Clinton and Spitzer Cover Each Other’s Behind in News Conference

Hillary Clinton is being forced to answer questions about her dirty money man, Normal Hsu, and his contributions to her campaign.  Hillary claims to be 'surprised' at Mr. Hsu's criminal past — does anyone really believe her?  If this woman is the Democratic nominee for president, the Republicans will be more energized and motivated despite their lackluster candidates.  With the continued reminders of Clinton scandals of the pst, Hillary will lose yet another election for the Democrats if she is the nominee.

From the New York Observer:

Sen Hillary Clinton said today that she was "surprised" to learn that one of her bundlers, Norman Hsu, had a warrant out for his arrest related to a California fraud case.

"Obviously we were all surprised by this news and we have a procedure that we follow and upon verifying it we returned his money and continue to analyze all contributions and take action if that's warranted," she said.

Clinton, answering questions after a press conference about children's health insurance with Eliot Spitzer at the governor's office in midtown, went on to say, "I wish Mr. Hsu well in all the problems that he is confronting."

She refused to respond as to why she had given to charity the money Hsu contributed directly to her campaign but not the money he had raised by bringing in other donors.

Clinton was then pressed to respond to critics who said the Hsu matter was similar to past Clinton fund-raising controversies, such as letting top donors sleep in the White House's Lincoln bedroom.

"I don't think it's analagous at all," she said.

"When you have as many contributors as I am fortunate enough to have, we do the very best job we can on the information available."

Spitzer then jumped in, effectively blocking any more questions on the issue, saying, "I think it's a fair question to ask - is Sen Clinton's campaign or any campaign supposed to doing a better job than the authorities of California who theoretically had an open warrant for this guy and didn't do anything? Come on, guys. Let's get real."

That response prompted a question about whther Clinton's presence at the press conference was a show of support for the embattled governor - which he was returning in kind.

"Well," said Clinton, "I support the governor."

Hillary’s Chinagate Scandal?

It's not a Buddhist temple, but the shady fundraising methods look the same. Like Al Gore, who took laundered cash, Sen. Hillary Clinton's got some explaining to do.

The presidential hopeful pocketed $55,000 from a family of Chinese immigrants living in a modest house near the San Francisco airport. The Paw family, headed by a mail carrier, is one of the biggest sources of donations to her campaign.

Turns out the gifts were bundled together by Paw family friend Norman Hsu, a Chinese businessman who at one time owned its 1,280-square-foot house. Hsu (pronounced "shoo") now lives in New York, where he ranks as one of Hillary's top rainmakers, quietly raising well over $1 million for her campaign.

Though his donations closely track the Paw's, Hsu denies reimbursing them for their contributions. It's a federal crime to reimburse donors for campaign gifts. (It's also a crime to knowingly accept gifts made by donors in the name of others.)

Hillary's campaign spokesman insists the senator has "absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question."

California authorities may beg to differ. According to the Los Angeles Times, Hsu is a fugitive who last decade was convicted of grand theft and sentenced to three years in prison.

This story has an eerily familiar ring to it.

Hillary Clinton’s Dirty Money Man

Here's an elementary rule for presidential campaigning that Sen. Hillary Clinton was wise to obey: When you discover one of your major donors is a fugitive who skipped out on a three-year prison term, give his money back.

So it goes with Norman Hsu, a Democratic fund-raiser with a special affinity for Clinton and a penchant for elusiveness. He co-hosted a Los Angeles event at the home of billionaire Ron Burkle that raked in $1 million for Clinton. Hsu has given her $23,000 of his own money. He is also a bundler, pulling together contributions from others, and has pledged to raise more than $100,000 for Clinton's White House run.

Oh, and one other thing. California authorities have been searching for Hsu for 15 years, ever since he pleaded no contest to a grand theft charge in connection with an investment scheme and agreed to serve up to three years in prison. Hsu's lawyer told the Los Angeles Times his client has no memory of entering such a plea. Go figure.

Hsu has been out and about as a businessman and political money machine. According to The Wall Street Journal, he once listed his address as a house near San Francisco. The place is occupied by the family of a postal worker that has somehow managed to give $200,000 to Democratic candidates - including $45,000 to Clinton - since 2005.

It's time for Hsu to pay his debt to society. And Clinton was right yesterday to give his $23,000 to charity.

Family’s 45K For Hillary Clinton Draws Fire

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign aides yesterday said they won't return tens of thousands of dollars contributed by a seemingly low-income family living in a tiny bungalow tied to one of the Democratic Party's biggest donors.

The campaign's response came a day after The Wall Street Journal reported on the donations from the Paw family of Daly City, Calif.

The father, William, is a mail carrier, and the mother, Alice, is a homemaker. They live in a one-story green bungalow - yet six Paws have given a combined $45,000 to Clinton's Senate and presidential campaigns in the past two years.

They also ranked up with some of the most affluent addresses elsewhere in the country by giving roughly $200,000 to various Democratic White House hopefuls during that time - and their donations hewed closely to those made by apparel executive Norman Hsu, the Journal reported.

The article insinuates that Hsu gave money to the Paws to donate to get around limits on campaign contributions from individuals.

Hsu and the Paws denied their donations were related.

Hsu is slated to host a Sept. 30 fund-raiser in Northern California for Clinton.

Clinton Reno 9/11

Written by Ann Coulter 

This week, congressional Democrats vowed to investigate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' firing of himself. Gonzales has said he was not involved in the discussions about his firing and that it was "performance-based," but he couldn't recall the specifics.

Right-wingers like me never trusted Gonzales. But watching Hillary Rodham Clinton literally applaud the announcement of Gonzales' resignation on Monday was more than any human being should have to bear. Liberals' hysteria about Gonzales was surpassed only by their hysteria about his predecessor, John Ashcroft. (Also their hysteria about Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Libby, Rice, Barney and so on. They're very excitable, these Democrats.) 

Liberals want to return the office to the glory years of Attorney General Janet Reno!

There is reason to believe Reno is precisely the sort of attorney general that Hillary would nominate, since Reno was widely assumed to be Hillary's pick at the time. As ABC News' Chris Bury reported the day Reno was confirmed: "The search for an attorney general exemplifies Hillary Clinton's circle of influence and its clout. … The attorney general-designate, Janet Reno, came to the president's attention through Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham."

Let's compare attorneys general:

Civilians killed by Ashcroft: 0

Civilians killed by Gonzales: 0

Civilians killed by Reno: 80
