It was within just days that on CNN we had heart-warming video-clips of Bill Clinton helping soldiers pass relief packages. Not even a monumental disaster of this proportion can stop the political PR machine (and not just US but politicians in general) from getting some prime face-time. I have no doubt that commercial interests will be more low-key but no less active.

Bill Clinton has been doing some terrific charity work for years now, most of it outside of camera range. If you think he is exploiting this for some sort of personal gain I think you are mistaken.
