--besides Clinton, I mean.  There is no individual, corporation or foreign government whose image is in need of refurbishing which too slimy for this guy.

His defense is that he doesn't do the actual work on the accounts of Burson-Marsteller.  Last I heard, CEOs generally don't do details regardless of the nature of their business.

The bottom line is that he is working for the one percenters, that is to say the people who visit decisions about how the world is run on the rest of us, who are all in the disposable human garbage category.  Even those of us who are profesionals and technocrats don't escape this category--we're just temporarily privileged.

A partial list--

Philip Morris

Entergy Nuclear and its little problem with their cooling towers collapsing on their nuclear power plant in Vermont

Three-Mile Island 1979 accident

Union Carbide and its Bhopal chemical disaster in India 20 years ago

The government of Saudi Arabia three days after 9/11, embarrassed by the hijackers being mostly Saudi

Former Romanian dictator Nicolai Ceausescu

The military junta that overthrew the government of Argentina in 1976

Their newest marquee public relations client--Blackwater mercenaries

The East Timor massacres of Indonesia

And don't forget that Burson-Marsteller has long bragged about its successful tactics for countering union organizing

And the very latest outrage--the manufacturer of the toys with the date rape drug in it.

The American shadow
Study Burson-Marstellar and you see the evil side of under-regulated capitalism.   Everything is defensible.

Looking at this I get some insight into how the Democrats could so routinely be supporting the Bush administration policies.  They're already so deep in this kind of blood and corruption.  They're used to it - or they know how to ignore it.

I edited your urls because they were distorting the site.   The site can't handle long url strings with no spaces -- all the frames are thrown off.  In the process, I accidentally lost the wording you used for the Indonesia/East Timor link. Sorry!
