According to investigative blogger Flip Pidot (suitablyflip.com), who delved into public records and crunched the numbers, Clinton took the lion's share of political cash ($174,000) from Hsu and his network of suspected donor-bundlers whose campaign checks dwarfed their income. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and New York Governor (and former Attorney General) Eliot Spitzer accepted the largest sums of direct cash from Hsu. ($60,100 each)
Reports Pidot: "Among state parties, campaign committees, and advocacy groups, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee topped the list, with $122,000, though three state Democratic parties or committees (Tennessee, New York, and New Jersey) took more from Hsu directly. Of the 32 organizations that took money from Hsu and his associates, 10 were state Democratic parties and several others were Democratic campaign committees. The 84 individuals who received money from Hsu and his associates included 17 Gubernatorial candidates, 17 Congressional candidates, 27 Senatorial candidates, and a variety of statewide and local candidates. All were Democrats, with the exception of Tom Gallagher, Florida's former CFO and an unsuccessful primary challenger to Charlie Crist in the 2006 Governor race. Including candidate-specific PACs, these individuals have taken just over $1 million from Hsu's group since the 2004 cycle. . . . Another 22 organizations received support from Hsu's network since 2004, primarily Democratic campaign committees and state Democratic parties."

“But But Larry Craig was in a bathroom with a wide stance”. Nothing to see here move along!
MSM is going to go to hell with Hildusa! No matter how much wrong doing she is involved with! Joseph Geobbels could have won the war for Hitler with a media like ours!
The commies knew that ‘donating’ to the Democrats was more effective than old-fashion espionage...
bump
Probably cheaper, too. Look what they got from the Clintons last time around.
NY ping?
thanks, bfl
Not one word in The Post-Star. Anything in the Times Union or Gazette, etc.?
Feel free to copy/email it to all the outlets you can find - I have...
Especially all the RINOS in the senate, and a couple of good repubs in the assembly
Oh.. in other words... “no”.
It's a different title, but the same OpEd column. They were pinged to that one from another thread when I combined lists for noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. You asked me not to include you for those, so you're at the end of the NY list and didn't get it.
We need to flood the MSM with demands that they cover this DEMOCRATIC SCANDAL as aggressively as they would if it were Republicans. And I do mean FLOOD them.
What’s killing me is the dead silence in the NY press - I sent another version to the reporter (Justin Moss) at WBNG that took the trashing by spitzer yesterday - and dead silence also.
‘Tis a sad state of affairs here in the Empire State.
I was looking through the list of all of Hsu’s donors and saw those two, Spitzer and Cuomo, stick out like a sore thumb. It amazes me that this state doesn’t see out-of-state special interests (not to mention the unions) as the problem.
never seen such a bunch of presstitute “Chicken $h1ts” in my life.
Over 1 million (in illegal foreign-supplied money) - ALL to democrats.
And the media ignores.
The “right-wing” talk show hosts today “only” announced Hillary got $42,000.00 = Easy-to-ignore chump change.
I know tomorrow is going to be busy day.
Have a good one.
Thanks. It should be interesting.
