I'm four days late with this, but how funny is the parallel between Gareth Keenan and Mike Brown?

A running gag on The Office had Gareth introduce himself as "Assistant Regional Manager," with David Brent consistently adding, "Assistant to the Regional Manager."

From the AP:

"Bush administration documents have credited [Michael] Brown with overseeing emergency services while working for the city of Edmond, Okla., in the mid-1970s. Brown's official biography on the FEMA Web site says he served as 'an assistant city manager.' But a former mayor of Edmond, Randel Shadid, told AP on Friday that Brown had been an assistant to the city manager--never assistant city manager."
