Raw Story: Firm pushing Santorum book promoted bogus, lurid sex tales
by John Byrne
The public relations firm hired to promote Sen. Rick Santorum's (R-PA) new family values book represented an array of clients with more prurient backgrounds, some of whom produced spurious and graphic sex and drug charges in their work, RAW STORY has learned.
Sen. Santorum’s book, "It Takes a Family," is subtitled "Conservatism and the Public Good."
Craig Shirley, whose firm Shirley & Bannister has successfully hawked the book, represented Paula Jones, the woman who leveled sex charges against Clinton and posed for Penthouse, and Gary Aldrich, whose tales of condom-draped Clinton Christmas trees created something of a stir in Washington in 1996.

"From our perspective, we wanted to find a firm that would be professional and essentially get the job done promoting book," he told RAW STORY. "We did not look at every single person he has promoted the past, and as working for the publisher, we did not think that was particularly relevant."
