Yea, But Bribing American Officials is a Whole ‘Nother Thing

Remember Sheldon Adelson?  The Las Vegas guy who spent $150 million dollars to help Republicans in the last election?

You know, the guy who looks like a cross between Jabba the Hutt and The Godfather?  That guy.

Well, Darlin’, he rolled the dice and came up about $150 million dollars short.

Plus, he’s had to admit to the Securities and Exchange Commission that his Las Vegas Sands Corporation “likely violated a federal law against bribing foreign officials.”

It seems that Sheldon admits to bribing Chinese government officials to expand his business in China.  The total amount of the bribe?  $700,000.

Now that’s a far cry from the $150,000,000 he used to bribe Republicans to expand his wealth.  Only difference is that that’s perfectly legal in the United States of America.

Is this a great country, or what?
