Best, but probably not the last, word on Rauner

Comes now a commenter in Capitol Fax blog post with the best image I've seen so far for Governor Rauner, reacting to a thoroughly slanted writeup of one of his public appearances in Normal.

"Ignoring sound advice," http://capitolfax.com/2015/03/17/ignoring-sound-advice/. As follows:

He didn’t talk like this when he was a candidate, did he? So he knows what he is saying now won’t win him any friends or elections. Why is he doing this?

Every day this governor continues behaving like a parakeet fighting it’s reflection in a mirror, is another day we all go without any real governing. Our problems are not only being actively mishandled, we’ve witnessed both political parties mishandling them.

Rauner is making the fiscal situation worse by being so unbelievably dense!

I would edit out the apostrophe, but otherwise it's pitch perfect.

Context: During Rauner's "turnaround tour" -- at what the hard-right Illinois Policy Institute billed as a "town meeting" at which the governer outlined "some of Rauner’s ideas he shared with other groups, including right-to-work zones, lifting restrictions on prevailing wage and project labor agreements and other issues.in the Normal City Council chambers."

Protesters interrupted him with an Occupy-style "mic check,"
