“Now (banned punctuation)” The DH and Tribune are kind of the good cop/bad cop of the Republican Party. I can’t imagine the Chicago Tribune accepting a black House Speaker. Not just because of Kass and McQueary’s views on race, but also because any member of the Black Caucus will be viewed with distrust because of their current loyalty to Madigan. I don’t see the DH defending or celebrating the election of a black Speaker. Neither editorial board will be satisfied with a Speaker who keeps “Madigan’s rules” or “Madigan’s map” in place either. Like the French Revolution, once the beheadings begin it really is not clear where they end.
