The Obama campaign is in an utter tizzy about the selection of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate. Yesterday, they sent out an email asking “why the hell†Romney would pick Ryan, and speculating that it was because Ryan was a corporate patsy who would serve the interests of back room fat cats. Today, they’re making that argument complete with a supremely offensive attack on Ryan’s visit to Las Vegas – and, in particular, his upcoming visit with Republican donor Sheldon Adelson:
Benjamin --
Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands' Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who's already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.
That's the same Sheldon Adelson who gave $15 million to help Newt Gingrich against Mitt Romney in the primary, and said he may give $100 million -- basically, whatever it costs -- to defeat Barack Obama.
We're starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick. Before Ryan's even been fully introduced to the American people, he's attending a private fundraiser in Vegas with the top super PAC donor.
We're doing this differently, with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford -- but it's going to take a lot more of us to match them. Will you donate $3 or more today?

Kind of a weird cross between anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic, really...this is a road they probably ought to not go down, given how much of Obama's stimulus spending went to his bundlers.

You're right -- they're dumping on Ryan's Catholicism too . . .
Also it reeks of desperation

Sounds very 'Godfather'-ish to me. I'm not a Catholic so I've never heard that phrase in relation to the Pope.

Sounds "diamond merchant" to me.

Kissing the pope's ring
Kissing the Ring of the Fisherman (in Italian, the pescatorio) is a centuries-old Catholic tradition.[23] Each newly ordained Pope is given a gold ring with his name in raised lettering and the image of St. Peter in a fishing boat.[23] The Pope is believed to be the spiritual successor of the apostle Peter, who was known as one of the “fishers of men†(Mark 1:17). Originally the ring was used to seal documents, historically called papal briefs. However, this custom ended in 1842 when the wax seal was replaced by a stamp. Today, Catholics pay respect to the reigning Pope by kneeling before him and kissing his ring.

Obama Campaign can kiss MY ass. No ring involved.

I bet ABM would kiss Soros ass (and maybe more) if he would shell out the bucks Adelson has/will.

Bingo. And h5.

Big Deal Obama takes it in the ass from Soros while Soros gives him a reach around.

Obama bowed to terrorist leaders. I would take Ryan kissing a Ring over that any day.
