Newt Gingrich showed his support for the nation's entrepreneurs by recognizing the porn industry:

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.

"You'll dine privately with Newt", the letter goes on to purr.

Ms. Vivas' company, Pink Visual, maker of such fine titles as "Monster Cock Junkies", "Anal Devastation" and "Brazen and Unshaven", was quick to tout the honor to customers on its website:

She further responded in a press release:

"I'm honored, and more than a little surprised, to receive this prestigious award," Vivas said. "It never occurred to me that Newt Gingrich, one of the principal architects of the conservative Contract With America in the 1990s, would be willing to brave criticism from the far right of his party in order to recognize good work done on the part of an adult entertainment professional."

Alas, Media Matters later reported that Newt wasn't quite so brave, and that the award had been rescinded:

American Solutions for Winning the Future spokesman Dan Kotman sent this statement: "We have notified Allison Vivas that the notice she received was sent by mistake. We regret the error."

Bummer. What a wasted opportunity for Ms. Vivas:

"I'll make sure he walks away from that dinner educated about the realities of the online porn market."

Call me a cynic, but something tells me Gingrich may already have some acquaintance with those realities.
