MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Suzanne Schevelle, Tony Batman And The Lodge In Dallas Texas
Dallas, Texas – The dynamic duo of Tony Batman and his showgirl partner, Schevelle found themselves facing the cameras of MSNBC on October 27, 2009, as Dallas gentlemen’s club owner, Dawn Rizos placed her American Solutions for Winning the Future refund check into doing good for animals in a Texas animal shelter.
Roving reporter for the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC, Kent Jones arrived at The Lodge with many questions for Rizos. After the adult entrepreneur sat down to answer his questions about how The Lodge had come into the nomination process for the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award, sponsored by the conservative group headed by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, Rizos arranged for Schevelle to speak with him.
Schevelle reminisces, “I sat down to dinner with Kent, as he sampled the award winning dinner that has made The Lodge famous in Dallas. Kent asked a lot of questions, and was very polite to me.”
However, Batman reports much less enthusiasm on the part of Jones and MSNBC’s line producers in attendance during the taping of the segment, regarding his ties to the adult entertainment industry. “It never ceases to amaze me that talking about strip clubs is okay in most people’s versions of ‘Polite conversation’, but mention the adult entertainment industry and all of a sudden it turns into an uncomfortable silence. That double standard needs to end.”
Schevelle finds good in the whole situation however, “I think that Dawn Rizos made a very good decision. I am so proud of her and I enjoyed being part of her announcement that she is using the money Gingrich’s group tried to bilk her out of for a good cause. She is taking that $5000 she was going to pay American Solutions for a fake award, and is putting it into funding an animal shelter. That money will help innocent victims of misguided public hatred and scorn; namely abused and abandoned pit bulls and other animals deemed as too dangerous or undesirable to place into regular pet adoption programs. Someday, even people like Newt Gingrich, and people that think like him, will realize that all living things should be treated with compassion and dignity and given help and comfort when they are in need. To me and Tony, Dawn is much more of an upstanding human being for realizing that and acting on it, than for any bogus award she might have been offered a chance at buying.”
Schevelle and Batman are still touring the US, performing stage shows at Gentlemen’s Clubs. They will be appearing at various adult nightclubs in Nevada and California during the month of November.
