Hey Hillary, what’s that big mark on your ear? It looks like $950,000 for a school that your favorite fundraiser just happens to have been a board member of. And in the case of the New School in Greenwich Village, it turned out to have some national resonance: Norman Hsu, a major Democratic donor active in Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign and a New School trustee, was found to be a fugitive who had skipped out after a felony theft conviction in California 15 years ago. Here’s the bill, S.1710. It’s the Labor/HHS/Education spending bill that’s being debated in the Senate right now. Do a search on “Clinton” a whole bunch of times (she has quite a few line items in this bill, $500k here, $250k there, $1.5 million over there) and you’ll eventually land at this earmark.
That’s $950k for the New School’s Institute for Urban Education, sponsored by Hillary and Sen. Chuck Schumer. Did Hsu’s many and varied bundles of campaign cash joy have any influence on making that generous earmark happen? Beats me. There sure is the appearance of a connection, though. I’m reminded of this fun quote of her husband’s from a 1997 press conference. I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution. “…any evidence of the fact that I have changed government policy solely because of a contribution…” Yup. That’s how the Clintons roll, isn’t it.
I trust the Freepers noted earlier that Hillary's earmark to build the Woodstock memorial was killed.
Let's put some sunshine on this outpost of leftist education aka the New School and get this earmark clipped
WOW!! Hillary’s quite the PORKER!!! $950,000 of OUR MONEY to New School in New York.....home base of CHINESE MONEY LAUNDERER Norman Hsu and Bernard Schwartz being on the board also!! WOW....what a gig.....what a CRIME Hillary and Schumer are doing to us.
Plus, a BTTT.
My experience with people who go there is that NS is where people go when they are too radically Communist to go anywhere else. In my college days I went to a student meeting there, and after hearing people address each other as "Comrade", decided I wasn't in Kansas anymore
The sarcastic side of me says”Yeah, but it was for the children”.
But, the serious side of me wants to know, how a CONVICTED and WANTED FELON gets to be a school trustee...
No, tell me it isn’t so!!
She just keeps on going and going and going and going.
New School is a RAT’s nest all the way. In addition to HSU don’t forget about Bernie Scwartz (Loral) of the chinese missle technology secrets -—giveaway fame. He is a really big Clinton donor and good Bubba bud. He is still on the New School board (although he should be in a cell next to HSU).
Yeah, I use those batteries too. They last a long time, but EVENTUALLY, they do run out. Hopefully, so will Hillary's luck, maybe in the PP case deposition!
I agree, something has to knock her down. There’s just too much. Surely everyone is not afraid of her. If everyone who was afraid of her-including the media -would expose her for what she is, she would become powerless and probably end up in jail. The tide will turn. I’m confident of it.

Don’t forget the president is former US Senator, and oh yeah, the 9/11 Commission white water, er, wash member, Bob Kerrey.
I heard, too, that poor people in Chinatown are raising tons of money for her election. It seems that many of them are being told to by ‘associations’—Chinese mafia maybe? After all, the Clintons were a crime family in Arkansas.
