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….
