Consequently, General Growth will have to make twice as many installment payments to LVS as originally. It already owns the nearby Grand Canal Shoppes, at The Venetian, purchased four years ago for $776 million.
McCain's Vegas Quickie: I guess he just loves us for our money. In and out in an hour, long enough to embrace newfound enthusiast Sheldon Adelson and make a tacky joke about our reeling local economy. We're told John McCain made "an inspirational speech about his position on the economy," which we'll have to take on faith because neither the Great Unwashed nor their representatives in the Fourth Estate were allowed to hear any of it (and because nothing McCain has said about the economy lately has evinced either inspiration or a coherent position beyond guvmint doing "as little as possible").
According to Jon Ralston, McCain took two -- count 'em, two -- questions before skedaddling out a side door. Not that McCain's anti-collegiate sports betting, pro-Yucca Mountain and do-nothing economic stances would probably play well here. Still, none of the foregoing -- not even McCain's snub of local media yokels (compared to his chummy relationship with Beltway regulars) prevents a local publisher from falling in a maidenly swoon at McCain's feet (oh, and saying Republicans have "moved far beyond ... when it comes to honestly discussing matters of race"; yes, if by "moved far beyond" you mean "completely freaking ignored," then he's got it about right.)
The worst part for Las Vegans is that Sherm Fredrick's pro McCain editorial is positively mild compared to Brian Greenspun's pandering for Hillary. The most pathetic was Sunday's "Where I Stand" editorial, which looked like a grown-ups version of the "Leave Britney Alone!" rant on YouTube.
I'll take your word for it. Greenspun is so bloody boring I don't even read him. At least he's constant. Seems like just yesterday that Sherm had a man-crush on Bill Richardson.
