Some of my colleagues are outraged.

I understand.

But I find it just creepy.

And who are the parents who let their kids do this video?

First Illinois Governor Pat Quinn launched his campaign against teacher pensions with a child’s toy: Squeezy the pension cobra.

That was more pathetic than anything else.

Now he is running this video called Kids Don’t Have Lobbyists.

Quinn calls it “hilarious.”

On the one hand this entire My Illinois thing has the smell of Sarah Palin’s we are the real Americans campaign from 2008.

On the other hand using kids as political shills is, like I said, just creepy.

If you agree, you might want to let the Governor know.
