     "Iraqi sovereignty will be established by appointees
      appointing appointees to select appointees to select
      appointees. Add the fact that Bremer was appointed to
      his post by President Bush and Bush to his by the US
      Supreme Court, and you have the glorious new democratic
      tradition of the appointocracy: rule by an appointee's
      appointee's appointees' appointees' appointees' selectees."
