Strip club owner’s dog shelter named for Gingrich opens.
Strip club owner’s dog shelter named for Gingrich opens.
Last September, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich retracted an “Entrepreneur of the Year” award he accidentally presented to Dallas strip club owner Dawn Rizos and refunded the $5,000 donation Rizos made to Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future. At the time, Rizos said she would take the money to build a shelter for unwanted pit bulls. The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday that “Newt’s Nook: A Home For Pit Bulls” is now open:
A North Texas shelter for pit bulls has opened this week, thanks to a Dallas topless club owner’s contribution after Newt Gingrich’s conservative group snubbed her donation. [...]
Rizos says she decided to “make something positive out of his bad manners.”
She redirected the money to Animal Guardians of America’s sanctuary for rescued dogs in Celina, about 35 miles north of Dallas.
Gingrich didn’t attend the opening of “Newt’s Nook — A Home for Pit Bulls.”

Perhaps Newt could stop by and have his very own personal Neuticles installed;

November 26th, 2009 at 3:09 pmAle@1, You’re a real dirt-bag you know. On Thanksgiving you will slam someone for doing something charitable.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:10 pmUnlike Gingrich, Rizos obviously has both smarts & wit.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:11 pmWhy would anyone, in a business having to do anything remotely with sex, donate to a conservative cause is beyond me.
Isn’t Rizos aware the American Taliban would shut down her business if they could?
At least the dogs are benefiting from Gingrich’s puritanical pettiness…
November 26th, 2009 at 3:13 pmIt should be a Home for Pugs.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:13 pmThis is a Hoot!
November 26th, 2009 at 3:14 pmsome good can come from making fun of fools…..
now that’s humor.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:17 pm“Newt’s Nook — A Home for Pit Bulls.”
November 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pmA bit of irony; it was worth the 5 thousand.
Well, I guess Newt should be grateful his name is connected to something to do with charity.

How appropos.

Like Ralph said earlier, it’s hard to tell with the likes of you.

November 26th, 2009 at 3:24 pmWon’t it be nice when all the Republicans are out of politics.
What an ugly period in history, all courtesy of the Republicans.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:25 pmApe@15, TIME magazine dubbed the 00s as the ‘Decade from Hell’. They are absolutly correct.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:28 pmNewt is a dog himself.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:31 pmTime calls the first decade of 2000 the “Decade From Hell”
Bush made sure of it:

November 26th, 2009 at 3:32 pmFred@19, No problem. But make it a Budweiser.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:34 pmP.D. you got it. I’ll toast with Vodka.
Cheers to all and happy Thanksgiving.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:36 pm“Strip club owner’s dog shelter named for Gingrich opens.”
Oh, how wonderful. King Solomon Newt is named after a dog shelter. And well fiting: Newt’s Nook — A Home for Pit Bulls like Newt and a place to get neuter.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:48 pmGregor Samsa says:Isn’t “Rizos aware the American Taliban would shut down her business if they could?”
There’s principles, and then there’s business principles.
It’s been calculated that the most religious most conservative most Republican states are the biggest purchasers of online porn.
It’s also generally understood that Republicans pay for their sexual proclivities as much as anyone, if not more so–whether it’s titillation or full-on sex.
Rizos initial response to Gingrich was a smart business move–a likely inside-track to score a reliable and well-paying stable of customers. A 5G investment could have been yielded 100G in sales.
As with abortion, if the Republicans really wanted to ban such sinful activities, they’d have done so when they had the power and opportunity–several opportunities in fact.
If they made strip joints illegal, how do you think their Bumf#ck County, southern and Midwestern constituents would react? Not to mention the big business high-rollers?
November 26th, 2009 at 3:51 pmHow humiliating for the pit bulls.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:52 pmThere is a certain bit of synchronicity here. Pit bulls are dogs. They learn what is taught to them. They don’t think about it, they don’t evaluate it. They should not be held responsible because someone who can think teaches them bad things.
Tea baggers, on the other hand, supposedly have a brain and are capable of thinking on levels beyond dogs.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:58 pmLet’s hope Newt gets a tour, and one of the voracious little mutts jumps up and deathjawlocks on his testicles.

By showing up in droves to throw down bucks to see naked cuties?

November 26th, 2009 at 4:33 pmHappy Thanksgiving everyone and remember that it is never too late to give your life to God
Happy Thanksgiving and remember, it’s never too late to free yourself from the belief in myths.
November 26th, 2009 at 4:52 pmDaryll, STFU. What you’re doing is known as “spamming” and it’s inconsiderate.
It’s especially rude to pretend to be offering a Thanksgiving prayer as a means to deliver yet another tedious recitation of your discredited political ethos.
But have a nice Thanksgiving anyway… as nice as you are capable.

November 26th, 2009 at 5:03 pmFunny how progressives win Nobel prizes while conservatives get dog pounds and sewer treatment plants named after them.
This should really tell you something repugs. HINT: Your not very well liked.

