WAY COOL!!! Weyforth Traveling Press Secretary for Jonas Brothers Tour

WeyforthJust when you thought working in the nation's capital was a cool job, it doesn't hold a candle to being the Traveling Press Secretary for The Jonas Brothers. Carolyn Weyforth, previously the rock-star Deputy Communications Director for the Romney campaign and Press Secretary for then Majority Leader Bill Frist, has hung up her political spurs and traded them in for "life on the road."  Working for Outside Eyes, a well-respected corporate communications firm in California, Weyforth implements a press management system similar to the White House traveling press corps.  Seems to be working VERY well -- last time we checked, The Jonas Brothers hit "Tonight" was number one on the iTunes top songs list and interviews with the group seem to be popping up everywhere!  (PF Tipster)
