      Im «BuMiWiZuse», wie das ehemalige Bimbo-Ministerium im Berliner Jargon genannt wurde, fühlte sich Dirk Niebel pudelwohl. Von einem Kontinent zum andern pesen, niedlichen schwatten Rangen das Kraushaar tätscheln und Mutti Merkel fern in Dschörmeni eine alte Frau sein lassen, das war ’ne Wucht.
      Dirk Niebel felt as happy as a clam at the “BuMiWiZuse” , as the former Nigger Ministry was called in Berlin jargon. Jetting from continent to continent, patting the nappy hair of cute black brats, and leaving Mother Merkel to be an old woman back in Germany: that was a blast.
