Newt Gingrich FAIL — Adults Only Late Night Edition
I laughed so had at this that I almost fell out of my chair:
Newt Gingrich’s 527 group sent a letter to porn exec Allison Vivas Wednesday telling her she’d won their “Entrepreneur of the Year” award and inviting her to an “intimate event” with Gingrich.
“I’m honored, and more than a little surprised, to receive this prestigious award,” Vivas said today in a cheeky press release. “Rest assured, I’ll take the opportunity to inform Mr. Gingrich of some of the major challenges facing the adult entertainment industry in the current market .., from obscenity prosecutions to content piracy, I’ll make sure he walks away from that dinner educated about the realities of the online porn market.”
Apparently this has been in circulation all day, and Gingrich’s spokesman says it was a mistake. MISTAKE? Do make sure to go see the actual award letter. It is almost a pitch for a film. The second page of that letter shows the “props” involved.
Bet it wasn’t a mistake, though….
State police have charged former GOP lawmaker Steve Nunn with violating a protective order after his former girlfriend was found shot to death in downtown Lexington. he hasn’t been charged with murder, but this girl is like, half his age or more. There’s a great photo of the two of them and he’s drunk out of his mind and looks like he’s dancing with his granddaughter. Man, you gotta love these right wing hypocrite family values losers. They’re just whores. Poor girl. She should have known better.
Wasnt Newt involved in some shady stuff with GOPAC back in the 90s

Yes. It was after he gave his wife divorce papers while she was receiving treatment for cancer and he was screwing some other woman, I believe what turned out to be his second or third wife (but who’s counting?)
anon,
That was probably a murder-attempted suicide attempt.
The awards given out by GOP groups is big fundraising scam. There was a really great story in Buffalo when I was still living there about a physician who received one of these so-called awards and all the nickel-and-diming that came along with the scam. And for extra $$$ he could get his picture with the president! I’ll bet this is what happened here, only it came back to bite Newt in the rear.
Yes, Newt was involved in all kinds of stuff. He was forced to resign as Speaker because of some shady book deal.
What’s funny is listening to republicans talk about moral values and then listening to them sing the praises of Newt. I guess when all you have left is a few wackos, Newt looks good.
Newt is always involved in some shady stuff — but you are not to notice that Newt’s project since he left office is to Get Paid. Which is why they all love him — he’s figured out the real Holy Grail here. Which is how to play at politics for Fun and Profit.
