On Sep 6, Bush appointed Ellen Sauerbrey to be an Assistant Secretary of State (Population, Refugees, and Migration). According to this New York Times Editorial, the role is to
"coordinate the delivery of life-sustaining emergency aid to refugees of foreign wars, persecution and natural disasters." She "has no experience responding to major crises calling for international relief." She was a "former Maryland state legislator and twice-defeated Republican candidate for governor who was state chairman of Mr. Bush's 2000 campaign."
Fortunately the Senate Foreign Relations Committee gets to approve her. You'd think after Michael Brown Bush might know better. Then again, maybe Brown did resign on his own and Bush continues to think he did "a heck of a job".
