When it comes to San Pablo's new mega-casino, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apparently hit the jackpot even before he pulled the lever on the deal.

Maloof Sports and Entertainment -- the management team hired to run the new, Costco- size San Pablo Casino for the Lytton Band of Pomo Indians -- hosted a party back in February that raised more than $1 million for Schwarzenegger's political coffers.

"We've already raised $1 million,'' Joe Maloof told his hometown Albuquerque Journal shortly before the gathering. "We could get to $1.5 million. ... Gov. Schwarzenegger has a tremendous way of bringing Republicans and Democrats together."

In addition to the $1 million the Maloofs said they raised for Schwarzenegger, the brothers donated $64,505 in services connected to the event, records show.

And he has since repeatedly slammed the role of "special interests'' money in state politics, even remarking during last year's recall, "As soon as you take their money, you owe them something.''

2. Repubs are in bed with many Native Casino tribes

so are some dems.

It is veryy lucrative.

Ultimately it will come down to wioreless gaming and offshore money-laundering for political global warfare.

But..... shhhhhhh.

Nobody is paying attention to it.


(Backstory: Carlyle and Bush use casino and gaming revenues to finance internet wireless gaming in offshore banks that can be used for blackops globally. Homeland security laws permit corpprations with homeland security contracts to put their money in offshore banks - tax exempt and secrecy laws etc., so the money can be used to murder political opponents or pay for cannabilistic mercenaries stealing diamond territory in the Congo)

But shhh.... national security, etc. Nobody knows but the spooks.
