"Hsuicide" note fingers Obama

Yesterday, the WSJ reported that Norman Hsu, prominent fundraiser for embattled Dem frontrunner, Hillary Rodham Clinton, had apparently Fed-Exed a suicide not to several people and organizations just after jumping bail.

Today’s twist in the Hillary Clinton-Norman Hsu scandal is provided by the LA Times.

On the day he disappeared, Norman Hsu, the disgraced fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, sent letters to friends that recipients viewed as a suicide note, people familiar with the letter have said.

In his letter, Hsu apologized for any embarrassment he had caused recipients of his largesse. In the last four years, he has generated donations of more than $1 million for Democratic politicians across the country.

Hsu’s undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted “by a politician who pledged ‘hope and change’ ” — an apparent reference to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Senator Gravitas’ campaign may indeed have had no knowledge of Hsu’s past criminal behavior. But, they are certainly familiar with this type of scam, having characterized it in such a catchy, sound-bite worthy manner.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

If Obama got this stuff out there, good for him. My guess is that it would more likely be his wife. It’s a cinch it wasn’t the Breck Girl.

If true, then O'bama did something right!

Exposing Clintonitis is everybody's duty!

I'm skeptical, though. Hsu doesn't exactly have a good track record.

“Hsuicide” - an early form of “Arkancide”?

[saganite]

Hmm. Playing dirty over on the Dem side! Looks like some Clinton operatives are trying to deflect some of the attention on to the Obama campaign.

[grandpa jones]

Yup. They're starting to throw some elbows.

Popcorn?

Good post. Thanks.

PAUL POTTS SINGS NORMAN HSU!

[grandpa jones]

I wonder if the postmark on the envelope was "Ft. Marcy Park?"

Heh™

If Obama’s campaign did it, fine.

But it doesn’t matter WHO exposed this dirty money, it reflects very badly on Hillary!. Blaming Obama does NOT reduce her culpability, and she should NOT be allowed to use that as a distraction.

[Fitzcarraldo]

the plot sickens

[McGruff]

Gonna have to get a new recliner and a case of beer. This is going to be fun to see them bloody each other while we prepare for the final battle.

Yeah, she’ll pick some governor from the NE OR NW. IF she gets the nod.

Personally I hope they decide she’s too radioactive.

[Bitsy]

So much for the Clinton/Obama ticket.

Heck with the ticket. I’m waiting with anticipation the cat fight to ensue between Bamma’s wife and Hitlery. Wouldn’t that be something to see!!!!

I would love to see the trace on that letter from FedEx to see when it was sent and from what office. Then try to put Hsu in that office. My guess is he did not send it but the person who was helping him commit Hsuicide did.
