Walsh’s campaign says Quinn is the nation’s worst governor and should focus on the state’s budget problems.
But this is the kicker:
The governor also goofed during his speech when he said “Obama” is dead. After a few seconds of confusion from the audience, Quinn corrected himself to say that Osama bin Laden is dead.
