Stimulating the Economy — oops!

Newt Gingrich, whose 1995 “Contract with the American Family” promised to fight pornography, has named Allison Vivas of Pink Visual a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year.

The only problem? Pink Visual is a porn DVD superstore. How’s that for “stimulating” the economy?

When Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) was informed of the business nature of the recipient, they called back and said that they had named her “inadvertently”.

oops.
