Jesse White: Allegedly The Snuggliest Man In Illinois Politics

When adjectives flow concerning Illinois pols, seldom does snuggly come to mind.  Craven, sure.  Treacherous, double-dealing, foul, base and indicted all come far more easily than snuggly.  Nonetheless,  one very impressed blogger at Gaper’s Block has chosen his words with something less than circumspection in the case of Secretary of State Jesse White, who yesterday announced his bid for re-election.

The Snuggliest Man In Illinois Politics

No big shock, Jesse White is running for reelection. Who doesn’t love this guy? He reminds me of at least five dozen relatives I have. And, yes, before everybody starts leaving comments about all the horrible people he’s raised money from or how long it takes to get your license, I get it. I’m not saying he’s the World’s Greatest Secretary of State. More like the World’s Greatest Grandpa.

Ookay.

White, whose office has been marked by a stretch of reasonably scandal-free governance plus improvements in wait times at DMV offices could not be reached at press time for comment on the suggestion of future plush toy likenesses of the Secretary appearing at tollway oasis gift stores.
