David Brooks got a whiff of it and declared that the machine is dead in Chicago even though the convictions demonstrate otherwise. The same thing happened to Bush who declared Chicago to be a "well-run city" under Daley.<br><br>On a more serious note, did you consider that Bush is just trying to keep Daley from becoming an active enemy of his? Ever since the 1960 presidential election, pols have been wary of getting on the bad side of Chicago's Mayor. It seems ludicrous today, but pols have long memories.David P. Grafnoreply@blogger.com
