Nobody who is any good applies... Hopefully whoever gets hired talks a good game but is not able to execute...

No, no!! Me, me, me - I am perfect as a recognized shill and astroturfer supreme. I have all the job qualifications and experience. You may, however, beat me on one necessary criterion: the sleaze factor*.

Top that dino.

* There is a nasty rumor your were trained in the legal profession. If so I lose, possibly, on this one itty bitty missing resume bullet**.

** But on the bright side, I could just shoot you to eliminate the competition.

I hear Darl McBride is out of work. Possibly even Rob Enderle.

Yeah, but Darl suffers from cognitive dissonance, and Rob Enderle's reputation is already too well-established on the 'net. They need someone who's actually believable.