New@36, Yeah, Carter, Gore AND Obama. ALL Democrats. Even Bill Clinton is well respected for his Charitys. Bush Sr. and Jr. have the scorn of the World.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:13 pmWhat an insult to pit bulls, naming a shelter for them after Newtie…..I can’t stop laughing actually!!!
November 26th, 2009 at 5:38 pmworship and adore. Such wonderful ideas. Both include the ideas of “I’m sorry, I can’t think’
Daryl, if you have to go brain dead, spare everyone else your lack of humanity.
November 26th, 2009 at 6:13 pmWelcome to Newticles®
Thank you for your interest in patented Newticles and the revolutionary testicular implant procedure for Republicans. Inside you will find the latest information and updates.
Over 250,000 embarrassed Republicans nationwide have selected Newticles as a safe, practical and inexpensive option after being newtered.
Newticles allow a Republican to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with newtering.
With Newticles®- It’s like nothing ever changed…
November 26th, 2009 at 6:24 pm@ 41. TRoS…
Excellent, TRoS, truly excellent. I thought if he stopped by for the procedure, a set of Chihuahua or PeekaPoo Neuticles would work, but to have actual Newticles for ol’ Newtie? That’s genius!
November 26th, 2009 at 7:02 pmAnd they’re not just for Newtie, Virtual… any Republican/conservative feeling, how shall I say, ‘less than a man’ after the eight years that were the non-stop train wreck called the Bush Administration can now have hope.
Oh yes… deep down inside, they’ll STILL feel the burning shame of having backed perhaps THE WORST POTUS™ in US history… but publicly… they’ll be able to put on a braver face… until some woman starts pointing and laughing…
Why even poor OSTL here would probably feel better afterwards…
November 26th, 2009 at 7:13 pmStrip club owner Dawn Rizos has more class in her little finger than Bush, Cheney, and Gingrich have in their entire bodies. God bless Dawn Rizos for thinking about abused animals.
November 26th, 2009 at 7:17 pmGDS?
How original of you. Did you think that one up all by yourself, or did you consult Charkles Krauthammer for advice?
Please, does every criticism of the whackjobs on the right have to be classified as some kind of “derangement syndrome”? Besides, you’re not even using it correctly, if such a stupid construct could ever be used correctly, as it was based on a psychotic misunderstanding of Liberalism.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:53 pmWhy would anyone, in a business having to do anything remotely with sex, donate to a conservative cause is beyond me.
Welcome to the hypocritical mindset of Texas.
Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!
November 26th, 2009 at 10:28 pmEspecially since newt is the one deranged, as Wayne pointed out…..
November 27th, 2009 at 2:34 amI am reminded of my very favorite Molly Ivins quote
“If you were to take all the damn fools out of the Texas legislature, it would no longer be a representative body”
RIP Molly
November 27th, 2009 at 3:54 amWhat the heck? It’s no weirder calling a dog shelter Newt than calling a man Newt.
November 27th, 2009 at 6:31 am@52. Again with the BS links? Quit throwing shitty links!
November 27th, 2009 at 7:46 amI think they should name a dog shelter for Palin: “Pit Bulls, no lipstick.”
November 27th, 2009 at 7:58 amHe He, I like it.
November 27th, 2009 at 8:01 amIt’s nice to know that the pit bull with lipstick will someday have a home if she ever becomes homeless. ;)

November 27th, 2009 at 10:28 ampobeeno does that comment even make sense? Why not just post the crap about the Privacy Center and leave the commenting to the rest of us?
November 27th, 2009 at 10:29 amThat’s right, Jeffy, Olbermann Derangement Syndrome. You got it bad.
November 27th, 2009 at 10:29 am@57, good lord, what is it going to take for you to quit posting those stupid links?
November 27th, 2009 at 10:32 amTP what gives? It took you folks forever to get rid of the Privacy Center last time. Do they pay you folks or something to let them hawk that stupid shit?
November 27th, 2009 at 10:36 amFortunately, it’s only the two stupid links we keep getting. Though I suppose that’s the problem isn’t it?
November 27th, 2009 at 10:38 amI have never opened the Privacy Center’s link. Do they have some sort of contact we can flood with annoying nonsensical crap
November 27th, 2009 at 11:07 amAt the time, Rizos said she would take the money to build a shelter for unwanted pit bulls. The Dallas Morning News reported yesterday that “Newt’s Nook: A Home For Pit Bulls” is now open
May I suggest a home for unwanted adulterers called:
November 27th, 2009 at 11:09 amNewt’s Nookie
“Newt’s Nook: A Home For busted down beyotches who no one wants anymore”…sort of like newt.
November 27th, 2009 at 11:20 am@64. It’s a bogus security site, I doubt we can get more nonsensical than that dude.
November 27th, 2009 at 11:49 ampobeeno sure looks a lot like a fat Yuri or hairy Ivan working through a czech host.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:05 pmHow about “Slimmy Newt’s Rock”?
It would be more correct.
worship and adore the visible made up magical faerie in the sky.
Good luck with the “God” stuff…
