Musical Chairs

Kass takes a boatload of shots at Illinois pols, most pointedly Fata$$:

• What of the Gov. of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, who wants to become president?

  He’s much too fat to climb up on a horse. He eats so much and has gained so much weight so that he broke his own leg just by standing on it. True story.

  But his magic talent is that he’s run Illinois—the worst governed state in American history—deeply into the ground.

  And still he wants more. He’s a glutton, stuffing himself, seeking power and more power.

We had forgotten about the broken leg.

In the meantime, Kass describes a particularly interesting political season in the coming year as everyone positions themselves for the midterms.
