Rauner television ad against Pritzker!

Has anyone seen the ad? I saw it last night for the first time. Here is a bit about the ad, from the Tribune:

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday unveiled a TV attack ad featuring audio of Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker talking to disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich about a possible job, prompting Pritzker to go up with a commercial hitting Rauner for deaths and illnesses at a downstate veterans home.

The new advertising onslaught is unfolding well before either candidate has faced voters in the March 20 primary, foretelling how negative and expensive a potential general election contest between two wealthy men willing to use their money to promote their political careers.

Pritzger did nothing wrong. The conversation was one picked up by the Feds when Blago was being wiretapped. The commercial features some rather creative editing. Rauner is a dirty S.O.B.
