Regarding Newt Gingrich and this Porn Entrepeneur - didn't Newt did this before?

I could swear that less than 10 years ago, Newt also gave an award to an Escort Agency or something for something similar to the current 'mistake' of his.

Do any of you DUers have a clearer memory on this? I've tried Google but the only thing that keeps coming up is the pron entrepeneur.

Matt Smith wrote an SF Weekly cover story this week revealing that the state had given almost $50,000 to Kink.com, the world's largest fetish porn company, for job training. The article resulted in the funding being revoked. Violet Blue responded in detail, interviewing many of the performers. The Bay Guardian tried to interview Smith but he declined to be interviewed. Smith responded to Violet on his blog, citing freedom of speech. Violet says she's not done with yet (NSFW). Now all the San Francisco outlets are writing about it including SFist, Bay Guardian, and The Sword.
