Career move?

While reading about AIG canceling the "conference" they had planned for next week that included $400 a night stays at a Ritz-Carlton, I started thinking: which job would you rather have right now- their spokesperson or their PR consultant? On the one hand, you've got to spin a lot of atrocious behavior, but on the other, you've got to deal with what appears to be a company run by idiots. Who the hell would think that running an ad campaign, essentially funded by taxpayers, to justify a $440,000 spa vacation that occurred days after the government agreed to give them $85 billion could possibly be successful? I guess the same people who got the company into this mess.
