Hillary Clinton Expresses Surprise at Big Money Donor's Wanted Status
Thursday , August 30, 2007
Sen. Hillary Clinton distanced herself Thursday from a leading contributor to her presidential campaign after learning that the donor is a fugitive from the law.
Clinton, appearing at a child care event with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, said she was as shocked as anyone to learn that Norman Hsu is wanted in California for not showing up to a 1991 sentencing hearing relating to a grand theft plea deal.
"I wish Mr. Hsu well in dealing with the problems he's confronting," Clinton told reporters. "You're free to check with my campaign about how we vet people, but I think it's fair to say we were all very surprised by this."
Spitzer too came to Clinton's defense, saying she can't be expected to know the courtroom status of each of her donors.
"She has had hundreds of thousands of donors," said the governor, who is facing his own legal questions over campaign financing. "Come on, guys, let's get real."
Hsu, an apparel executive who never contributed any money to political campaigns before 2004, reportedly has raised more than $1 million for Democrats and is listed as one of the top 20 Democratic fundraisers in the country.

She is shocked, shocked I tell you monsieur!
LOL. Typical...she wishes a criminal well.
But this guy was admittedly at the top of the pile....not like some old granny sending in her $5 bucks.
To Spitzer: Get Real!
Oh yeah, that's right....Dems can't deal in reality. Only criminality so it seems.
New Clinton, same as the Old Clinton.....
She’s ‘surprised’...LMAO! All the makings of the usual Clinton scandals of the past. Those were the days......
Something about this statement is so bittersweet.
How many of those hundreds has she taken photos with?
They know how to tap dance.
And, no doubt, there will be more ahead!!!
First there were stains on the blue dress, now there are stains on the Hsu!
Norman Hsu when reached for comment said, “Pardon me.”
Professional courtesy, don-cha-know... ;-)
And when asked later about her feigned surprise (after evidence reveals that she actually knew), she'll say "I'm sorry, I don't recall..."
In addition to this corrupt incident, Hitlery cleaverly acted surprised at the murder of Vince Foster not to mention the others among their long list of “room temperature” associates. She arrogantly thinks the American people are mindless and can’t add two and two. IMO, Tubba and Bubba are at the top of the list of corrupt and evil politicians today. The MSM won’t expose or investigate them so it’s up to the American people to get to the truth.
And she didn’t know about Monica until she heard about it on the news....
AND, she didn’t know where those billing records were, and she made $100K in cattles futures but has not done so since...and on and on and on...
What kind of a dolt would you have to be to believe this bovine excrement?
"I've done nothing wrong and I vow to never do it again. Mr. Hsu can rest assured that should he return to this Country on my last day in the White House (with cash) there is a full and unconditional Presidential pardon in his future. That's the way we do, aight?"
"In light of the new information regarding Mr. Hsu's outstanding warrant in California, we will be giving his contributions to charity," spokesman Phil Singer told FOX News."
$23K out of how much? And what charity do they plan on giving it to?
Maybe the Clinton Global Initiative?
Oh. Wait. Page 21. Norman Hsu is already a donor there. Hmmm...
