Hillary Rodham Clinton once ridiculed U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist for presiding over Bill Clinton's Senate impeachment trial wearing a robe which he himself had designed with chevrons of gold braid. "He said he got the idea from the costumes in a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera Iolanthe," she recalled. "How fitting that he should wear a theatrical costume to preside over a political farce."
