How could the senator's campaign have missed the red flags over Hsu? As Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu confronted an old criminal case and faced a new FBI investigation Friday, a fundamental question persisted: How did Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign fail to see the red flags in Hsu's contributions?
Until this week, Clinton counted Hsu as one of her most prolific money bundlers. He gave her campaign $22,300, regularly appeared as a co-host for major fundraising lunches and dinners, and raised more than $100,000 from his friends for her presidential run.
Obviously, we were all surprised by this news, and we have a procedure that we follow and upon verifying it, we returned his money," Clinton said this week.
When a campaign has attracted more than 500,000 donors, as Clinton's has, there is no way a candidate's staff can check out each contributor. Clinton and her aides said there was little they could have done to protect themselves, but fundraising experts from both parties pointed to warning signs that should have given aides pause.
"If I were raising money for the prohibitive front-runner for president of the United States, I would be very, very careful about who these donors are and do some level of research," said Marty Wilson, a Republican strategist and fundraiser for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and others.

Journalists now finally seem to be interested. I have spoken with several. Hsu had put a fundraising scandal on the table. Many journalists may be shills and political whores, but there will be some who want to do real reporting. We have to find those. When they begin reporting, the Clintonistas can’t just threaten one or a few. It will spin out of Hillary’s control. The Queen has been wounded.
“When a campaign has attracted more than 500,000 donors, as Clinton’s has, there is no way a candidate’s staff can check out each contributor”
And we’re all sure the LA Slimes would give the same pass to any Republican in a similar situation.
It’s part of a long pattern of corrupt Clinton practices.
As we remember some of the folks involved in the Clinton funny money frolics, here is a quick sketch of Gene and Nora Lum who were among the first players:

No different from Bubba’s apology about Monica:
“I’m sorry” (I’m sorry I got caught).
I’ll try to un-do it and we can just go on from there, ok, ya know? Ya know? Ya know? Ya know? Ya know?
I hope this blows up in Pelosi’s tightly botoxed face.
