Mel Gibson's publicist.

This kind of reminds me of a conversation I had here recently with the head of PR for a big pharmaceutical firm. I asked her, just as a hypothetical, how she'd handle communications for British Petroleum right about now. She positively blanched. Even thinking about it obviously made her ill. Anyway, Mel's people are presumably having another very, very long day.

I guess the best spin you could put on it is, he's severely mentally ill, and he desperately needs medical help. It may even be true.

Naw, the worst job in the world is pretty much well documented here.

Right! I totally, one-hundred percent, unreservedly concede the point. That is, indeed, the worst job in the world.

Actually sometimes the more repellent the client, the more remunerative the return. Ask Jamie Gorelick, formerly vice chairman of Fannie Mae at time when it had huge accounting scandal, recipient of VIP loan from Countrywide, now earning handsome $$$ representing BP for her law firm.

In fairness, I think we should reserve "worst job in the world" for something like this: the sewer divers of Mexico City (warning: a few predictable, R-rated words, plus an unappetizing photo)

You think that's tough. This poor guy had to blog about his experience of living on a beautiful island.

Actually, he ends up complaining about it a bit in this article on Telegraph UK. Too funny.
