OUR EX PR GUY GO's FOR THE GOLD



Jeff Ruffolo competed to do Olympic PR for China and won. "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Communists" could be the title of Jeff Ruffolo's autobiography. Perhaps the book could explain how it was that a Republican Mormon from Orange County became a public relations advisor on (some might say apologist for) the Chinese Communist Party's handling of the Beijing Olympics.

Today Ruffolo has only the highest praise for the Chinese, but then again, he is paid to say nice things. Ruffolo is the only foreigner handling media at the headquarters of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games and doing a great job.
