Which Kind of Corruption Do You Prefer?

Bill Hobbs highlights a Tennessean editorial in support of an independent ethics commission.

I'm all for an independent commission of some kind, whether it's named an "Ethics Commission" or a "Disclosure Commission" like Washington's. However, the internal debate in which I could use some outside counsel is whether this commission should be appointed -- and thus rife with favoritism and majority-party imbalance; or elected -- and thus turning its members into campaign-cash-hungry politicians.

Any thoughts?
