Howsabout Justice Rove?

I can envision the announcement by President Bush now: "Meet your new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Karl Rove. Let the healing begin."

Later in the week, Scott McLelland would explain that (1) President Bush had actually meant "Associate Justice," (2) the White House understood Chief Justice Rehnquist to be "in fine fettle," and (3) he would not be answering any questions about the Senate confirmation process until the foregone conclusion had actually occurred.
