Do you believe Predatory Gambling is immune?

Bad Sheldon's on the right.

There couldn't be an uglier face for Big Money taking over our country and destroying our democracy than organized-crime gambling billionaire Sheldon Adelson. We've been following the Adelson story at DWT for years, and his blatant move to acquire the White House is finally getting out to the public a little. Rachel Maddow has done yeoman's work on the subject, but it's become so blatant that even the mainstream media is starting to take note. Last week Mike McIntyre and Michael Luo introduced the problem to NY Times readers, although to them, of course, it was all about Newt Gingrich's campaign rather than about a fundamental undermining of democracy itself. Rich people buying elections is more important than Sheldon Adelson giving a candidate $11 million for a couple of primaries (and $17 million over all).
