The good news is that Chi Trib’s Wash bureau chief, oddly not identified as such except in the “contact” part of the web site, has his analysis, “Brief Moment of Unity Lost,” etc. about partisanship in Washington (amazing!) on page 15, not page 1. The bad news is it’s not yet on the op-ed page (but getting there: we can only hope).
The good and the bad of it.
