No chip on Rep. Ashford’s purse-battered shoulder

How’s this for timing?
On the same day that Sheldon Adelson’s wife dropped her Hermès clutch off a ledge and whacked him on the shoulder, Rep. Brad Ashford (D-Neb.) became the newest lawmaker to sign on as a co-sponsor to an anti-online-gambling bill backed by Adelson. In fact, Ashford was the only congressman to sign on Tuesday. The other 13 co-sponsors had signed on in the weeks prior.
