George Bush today, responding to a question about likely changes to his Cabinet:

THE PRESIDENT: I understand this is -- you know, this is a matter of high speculation here in Washington. It's the game of musical chairs, I guess you'd say, that people love to follow.

musical chairs
pl.n. (used with a sing. verb)
A game in which players walk to music around a group of chairs containing one chair fewer than the number of players and rush to sit down when the music stops. The player left standing in each round is eliminated.

Informal. A rearrangement, as of the elements of a problem, having little practical influence or significance.
