Every time Mayor Daley has a press conference, we see why he seldom holds press conferences anymore. He is beginning to sound like Prof. Corey, the strange-talking TV comedian. Except Daley appears to be serious.
Take this week’s performance, which was done in living color, mostly blotchy, angry red.
The main subjects were the Chicago Bears and Congressman Abner Mikva.
The Bears, of course, hope a stadium will be built for them in Arlington Heights.
This is a more serious problem than merely where a bunch of mercenary athletes will maul each other for the pleasure of a TV audience.
