Kind of leaving the plantation, isn’t he?

Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the back of the head, anyone?

Interesting. Maybe there is some legs on this after all. It would be funny if Hillary was so dirty that it could not be hidden and the NYT was told to bring her down. Perchance to dream...

Wasn’t this book the more sympathetic one written about her this year? Maybe I’m misremembering. For some reason I just don’t trust the NYT to write the truth about their chosen Presidential candidate. I won’t hold my breath.

Time Line:

09/12/07 Van Natta announces investigation

09/14/07 Van Natta leaves on vacation to Hot Springs

09/28/07 Van Natta returns from vacation

10/01/07 Van Natta releases his report

10/01/07 Report

Ladies and Gentlemen:

After one of the most extensive investigations of my career, I can tell you two things for absolute certainty. The best part of this summary, is that it does not depend on what the definition of “it” is.

Therefore, I can honestly tell you, that Hillary Clinton has done nothing wrong and for the good of the nation, let the coronation begin...

This is like the good old days of the Clinton Administration. Who will be the next Monica Lewinsky? Will she be on Hillary’s rope line with a Beret?

Who’s got the popcorn? It’s going to be a long election season.

Yeah be sure he is is really after the money source and who- what-when-where made the connections and not playing the part of Mariano Rivera for Hillary’s campaign (going after the save).

See the bottom of this Herald Tribune article dated 9/09/07 entitled How did Norman Hsu become such a big donor to Democrats? to see who was a contributor.

Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the back of the head, anyone?

I think she's more sophisticated and nuanced than he is. Prostate cancer, perhaps. Or maybe a mad gunman robbing the Starbucks he frequents accidentally pops him. Maybe they find him in Central Park still holding the knife he used to perform seppuku.

From the WSJ:

'60s Figure Says He Financed Donor Hsu

**********************EXCERPT*****************************

Woodstock Creator
Tells DA That Funds
Have Gone Missing

A $40 Million Shortfall
By IANTHE JEANNE DUGAN and BRODY MULLINS
September 12, 2007; Page A1

Where did Norman Hsu get his money?

That has been one of the big questions hanging over the prominent Democratic fund-raiser, as reports have surfaced about hundreds of thousands of dollars he made in political donations, plus lavish parties, fancy apartments and a $2 million bond he posted to get out of jail earlier this month.

New documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal may help point to an answer: A company controlled by Mr. Hsu recently received $40 million from a Madison Avenue investment fund run by Joel Rosenman, who was one of the creators of the Woodstock rock festival in 1969. That money, Mr. Rosenman told investors this week, is missing.

They can only hold their breath for just so long -

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I want to set this up for you. I've been wondering whether the Norman Hsu-Hsu Chao Ling-Hillary Clinton-Democrat Party finance scandal would take root and take off. The place that you have to look to find out if this is going to happen (it's sad, but this is the reality) is the New York Times. If the New York Times decides that this scandal is too threatening to Mrs. Clinton and the party, then the New York Times is going to start saying so in its own way. Now, I don't know that that's happened yet, but I got two stories here from the New York Times that may indicate they're having real problems with this story as it relates to Mrs. Clinton. If it's true, then I suspect that they're going to have a problem with this. They will then have to have an alternative candidate, which would be Obama. He's not as hip-deep in the Hsu scandal as Mrs. Clinton is, but he's deep in it. The headline here of this Times story: "Clinton Sees Fear Realized in Trouble with Donor," and another story from the New York Times: "Take the Money and Rue." That is their editorial on this, and they say that Hillary is in a "scandal" in this editorial. They use that word and associate it with her. The editorial is basically just (sobbing), "Oh, can't we go back to the days of public financing and clean up this mess?" Go talk to the McCain-Feingold boys, New York Times. You guys got what you want here, and now it turns out you don't like it because it's leading to a scandal of your front-runner. It's gonna be fascinating to watch this.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The Washington Post, by the way, is giving Mrs. Clinton a pass on the fundraising, but the New York Times is not, ladies and gentlemen.
