Sheldon Adelson 'Roved' Again?
Breitbart ^ | 9/18/14 | DAN RIEHL

Posted on 09/20/2014 11:57:51 AM PDT by jimbo123

Just as a high stakes gambler in the wrong place at the wrong time might get "rolled" from time to time, Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson appears ripe to get "Roved" yet again based upon reports he's "donated $10 million to a Karl Rove-backed outfit boosting Republican Senate candidates and promised a similar amount to an allied group focused on House races."

If the GOPe had a single ounce of brains they’d realize how polarizing a figure their man Rove has become. He’s a real liability to them now.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Donating money to political candidates based on Karl Rove's recommendations is like putting your money on a jackass in the Kentucky Derby.

Years ago when Rove was a cause célèbre around these parts, I and a precious few other FReepers took a lot flack for pointing out the opportunistic, poll-taking, barometer reading, devoid of core values, RINO that Rove was.

It's good to see that not only has Rove outed himself for what he is, but that at least a lot of people aren't in denial about it like they were then.

As my friend used to say to some we knew, “I know you’re rich, but why aren’t you smart?”

I’ve rarely known intellect and money to go hand in hand.

Terrible fundraising for Tokyo Rove and bad news for his consultant cronies Main Street Media and Mentzer Media.

You would think these billionaires would have better sense.
Rove spent about 300 million in 2012 with nothing to show for it.

He raised $300 million in 2012 and less than $5 million so far in 2014. That’s a dramatic loss of 15% advertising commissions kickbacks for Rove and his cronies.

Rove has always been an open borders buffoon.... How good is this except for the cheap labor Republicans and nation sabotaging democrats.

I’m glad you did. It’s one of my favorite Rove gifs. :-)

Technically it would be a rhino, but in general the analogy works

Man...that’s cruel...photo shopping Rove’s head onto a topless body shot of Rosie O’Donnell. Just plain mean.
