"Quinn ‘disappointed’ in Michael Madigan for attending John Boehner fund-raiser "

“Frankly I’m disappointed,” Quinn said. “I don’t think going to see John Boehner at some gathering at a house in Lemont, supporting ... the ‘John Boehner’ fund, sends the right message.”

Madigan’s surprise appearance at the fund-raiser for the Ohio Republican is raising ire from both Democrats and Republicans.

Boehner had come to town the night before to raise money for a legal challenge to the map Madigan, Speaker of the state House of Representatives, helped draw eviscerating Republican congressional districts in Illinois.

Illinois Republicans donated considerable money to chat with Boehner at his fund-raiser at the home of CME Chairman Terry Duffy in Lemont. Some said they were shocked to see Madigan there as a non-paying guest of the head of the company that owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade."

I can't imagine ANY Illinois Democratic Party leader attending a Republican fund-raiser when LBJ, Carter, or Clinton were President, I hope Debbie Wasserman Schultz burned Madigan's phone with her justified anger!
