New Firm To Specialize in Scandal Management for Targeted GOPers

From Roll Call (sub. req.) — who says white-collar defense lawyers should get all the money? Spokespeople gotta eat, too:

With Hurricane Subpoena bearing down on Capitol Hill, veteran GOP spin masters Mark Corallo and Barbara Comstock are hitching their wagons to help Republicans fight the storm and — well, sure — rake in some dough.

Corallo and Comstock are forming the crisis management firm Corallo Comstock, Inc. They aim to open shop on Jan. 1, just before the new Democratic chairmen will start banging their gavels and demanding information from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Just in time for subpoena season,” Corallo told HOH.

Barbara Comstock and Mark Carallo, of course, are seasoned professionals who have issued “no comment”s on behalf of such notable clients as Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), Tom DeLay (R-TX), and Karl Rove. More at ThinkProgress.
