Edwards and Obama Throwing No Stones at Clinton’s Hsu Connection
By Craig Crawford

Glass houses can be such a pain. You just know that Democratic presidential hopefuls John Edwards and Barack Obama would relish mercilessly blasting party rival Hillary Rodham Clinton for taking money from a fugitive, businessman Norman Hsu. The story has all the makings of a sequel to the many and various fundraising battles of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
In the week before the story broke, forcing Clinton to return the money that Hsu had raised, Edwards made a big splash by uttering the words “Lincoln Bedroom” in a bid to connect Clinton to one of her husband’s embarrassing fundraising schemes.
But Edwards and Obama have been cautious in their comments about Hsu. They well know that the Clinton camp would fire right back at them, targeting Edwards’ hedge fund ties and trial lawyer cash, and Obama’s ties to indicted Chicago real estate executive Tony Rezko.
Perhaps that’s why the toughest attacks on Clinton’s Hsu connection have come from the Republicans.

For every democrat there are probably 100 Hsus.
That’s because they are both running for Vice President, not President...Someone like Dennis Kucinich will probably criticize her, since he has nothing to lose...
Kucinich has all the info as of about a week and a half ago. Nothing from that weasel.
These clowns for candidates already know enough that to piss off Hitlery you run a severe risk of old fashioned Arkansacide for yourself and/or your loved ones.
The last time I checked her hit tally was around 96 (give or take 6).
Ron Brown never knew what hit him since his plane crashed under very mysterious circumstances and Vince's alleged suicide was so lame that a 10 year old could see it was faked.
My thoughts too.
I had visions of Vince in the Park.
Two lil boyz who supposedly got ran over by a train.
Different 'Rats, Same Corrupted Pack
And with one of 'em cause of death was ruled to be "natural causes" by the local Coroner. I suppose when your head is detached from your body by a freight train, naturally, you would die. Seems like there were also a couple on that Clinton list that fell out of helicopters, too.
“The last time I checked her hit tally was around 96.”
....................................................
This murdered list seems excessive, prophetic, name them.
IIRC the list became like the Kevin Bacon Movie game.
With the Vince Foster death I am hoping his wife reveals some truth to her honest feelings about that.
She has pretty much insisted his behavior was paculiar as in possible depression in the dayz/weeks prior to his demise.
For every democrat there are probably 100 Hsus.
truer words nver spoken!!!!!
Republicans resign for fundraising scandals.
Democrats criticize Republicans for fundraising scandals.
yes, why on earth would they want to point out her connection to drug lords and chinese spies? that would be just awful
Barack Obama and John Edwards don't have a death wish however.
No, they’re playing “saintly” because they know the media is doing the job for them. But, in the General Election, we won’t let America forget. Not that it will make any difference to the majority of the uninformed, fickle electorate. It didn’t hurt Bill Clinton in ‘96.
See my tagline.
It’s not like they wouldn’t accept the money also, when offered. Hsu just sent the money to the most familiar crook.
I'm just gonna post this here because someone really ought to take a good look at that commitee...
...committee...
Then why hasn’t “Cooked Spinach” released the information???
