Newt Gingrich Inadvertently Gives "Entrepreneur of the Year" Award To Porn Executive
This week, Allison Vivas of Pink Visual received a fax from Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) group, informing her that she’s been chosen for a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year award by his Business Defense and Advisory Council. From the letter obtained by ThinkProgress:
...
Pink Visual is a porn DVD superstore — not the type of company you’d expect Gingrich would want stimulating the economy. ThinkProgress contacted Gingrich aide Joe Gaylord, who sent the faxed letter to Vivas, but we didn’t receive a response. An ASWF representative reportedly called Pink Visual this morning saying it had “inadvertently” sent the fax to Vivas and was retracting the honor.
Ayup. Sure it was a mistake. An "accidental" fax addressed to someone at the correct fax number. Could happen to anyone...
Of course, congratulating a porn company for ...ahem...stimulating the economy would seem to contradict Newt's highly touted "Contract with the American Family":
Ironically, on May 17, 1995, Gingrich led a press conference on Capitol Hill announcing the Christian Coalition’s 10-point “Contract with the American Family,” a conservative legislative wish list. One of the items in the contract: restricting pornography. From Gingrich’s comments:
“We are committed to scheduling the hearings, to scheduling the mark-up and to scheduling the bills on the floor,” Gingrich said. “We’re committed to implementing the contract with the family.“

Republicans and lewd things - both seem to have an almost uncanny polar attraction.

I guess we should consider it an improvement that at least it was not a gay porn producer :laugh4:
