Remember when we told you about Newtie awarding Entrepreneur of the Year to a porn exec? Well, he’s at it again, except this time making the owner of one of Dallas’ premiere “gentlemen’s clubs” the Entrepreneur of the Year:
Dawn Rizos, owner of The Lodge, which the Morning News calls “one of the best-known gentlemen’s clubs in Dallas,” was named an “Entrepreneur of the Year” by Gingrich’s conservative group. And then Gingrich rescinded the invitation to a private D.C. dinner — along with Rizos’ $5,000 donation to Gingrich’s group, American Solutions for Winning the Future.
Isn’t this fun? Not only do you get to take a look at Newt Gingrich fundraising in a particularly sleazy way (how many Entrepreneurs of the Year can there be?) but Mr. “Family Values” keeps picking business representatives that are not going to make his wingnut base happy. Gingrich and Al Sharpton are touring the US to talk about education (Do.Not.Ask), but if you got the pictures, holla at us!
