The Olympic Bid

September 23rd: The crescendo continues. At 1 pm today Chicago2016 announced that 26 jocks would accompany Chicago's official delegation to Copenhagen for the final pitch. Five hours later the bid sponsors revealed that Oprah Winfrey would be part of the entourage (presumably she'll pay her own way). What if Blago and Betty Loren Maltese were added to the team? Who could top that? Of course, it might not be possible to get court approval in time.
