Hillary to blame for taking Hsu's cash, insiders say
Union Leader ^ | 9/15/07 | Robert Novak

Posted on 09/15/2007 5:09:06 AM PDT by LdSentinal

Democratic insiders blame Sen. Hillary Clinton’s micromanaging for her presidential campaign’s acceptance of nearly $900,000 in contributions donated or raised by Norman Hsu, convicted for fraud and a former fugitive.

The Clinton campaign has insinuated that her financial aides dropped the ball in failing to vet Hsu before taking his money. But the senator is obsessive in running her own campaign, taking responsibility for details.

Hsu for many years has been well known in New York Democratic circles, appearing at events with $5,000 to $20,000 in contributions. Recipients were ignorant of his criminal background. Nevertheless, considering Clinton administration scandals about dirty money from Asian businessmen, Democrats are amazed that Sen. Clinton did not thoroughly investigate Hsu before accepting funds.

I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.

For Hillary, no money is too dirty until she gets caught.

Ding, ding. Of course she knew and knew for years.

“Those familiar with the Clinton response to scandal know the process by heart. It inevitably goes something like this: first, deny any wrongdoing; then explain it as a misunderstanding or bureaucratic mistake; when it is clear there is actual wrongdoing begin to stonewall and obfuscate; then move on to simultaneously attacking anyone who brings up the scandal and dismissing the issue as old news.”

Exactly. There is relevant and timely news and old news. It just happens that after the “misunderstanding phase”...anything potentially critical of the Clintons has automatically become old news.

“But the senator is obsessive in running her own campaign, taking responsibility for details.”

Except when it’s found that she broke the law, in which case it’s someone else’s fault. And, if that person refuses to accept blame? — Ask Vince Foster.

Does this really matter? People don't care about this because both parties accept
illegal donations from illegal sources. As long as they get rid of the donation...

So what? She gave it to charity! That's a real good thing...

Was her charity the Mt. Carmel Memorial Fund? (in Waco?)

"Democrats are amazed . . . "

. . . that he was still alive and managed to dig himself out of his earthen grave after being buried alive for three days.

. . . that he decided at the last minute to take a train instead of the doomed plane.

. . . that the poison only made him sick.

. . . that he was able to escape from the trunk of his car on the way to Fort Marcy Park.

And this is a surprise... to anyone not on their knees to Her Ankleship?

As they say, "Those that ignore history... end up having no history!"

This could be a great campaign ad for a Republican presidential candidtate. First, we have to find one that has the brains to realize it though.

Have been waiting for someone in Media to use Hillary's own words. She always has the peferct line when she is in spotlight; albeit she is using her words against someone else. It is like her 'truth' cannot help but 'out itself'.

Hillary's own lines are the best - when used against her.
