The Democratic Party's attempt to go cold turkey on attacking Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his "billionaire" funders came to an abrupt end Tuesday.

The Obama 2012 campaign sent out a fundraising email early Tuesday evening sideswiping Romney running mate Paul Ryan for traveling to "Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate."

"We're starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick," the email says.

Funny, the Obama campaign didn't have any problems sending Michelle Obama to Vegas several times this year, which includes a trip to the City of Sin for  an Obama 2012 fundraiser in May.

The pot clearly needs a reintroduction to the kettle.

(Side Note: It's not even called the "Sand's Venetian" it's called the Venetian Hotel and Resort. The Sands Expo and Convention Center conjoins the Venetian and Palazzo casino areas. At least we know that Obama 2012 communications team doesn't have a gambling problem.)
