1. Is Broon a nickname

of which we ignorant Americans are unaware?

2. Occasionaly used - proably from the cartoon strip "The Broons"

See http://www.toonhound.com/broons.htm

"For many northern folks the Broons are as Scottish as Irn Bru, stovvies, and Hogmanay, and you know, that's nae bad thing, hen..."

Said in a stereotypical Scottish accent (and he is Scottish), 'Brown' does comes out rather like 'Broon'.

3. It does seem to be a popular term for him in the Blogosphere

That said, I don't think that the likes of Private Eye and cartoonists have quite got a handle on him just yet.

David Cameron on the other hand is an easy target, just dredge up as many upper class twit jokes as possible and away you go!

4. I loved The Broons when I was a kid

I guess this Broon won't be quite so amusing...
