Having just entered the professional world and still not fully recovered from having to ditch my sweats for suits, it’s refreshing to see a throwback to the good old elementary school days.
What a great editorial to Mayor Richard Daley.
It was direct, substantive and effective. Moreover, it’s both interesting and entertaining to watch professional journalists resort to schoolyard antics with a stubborn “but he hit me first!” attitude.
As role models, public voices and representatives of the fine city of Chicago, both the Tribune Co. and Daley should take more pride in the image that each displays.
It’s such a disappointment–as a Chicagoan and also as a bona-fide adult–to have to keep up with such a fickle spat.
Please do me (and the rest of Chicago) a favor: Stop treating the readers and the voters like something to be vied over, a mutual friend that you both are trying to swing in your favor.
We’re better than that.
And so are the both of you.
