Gaddafi in your backyard; Blagojevich in your boardroom! Who manages your PR Mr. Trump? Richard Heene???

The verdict comes in today if Rod Blagojevich can star in the Trump show "Celebrity Apprentice". So what happens if he gets "hired"? Does he not go to prison??? An absolute PR mess, I think!

His motto: Piece be with you!

"Improving US global relations" is not just lip service. Today the US may give China: The hummer!
