another opportunity for a recess appointment?

chalabi lacks votes needed to win spot in iraqi assembly - baghdad, dec. 26 -- unexpectedly low support from overseas voters has left ahmed chalabi -- the returned iraqi exile once backed by the united states to lead iraq -- facing a shutout from power in this month's vote for the country's first full-term parliament since the 2003 invasion.


it’s not like his awol-ness would be overly pre-occupied with the fact that the iraqi constitution doesn’t actually grant him the power to appoint chalabi to the iraqi parliament. surely it’s within his awol-ness’s inherent constitutional authority.

on the otherhand, it's nice to see that the iraqi electorate is uninterested in frauds like chalabi. maybe we could borrow a page from their book?
