Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was convicted yesterday of making illegal campaign contributions. Earlier this month, Hsu pled guilty to operating a Ponzi scheme in which investors were swindled out of $20 million. Hsu’s favorite politician was Hillary Rodham Clinton, for whom he raised $850,000.
Hillary is Secretary of State. That would seem to invite at least some media attention, if not a full-blown firestorm, but nary a word is heard about Hillary’s ethical suitability for the post.
At the Hsu trial, the jury was played a phone message left by Hillary for Hsu that went like this:
What am I going to do with you, Norman? You are working so hard for me.I just don’t even know what to say anymore. I’ve never seen anybody who has been more loyal and more effective and really just having greater success supporting someone like you.
Hillary says that she did not know that Hsu was a con man or that he was laundering money into her coffers. But even that very weak line of defense doesn’t wash given her previous involvement with scandals involving Asian businessmen and aggressive fundraising.

Surprising of course!
Don’t worry Obama will clip her wings in time!
The verdict was a Hsu-in.
No media is covering this at all. Drudge isn’t even linking this.
If it doesnt embarrass pubbies it wont play.
If it is derogtory to dems it will be spiked.
Your MSM says so.
Hillary has been given a pass with this big time...
No Kidding!!!
