Questions Surround Activities of Clinton Donor
NY Sun ^ | 3/16/2006 | Meghan Clyne

WASHINGTON - Senator Clinton's likely Republican opponent in 2006 and a South Korean newspaper are raising questions about campaign donations the New York Democrat has received from a New York businessman who is involved in an organization that sets up cultural events in North Korea.

The organization was founded by a man who later resigned as South Korea's ambassador to America after allegations emerged that he helped establish a "slush fund" for South Korean politicians.

"Once again serious questions surround Senator Clinton's fund-raising operation," the Republican challenger in Mrs. Clinton's Senate re-election bid, a former mayor of Yonkers, John Spencer, said about the donations. "We know that federal charges were levied against her fund-raisers from her last campaign and that she has taken money linked to supporters of Iranian mullahs. Now another issue pops up. Senator Clinton needs to come clean and answer these latest questions."

A request for comment from Mrs. Clinton's Senate office was referred to her campaign spokesman, Sam Arora, who did not return repeated phone call and e-mail requests for comment Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday.

saying a Clinton donor is surrounded by questions is like saying "air is good to breathe"

The businessman also said that despite the FEC filings, he was not an "investor" in the WCO or any related groups, but rather a "volunteer" or "temporary adviser," adding: "Sometimes, my associates will not pay attention to fill out those things."

And sometimes, breaking the law will get you into trouble... lets hope this is one of those times!

I agree. The Clinton donors are always seedy, from the Far East and looking for something gigantic in return. (Like missle guidance systems for the Chinese in 1997.) I think a headline for the Clintons should be ... Found! Clinton Donor with no Shady Past! Details at 6:00!

Every minute that Hillary isn't doing things for herself, she devotes to doing things for New York. Hey New York: feeling schnookered yet?

"Don't cry for me, New Yorkers!
The truth is, I was never with you.
All through my wild days,
My mad existence,
I broke my promises.
Better keep your distance."

Good spokesman she's got there.

I'm not sure that would exterminate all of the evil. We ought to pay to put her on a rocket and send her to the sun. But, wait a minute. We can't pollute the sun! We better just blast her into outer space. But, wait a minute...Dang.

I feel your frustration. Maybe we could dump her in a volcano like the Evil Xenu did millenia ago.
