Sheldon Adelson, Right Wing Sugar Daddy, Dies



He was Mango Mussolini's (and Bomb Bomb Netanyahu's) biggest financial supporter.  We will not miss him:

Sheldon G. Adelson, a cabdriver’s son who built the world’s largest empire of casinos and resort hotels in Las Vegas, Macau, Singapore and other gambling meccas and used his vast wealth to promote right-wing political agendas in America and Israel, died on Monday night. He was 87.

Funny how Trumpist politics makes strange bedfellows

BONUS:  Tom Levenson at Balloon Juice has an appropriate send- off.

Too bad we're not currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of his death.
