Freedom’s Watch, Partisan Windbag Group, Goes Bankrupt

[Stingo]

The right wing whack jobs have lost another of their so-called “advocacy” groups, this one affiliated with Ari Fleischer. The irony here is that their main benefactor, a casino owner, is much less rich than he was before the Bushies and Republicans ran the economy into the ground. He’s no longer willing to bankroll the partisan windbags.

2. I'm guessing

a few other Repub fake advocacy groups might follow. Dem groups, however, appear to actually be supported by small donations, so they are going to be less effected by the collapse of their main funding stream.

3. Mr. Adelson, the main guy who bankrolled it, watched his company lose 95% of its value.

He was a billionaire, probably still is. He just isn't in the big leagues like Warren Buffett is anymore. Without him, Freedom's Watch is shown up to be just another astroturf organization started by rightists.

5. And Astroturf Freedom's Watch

goes down with him.

6. Even Depressions have their good points.

Let Sheldon, Bill and Mel just go back to buying off Nevada judges and Knesset members. Leave the rest of us alone.
