ROTFLOL. In the you can’t make this sh*t up category, Pink Visual owner Allison Vivas received a congratulatory fax from Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF). What was unusual about this was that Pink Visual’s business — honored for stimulating the economy — is a porno DVD superstore. Think Progress obtained a copy of the knee-slapping missive.
Newt would like to arrange a private dinner with you at the historic Capitol Hill Club on the evening of October 7, 2009 in Washington. You’ll dine privately with Newt at this exclusive venue and he’ll take the occasion to present you with your well deserved award and have your photo taken together.
This tremendous honor is a testament to your success in building your business and recognition of the risks you take to create jobs and stimulate the economy. As an award winner, you’ll be on the ground floor as Newt and his Council begin the work to turn this country around. … Newt is looking forward to hearing your ideas on getting the economy moving again and getting your feedback on his plans over dinner.
Heh heh heh. The crown prince of adultery will certainly be listening carefully. Oh wait — maybe not — when ASWF was alerted of the line of business Pink Visuals was in it retracted the award saying it inadvertently sent it to Vivas. She (and anyone with a synapse firing) called BS on that front.
Allison was disappointed to receive a call this morning from an ASWF representative stating that the fax had been sent to her ‘inadvertently,’” Boyer told AVN.com. “We’re not entirely clear on how one ‘inadvertently’ sends a fax to the right person at the correct fax number, so our sense is that this is damage control on the part of a group that is having second thoughts about either recognizing the excellent work of a porn company entrepreneur in light of their own conservative political and social orientation, or having second thoughts about their promotional methodology and communication protocols.”

What an opportunity!!Do you think if Pink Visual provides The Newt with a good enough stimulus they could turn him around? Just wonderin’.
Newt caught with his pants down…so to speakthat’s the fourth time, for those keeping score
he had the right instinct, 1st timeIt’s free enterprise, that’s what it is. (Yes, I realize it is also exploitative. So were the robber barons of the Gilded Age, kindred spirits to Newt).
I wouldn’t go selling futures just yet, though, because, according to The Economist, production, inventory and market share are falling.

A stimulus package, that’s what we need. It’s no more obscene than anything Wall Street has done in recent years.
The medium is the message.
I think……that Newtie is wife shopping again.
You always give me what I need, Pam.This is no exception, angel girl. OMG.. I have to call Candace! A little-known fact is that when I lived in Marietta, GA, Newt was my Rep. It was lonely.
I hope you are well, and I can’t describe the smile you gave me with this when I got it on my cell phone TXT because I DO follow you, you know, to the ends of the earth. Thanks so much, especially now.
is that #4 or #5?I lost track. I will say that Newt certainly practices marriage.
But wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?
LolStimulating the economy. Hehe.
I’ve been offerred this kind of thing from Newt before…My reply has always been “I don’t think Newt is really interested in me and my business, I’m a gay male democrat.”
Now I’m just going to tell them I manufacture dildos.
Adultery is okaybut porn? That’s bad, mmmkay!
Is this a fundraising scam?Is this award like those letters you get saying that you’ve been chosen to be in Who’s Who in Business or whatever and then they ask you to pay money to get a copy of the book?
Do they give this award to 500 businesses and then hit them up for cash?
Somebody needs to look at this a little more closely.
I bet this is a phony award that is designed to cheat people out of their money.
Are those who receive this award published in some kind of official book that they have to pay money to get?
Where is Jon Stewart when you need him!!I am having Daily Show withdrawals. Not that MSNBC haven’t brung it in the past few weeks, but where is the flagship of nonchalance, the court jester of controversy, and yes dare i say it the crown prince of comedy central, to really push the reset button on these conservative crusader shenanigans!? And yes there is a certain sexual voyeurism about me that wonders what in fact is he wearing under that desk. briefs or boxers? Boxer-briefs maybe? Maybe I should ask a corespondent. *sniff; its just not the same!!
As long as it’s not eye patch undies…

He certainly practices marriage.But when will he get it right?
OMG! Is ‘stimulating the economy’ the new catch phrase?
“Newt had me bent over and was diligently stimulating my economy”???
For some reason, I still feel like I’m get’in screwed.
Get outta my mind FritzThis is exactly what I thought. Scams don’t only arise from the desk of Mr. Yoruba Igbo of Nigeria.
It seems kind of obviousThey probably faxed hundreds of businesses and then hit them up for a donation or charge them a fee for something.
“Oh, you won the award. But, if you want the trophy that comes with it, you’ll have to pay us $250.”
I bet you go to the “private” dinner and 200 other people are there. Newt comes in and you stand in line for the photo. Then, they hand you the brochure that says you have to pay to get the photo and the trophy.
They could make $50,000 for 30 minutes of Newt’s time.
And how much does being “on the ground floor” cost?
Newt as poster boy for Family ValuesIs like Swartzanegger touting non violence in films, or Alan Keyes selling mental health.
Repigs use Newt as your porn fighting family man…PLEASE!
A regular Zsa Zsa Gabor, that’s ol’ NewtNeeds a wash-and-wear tux for his weddings.
Would you like abeer chaser with your brain bleach?

shouldn’t we … rephrase that?Newt provided a financial incentive to an industry that was enduring hard times, and the stimulus fulfilled the short-term window of opportunity.
Film at 11.
They’re always coming and going and going and coming — and always too soon.

Do you want your “Stimulus Package” giftwrapped?This is worth all kinds of lampooning!
Since it’s pornA plain, brown paper bag will do just fine.
