Despite denials from her soon-to-be former employers, the Albright Group, former Clinton EPA head and soon-to-be climate change czar Carol Browner served as a de facto lobbyist for Dubai Ports World, owned by the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, which arranged to buy a company operating six major U.S. ports, including New York and New Jersey. Browner told the Obama transition team that she never served as a lobbyist in her time in Washington, and her employer, the Albright Group, owned by former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, also said that the firm does not lobby.

From Wiki

Downey married Carol Browner, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, on June 21, 2007. This is Mr. Downey's second marriage and Browner's third. In their spare time together they enjoy visiting wetlands and landfills in order to monitor environmental destruction.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Joseph_Downey

What a dedicated pair

Boy, I’ll bet Ms. Browner was fun to date!

“What do you want to do this weekend, honey?”

Can't escape the image of a happy (organic) picnic at the land fill as they while away their Sunday afternoons.
(Who needs ants when you've got rats and pigeons, and you don't need to worry about finding a trash can for the broiled free range chicken bones?)
