Club owner makes dog pound in Gingrich’s name
Associated Press
DALLAS — Snubbed by Newt Gingrich’s conservative group, the owner of a Dallas topless club has decided to create a shelter for pit bulls in his honor.
Dawn Rizos was set to receive an “Entrepreneur of the Year” award on Oct. 7 from the group American Solutions for Winning the Future, led by the former U.S. House speaker.
But the group reneged, saying it had mistaken her business for another. Rizos, who owns the topless club The Lodge, was refunded the $5,000 fee required to receive the award.
So she donated the money to Animal Guardians of America’s sanctuary for rescued dogs in Celina, about 35 miles north of Dallas.
“Newt’s Nook — A Home for Pit Bulls” is under construction. Rizos says they’ll invite Gingrich to the formal dedication in early November.
I'm always glad to see when a strip club gets the best in the PR world. Its just like the time the Jaguards Gold manager saved that lady and her kid on the train tracks during the age of Sheriff Short Sleeve's crackdown. In this case the Dallas strip club played it just right. But I would have taken it a step further. Aside from just inviting Newt to the opening of the Pit Bull Center, I would have taken a couple strippers to his office in D.C. and offered to give him a thank you lap dance for helping to fund the center. But they missed their chance. It's a Newt point now.
