From: Sent: 8/2/2012 5:57:19 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein [jeeyacation@gmail.com] Subject: Fwd: Why not in Vegas? Importance: High Why Not in Vegas? By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Published: July 31, 2012 418 Comments • FACEBOOK • TWITTER • GOOGLE+ • E-MAIL • SHARE • PRINT • REPRINTS • I'll make this quick. I have one question and one observation about Mitt Romney's visit to Israel. The question is this: Since the whole trip was not about learning anything but about how to satisfy the political whims of the right-wing, super pro-Bibi Netanyahu, American Jewish casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, why didn't they just do the whole thing in Las Vegas? I mean, it was all about money anyway — how much Romney would abase himself by saying whatever the Israeli right wanted to hear and how big a jackpot of donations Adelson would shower on the Romney campaign in return. Really, Vegas would have been so much more appropriate than Jerusalem. They could have constructed a plastic Wailing Wall and saved so much on gas.
