From yesterday's Washington Post:

Bush Picks Supporter as Economic Council Chief
President Bush yesterday selected Indiana businessman Allan B. Hubbard to head his National Economic Council, bringing an old friend and fundraiser to the White House to help guide the administration's economic agenda.

Think about the formula that could be used for every one of the president's appointees:

Bush Picks Supporter as [position]
President Bush yesterday selected [state] businessman [name] to head his [agency/office/division], bringing an old friend and fundraiser to the White House to help guide the administration's [whatever] agenda.

Works every time!
