Dallas Strip Clubs: Gingrich Honors the Adult Entertainment Industry (Again)
Earlier this month, a studio executive at a California-based pornography company won an Entrepreneur of the Year award from a conservative 527 group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, founded by the former House speaker. It was a mistake, of course, and the invite to join Gingrich for dinner was rescinded.
But did the American Solutions learn its lesson? Not at all.
Today, the Dallas Observer reported that the group sent another Entrepreneur of the Year award to another figure in the world of adult entertainment, this one a strip club owner in Texas named Dawn Rizos.
Media Matters has been following the saga closely, and received a copy of the invitation sent to the California porn executive. Scribbled in the margin is a hand-written note: “NEWT IS LOOKING FORWARD TO FINALLY MEETING YOU FACE TO FACE — AND GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON CAP AND TRADE AND OBAMA’S TAX POLICY.”
