Brownie and Brownier

Know your Bush cronies:

Ellen Sauerbrey, Our New Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration

Salon (subscription or day pass required) fills us in:

She [Sauerbrey] is already being compared to Michael Brown, the hapless former head of FEMA who famously worried about his on-camera wardrobe while New Orleans drowned. "If she is confirmed by the Senate, think of her as the Michael D. Brown of the refugee world," opined the Washington Post.

What I like most about her, though, is her name. Sauerbrey is almost certainly a variant of 'sauerbrei,' or 'sour mash' in German. Bitch looks like she could use a good stiff shot of bourbon if you ask me.
