Via Norwegian TV <http://www.dbtv.no/?vid=1952504102001>:

Adeslon: I'm only one vote.

Questioner: But you contributed a huge sum of money to Romney's 
campaign.  He was very thankful for that?

Adelson: Yes.

Question: How do you think your money was spent? Was it well spent?

Adeson: By paying bills. That's how you spend money. Either that or 
become a Jewish husband---you spend a lot of money.
