Corporate union bashers, triangulating Democrats and the IEA leadership sing praises of SB7, do a “Kumbaya.”

Jonah Edeleman wasn’t invited to the DC party.

Senator Lightford is here. Oh, look! There’s Audrey Soglin. And Elliot Regenstein from the Clinton think tank,  The Center for American Progress. The lovely lady from Chicago’s upper crust, Advance Illinois, Robin Steans couldn’t make it. But Robin sends her love.

Jonah was going to be invited. But you know Jonah. He got all full of himself. He even tried claiming the party was HIS idea. Jeez, that guy.

The party is to celebrate Illinois’ Senate Bill 7. And launch it nationwide.

Darling. You remember Senate Bill 7, don’t you? That’s the bill that we got the unions to fall for. No more striking in Chicago. Gahd! I hate strikes. Remember that time when the teachers and the garbage collectors went out at the same time? I had to take care of my own kids all day and take out my own trash at the same time! Do you know what lunch at the Walnut Room costs for all the kids, their friends and me? For chicken pot pie!*

Anyway, it is just a lovely affair.

I was worried. Only a few days ago Audrey was complaining that all that fuss about Jonah might set back future party planning for decades.

I’m soooo glad she’s feeling better.
