Which Fox to Watch Henhouse?

So many choices:

• With little more than a month until the International Olympics Committee decides whether Chicago will get the 2016 Summer Games, aldermen and the Daley administration are unveiling new ordinances that they say would provide greater oversight should the city's bid prevail.

  Ald. Manuel Flores (1st) held a news conference to pitch a measure that would empower the city's inspector general to monitor the Olympic committee if Chicago hosts the Games. Separately, Mayor Richard Daley's administration introduced a plan to let two aldermen sit on the organizing committee if Chicago wins its 2016 bid.

So Daley's plan is to let two members of the august body known as the City Council, a body that has had 26 members go to prison over the past 30 years, keep an eye on what is sure to be a $15 billion boondoggle. Burke being one of the two is laughable.

Flores' plan is to let the Inspector General keep an eye on things. Unfortunately, the IG just resigned to run for the Senate and the replacement will be appointed by Shortshanks. We don't even know if the IG has to be confirmed by the City Council, but it would be the height of irony if it were so.

So many bad choices, so little time.
