Governor is giving away money he got from fundraiser...Hsu...

**************************EXCERPT***********************

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Another Democrat is giving to charity the money he got from a disgraced fundraiser.

The announcement from Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell comes a day after the fundraiser, Norman Hsu, skipped a bail hearing, prompting a judge in California to issue a new warrant for his arrest.

Last week, Rendell had said he planned to keep the nearly $40,000 he got from Hsu who was already wanted for failing to appear for sentencing on a 1991 grand theft charge. Rendell said he would return the money if prosecutors won a "sustainable conviction" in the case.

He now says although Hsu is still a friend of his, his "failure to appear casts a new light" on the original case. So, he's giving the donations to charity.

What charities are all these Dim politicians giving Hsu’s money to? Planned Parenthood? ACORN? National Resources Defense Council? MoveOn? Enquiring minds would like to know.

can anyone verify what charity, if any other than the Slimy Eddie Foundation, Fast Eddie actually donated the $40,000 too.And Eddie still counts Hsu as a good friend! It’s Slimy Eddie as far as I am concerned anymore.

Someone needs to check carefully that the money actually is given up. The ‘rats have a history of promising to do that and forgetting to.
