With the news coming out of the Frerichs for Illinois Treasurer campaign this morning about his botched victory lap in Gifford (where he was grateful for everyone else for helping clean up and rebuild his hometown, but he was too busy or something to actually help and didn't want to get his suit dirty), we wanted to get the reactions from folks around Illinois.
Here's five interested parties reacting to Mike Frerichs' latest gaffe:
1. The staff at Mike Frerichs for Illinois HQ had to take a deep breath as they knew they were about to endure even more uncomfortable moments when the candidate comes back and realizes he talked about rolling up sleeves and getting dirty while he was wearing a suit.
2. The guys and gals here at the Illinois Truth Team Headquarters were thrilled with this latest verbal gem from Candidate Mike Frerichs.
3. Mike Frerichs' Chinaman John Cullerton gave the Frerichs team the cold truth.
4. Governor Pat Quinn's team were tied up and couldn't react.
5. Statehouse reporters and Capitol Fax comment-ers couldn't believe what they heard. Mike Frerichs actually wanted to highlight how he showed up in a suit to 'rebuild' his hometown?!?
