Sheldon Adelson, casino tycoon, both in Vegas and in China's sex trade mecca of Macao, and a neocon sugar daddy donor, will entertain Jeb Bush at a Republican establishment gathering next week in Las Vegas. Jeb will be the featured speaker at an exclusive VIP dinner on Thursday next week, hosted by Adelson and his wife at his company's private airplane hangar at Las Vegas Macarran International Airport. This Jeb-centric dinner will kick off a four day "leadership" event that will feature other neocon luminaries such as John Bolton, and Dick Cheney.
Jeb may try to paint himself as "sane" and "moderate" when it comes to immigration and education (just as his brother ran the "compassionate conservative" scam to great effect in times less cynical about Bush political motives), but Jeb's neocon credentials should be seen as solid gold given itineraries and associations such as these. Lookout Iran!
Adelson, himself, is an interesting figure, and his ideological migration from Democrat to Republican fits a classic neocon pattern, and he considers himself a sort of counterweight to "progressive" plutocratic kingmakers like George Soros
