Grassroots Billionaires


Primo asshole Karl "Turdblossom" Rove isn't resting on his fat derriere this election, no siree! With fellow wingnut flamer Ed Gillespie, Rove founded a money raising/ laundering outfit called "American Crossroads" designed to dump cash into Rethuglican campaigns. American DoubleCrossroads is ostensibly a "grassroots" organization (aren't they all?), but recent filings show that 97 percent of the $4.7 million raised so far has come from 4 billionaires! That's some pretty high maintenance grass you got there, Turdblossom!

For the foreseeable future, thanks to the Supreme Court "Citizens United" decision allowing unlimited corporate spending on campaigns, expect to see more of the right-wing plutocrats out there aggressively trying to buy elections.
