Hsu letter appeared to be suicide note

By Dan Morain, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

September 13, 2007

On the day he disappeared, Norman Hsu, the disgraced fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, sent letters to friends that recipients viewed as a suicide note, people familiar with the letter have said.

In his letter, Hsu apologized for any embarrassment he had caused recipients of his largesse. In the last four years, he has generated donations of more than $1 million for Democratic politicians across the country.

Hsu's undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted "by a politician who pledged 'hope and change' " -- an apparent reference to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.

If Obama had the guts to really do this, I have new respect for him. It was more likely his wife.

Did you hear Rush today - he mentioned my “connected dots” from Hsu to hillary to Rosemann, to her earmarks for the “woodstock hippy museum”

I read somewhere that this was a typed suicide note. Suspicious, to say the least.

I knew the cultural shame issue would be played. This thing is being orchestrated, but it’s not clear who is doing the orchestrating. I always figured that Hillary and Obama would plan out a strategy that would allow them to bash each other, then kiss and make up after Hillary gets elected. This letter is being played as a suicide note, but frankly, I won’t believe any of it until I see it. Maybe not even then.

What should be investigated but has not received its due in any publications I've read:

Who helped Hsu skip two hearings, without surrendering his passport? Who helped Hsu get a sleeper on the train out of Oakland (they always have a long waiting list and must be reserved weeks in advance)? From whom did Hsu get his abundant money?

Fort Marcy Park is a lovely place for a suicide.

I’ll believe it’s a suicide note if it has been torn into little pieces, and the signature is missing.

Hsu is fortunate he didn’t think to shoot himself with a gun that magically vanishes, drive himself to a park, walk around a bit, lay down and die.

yup , ... I said at the onset ( I’ll look for one of my 1st “Ol’ Norm” posts )...

I said something to the effect , “this appears/feels too easy” , .. btw , anybody else looking for Action Away From The Ball {{ like in basketball }}

I just feel like we’re being led a bit too much , .. and the MSM is trying not to step on some toes , while dancing with a “partner” who is leading , .. and not gracefully
