Sheldon Adelson: The GOP’s Godfather

By The Editors Monday, March 31st, 2014

ROTTEN TO THE CORLEONE DEPT.

2016 Republican presidential wannabes from Chris Christie to Jeb Bush descended on Las Vegas last weekend to suck up to billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson.  In 2012, Adelson, along with his wife, anted up $93 million to Republican candidates. (Including $16.5 million to Newt Gingrich alone. Hey Shel, talk about playing the long odds!) We’re sure Adelson’s motives are pure and he’ll never come to call upon these politicians one day and ask them to perform a service for him. Sure — and Luca Brasi committed suicide.
