This is a marvelous sentence. I love reading this sentence. It is a sentence full of pure, innocent enjoyment:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a public apology Thursday afternoon to billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson for charging that the Republican mega donor was tied to the Chinese mob and a prostitution ring.
I’d give you the background, except that you can see it all, right there: the DCCC accused Mr. Adelson of being a pimp for the Chinese mob, Mr. Adelson cast Summon Elite Lawyer Ninja Squad in response, and then the DCCC suddenly realized that they were in deep, deep legal trouble. It’ll be interesting whether or not this is enough to get Adelson’s attack dogs to heel; personally, I’d want at least an actual scalp or two, but then I’m a partisan political hack, not a billionaire.
If being a billionare doesn’t mean you can indulge yourself a bit and make the DCCC grovel *AND* pay a settlement (or sue, string it out, and make them grovel *again*), what good is it?
What good, indeed.
I’m with HeartbreakRidge on this one too.
Moe, who called you a hack? Or which group, pray-tell?
Missed that one, apparently.
What-ever are they talking about?
The saddest part is that this is the best outcome. What if they had been right (Twice a day, yes?)? What can the DNCC do to protect themselves from the “Chinese Mob” (which, by definition, is going to be connected to the Chinese government) who are ruthless killers with Diplomatic Immunity?
K M Scane, Moe has been gleefully calling himself a partisan hack for years. 🙂
Might explain why Harry Reid is making his accusations on the floor of the Senate now.
They got Nothing and they Know it, time for the desperation tactics of the Not Very Bright! Personally, for me Hairy Read, name intentionally misspelled, takes the cake. He can’t be prosecuted for what he says on the floor by an act of congress. Just in case no one knew that. The Democrats Delenda Est!
And if you were a billionaire, I would be happy for you, not poisoned with envy.
