Hillary's Mysterious Benefactor Mr. Hsu Is A Fugitive Wanted By The LawThe poor gal just can't help being duped by smooth, shady operators... and that's exactly what you want in your Commander in Chief. Don't worry, none of this is important, newsworthy, or even terribly interesting. The Deciders have decided. For the last 15 years, California authorities have been trying to figure out what happened to a businessman named Norman Hsu, who pleaded no contest to grand theft, agreed to serve up to three years in prison and then seemed to vanish. This campaign message brought to you by Hillary! 2008. As a Democratic rainmaker, Hsu -- who graduated from UC Berkeley and the Wharton School of Business -- is credited with donating nearly $500,000 to national and local party candidates and their political committees in the last three years. He earned a place in the Clinton campaign's "HillRaiser" group by pledging to raise more than $100,000 for her presidential bid. No one knew he was shady. Can't fault anyone involved in this. Poor Hillary! and the other Democrats taking straw-man donations from a fugitive felon were duped yet again. Unlike as was the case with, say, Jack Abramoff. In that case, everyone taking his donations should have known he was bilking his clients. Nuance. Thanks to JackStraw. PS: Liberals will claim my criticism of the MSM is self-defeating here-- after all, this story is from the LAT. But the fact that reporters occasionally rouse themselves to actually report on Democratic skullduggery hardly proves that The Deciders in the MSM give stories that hurt Democrats the same play, the same flood-the-zone coverage that they give similar stories that hurt Republicans. The LAT duly noted this and will now dutifully move on. We will not have the feeding frenzy of the NYT, NBC, CBS, and ABC all breathlessly reporting on this story and once and dedicating serious journalistic resources to advance it. Abramoff was taken by the media to demonstrate the heart of corruption in the GOP (despite the fact that Harry Reid took more money from Abramoff than most Republicans); this story, on the other hand, signifies nothing at all. It's of a piece with the Guess That Party! game. When a Republican is caught dirty, it's an indictment of the GOP. When a Democrat is caught dirty, on the other hand, it's merely an indictment of "the system" generally -- no specific fault found on the part of a Democratic politician or the Democratic Party generally. | Recent Comments
