Disgraced Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu, who was wanted by California authorities for the last 15 years, is once again on the lam, putting Gov. Rendell, a staunch supporter, in an increasingly awkward political corner.
And for now, Rendell isn't saying whether he will reverse his decision and return nearly $38,000 in contributions from Hsu or continue to stand by the man he recently called "one of the best 10 people I've met."
Press secretary Chuck Ardo said the governor had no immediate comment on Hsu's disappearance.
"The governor will respond to today's events after having time to review them," Ardo said, adding only that Rendell likely would address the matter sometime today.
Hsu, who had raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for top Democratic candidates nationwide, including presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, failed to appear yesterday morning at a bail-reduction hearing in a California courtroom.
San Mateo Superior Court Judge Robert Foiles ordered Hsu's $2 million bail forfeited and issued a new arrest warrant. If Hsu is arrested again, he will be jailed without bail.

Another hit by the Clintons.................
Don’t know if this has been addressed yet?
Why did the judge not have his pasport taken away/
Who promoted this judge? Was it Clinton?
Three possible outcomes. 1. He will never be found. 2. He will be found dead, reported as a “suicide” (arkancide). 3. He’ll turn up in a country with no extradition treaty with the US, living the high life (as long as he keeps his mouth shut).
That's what Foiles should have done the first time.
Number 2 is most likely... and the GOP needs to get on the investigation band wagon now.
Don’t count on that. The GOP couldn’t find its backside with either hand.
What did this guy do- search around for the worst possible s**bags to support? Hillary, Rendell, Obama, Patrick Kennedy, et al. And 50 cents to the reporter who asks one of these turds why the Chinese are such avid supporters of Democrats.
In a word, yes. He looked for people he knew would sell out the US to his handlers in China. For example, all the Clintons had to do in exchange for his (i.e., China's) massive campaign contributions was hand over our most sophisticated nuclear weapons technology to China.
I also want to know why Hsu gave $10,000 to the Philadelphia Democratic Party. Party boss Bob Brady told the Inquirer he had never heard of the guy. Hsu also gave thousands to Bob Casey, Joe Sestak, and Patrick Murphy. Sestak was specifically recruited to run for Congress by the Clintons to get rid of Curt Weldon and stop his investigations of Able Danger. It sure looks to me like Rendell was working hand in glove with the Clintons to funnel illegal cash into these campaigns and get rid of troublesome Republicans who might have dirt on the Clintons that could hurt Hillary.
BTW, that’s not hyperbole: http://www.jonathanpollard.org/1999/031599f.htm
God, I hope this has legs ... we lost a good Senator and got a ghost in replacement.
btw ... I'm in SW Pa.
Yup. Looks like the Clintons got softer in their old age. In the Clinton's earlier days, these Republicans all would have just "committed suicide." In the Clinton's later days, they just accepted and/or funneled massive amounts of illegal Chinese campaign funds to opponents of those Republicans.
Vote People's Party of China, Vote Democrat!
4. Mark Rich's new Chinese houseboy.
I'd bet Rove made him a deal he couldn't refuse. He's probably on an indefinite expense-paid vacation in some tropical country paid for by Karl Rove. Having him turn himself in and then skip the country is one of the best things that could happen to really make this scandal hurt some major Democrats.
He will come out smelling like roses, perfumed by the MSM.
It’s all par for the Democrats.
Check this...
#2, and #3 on the list were Elliot Spitzer and Andrew Cuomo...
Go figure...
The Inquirer is in the catbird seat for this story if they want it. No governor can afford to be unresponsive to local media.
