What do they call it when you are physically unable to learn?

President Bush continues to do a heckuva job installing unqualified cronies in key government posts.

Even though the Michael Brown debacle at the Federal Emergency Management Agency is still good for a few laughs on the Leno and Letterman shows, Bush may inject new life into late night TV monologues with his recent appointment of Ellen Sauerbrey to head the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration.

There's actually something even worse about Sauerbrey's back-door recess appoint to this post than her zero experience. She is revered by the religious right for her strident opposition to sex education, safe sex initiatives, emergency contraception, abortion and the entire range of women's reproductive health services that are absolutely vital to refugee populations.

The New York Times was a bit more blunt: "Ms. Sauerbrey has zero experience in emergency management and refugee resettlement."

Zero experience. That's an astounding benchmark, impossible to beat. There is no less-than-zero level of experience. What kinds of disasters and refugee situations does the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration address? Rwanda. Darfur, Sudan. Kosovo. Iraq. Gaza Strip. Southeast Asia tsunami. Pakistan earthquake. It's the last place anyone wants to see a director with zero experience.

Previous directors of the bureau have served as U.N. Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, director of foreign disaster assistance at the Agency for International Development and senior deputy assistant secretary of State for Refugee Programs. One of them was a Republican appointed by President Clinton.
