DES MOINES, Iowa Burger King named Halliburton Treasurer Cedric Burgher as its chief financial officer today.

The 44-year-old had been appointed treasurer at Halliburton only last June. He fills a position last held by Burger King President John Chidsey.

Before being named its treasurer, Burgher was vice president of investor relations at the Houston energy-services firm. He came to Halliburton in 2001 from Enron.

Miami-based Burger King is owned by Texas Pacific Group, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners.

1. Reason enough right there

to never grace Burger King with your presence.

[daleo]

2. If he worked at Enron, he will be used to whoppers

Just the man for Burger King.

3. I don't eat that garbage food, anyway..

.. but if I"m every inclined to punish myself, I'll go to another fast food joint.

4. Cedric Burgher...

the CEO of Burgher King?...HAHAHAHAHA Burgher King where Burgher is King...and now he CAN have it his way...."Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce , "special" accounting won't upset us....We can make a fortune by raping Burger King"

5. Start placing your bets, everyone. How long before the BK scandal?

Certainly within 5 years, there will be a major financial scandal involving BK. Corporate governance has become feudal, with senior executives granted 'titles' on the basis of genealogy, ideology or nepotism rather than experience or achievement.

6. Another Whopper Flopper...

[drscm]

7. From one manufacturing job to another "manufacturing" job. eom

[LeftCoast]

8. Sheesh, is every Enron employee tainted?

Is there some sort of "aproved list" somewhere we should check before hiring any of them?

/sarcasm

[Cocoa]

10. not just any employee

[LeftCoast]

11. Was he indicted or even a suspect in criminal activity?

[pinniped]

9. Murder King.

n/t

[n2mark]

13. Don't eat there

and don't care to eat there. Not healthy for me.

[T Bone]

14. Never eat there again. Go for the Hot Dog and drink for $1.50 at Costco

It's a big juicy Sinai Kosher Dog and you get a refill on the drink. You can load that dog up with relish and onions too from those nifty dispensers Costco has.

[Catfight]

12. The new BK commercial are atrocious, I give them 3 months and chapter 11.

[Zech Marquis]

15. oh well

[President Jesus]

[gratuitous]

17. Whoppers now cost $11.50

And you don't get them at the drive-up window, they deliver them on Halliburton trucks. In three to four weeks. Please pay in advance. And don't forget to tip the delivery driver.

[Eye and Monkey]

20. new White House plan for "Fast-Food Savings Accounts" (tax deductible)

Well, tax deductible if you earn over 175k per annum.

[Racenut20]

18. Oh Good! he already has experience in manufacturing.

[davsand]

19. So does BK have the food contract for troops in Iraq now?

Let's see, we expose them to DU, we send them in with no decent body armor, and our humvees have no steel plates. The last thing left is to feed them a steady diet of shitty food full of fat so we can kill them off that way too. Gotta save costs on vets using those VA benefits, don't ya know...

Oh, and BTW, everybody needs one of those yellow ribbon car magnets and a flag on the antenna too.
