Hsu tappin’ and fancy dancin’

There’s a truth-boatload of interesting headlines that have made their way into the national discourse involving the beleaguered junior senator from NY……………………………………

Team Clinton can’t explain away warnings on Hsu

Hillary Clinton’s campaign couldn’t explain yesterday why it blew off warnings about felon-turned-fund-raiser Norman Hsu - and the Daily News learned FBI agents are collecting e-mail evidence in the widening scandal.

Hill Shill Claimed Hsu Was A Legit Fit

“I can tell you with 100 [sic] certainty that Norman Hsu is NOT involved in a ponzi scheme,” wrote Samantha Wolf, an official involved in fund-raising from the Western U.S., in an e-mail in June after she was approached about the possibility that Hsu’s financial dealings were shady, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“He is COMPLETELY legit,” she added of Hsu.

Rival says Clinton turned blind eye to Hsu’s past

Hillary Clinton’s links to illegal fundraising by Asian-Americans in 1996 should have made her wary of accepting $850,000 from a fugitive Asian-American this year, a rival presidential campaign said Tuesday.
The criticism came from an adviser to former Republican Sen. Fred Thompson, who chaired a Senate investigation into illegal contributions by Asian-Americans to Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign and the couple’s legal defense fund in the 1996 election cycle.

For Clintons, an Unwelcome Echo

Talk about déjà vu. Pressed by questions about a scandal-tarred fundraiser, a candidate named Clinton decides to return hundreds of thousands of dollars. The politician’s operation promises to conduct criminal background checks on big fundraisers in the future. And it leaks its decisions at night after a busy day in hopes of burying the news and minimizing the damage.

Woodstock connection?

Where did Hsu get his money?
New documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal may help point to an answer: A company controlled by Mr. Hsu recently received $40 million from a Madison Avenue investment fund run by Joel Rosenman, who was one of the creators of the Woodstock rock festival in 1969. That money, Mr. Rosenman told investors this week, is missing.

Clinton sees fear realized

Of all the possible vulnerabilities facing Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, Mrs. Clinton has long believed that the one of the biggest was money, friends and advisers say. Some sort of fund-raising scandal that would echo the Clinton-era controversies of the 1990s and make her appear greedy or ethically challenged.

The Hsu keeps dropping

When the Clinton campaign announced on Monday night that it was returning the $850,000 Norman Hsu had raised, it appeared that the story was over, right? Well, not quite… The New York Times reports today that the Clinton campaign, per an adviser, will try to get most of the money back — if it came from the donors’ own bank accounts, and not from Hsu or another source.

    Henh.
    She does have her defenders, though. It appears the NYSlimes may be getting ready to dump her over board, but no the WaPo, and certainly not this guy with AP.

    WASHINGTON –In returning $850,000 to donors associated with a disgraced fundraiser, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton sets a significant new standard for how campaigns should respond in the face of potential scandal.
    Standards, yeah that’s what she is doing alright, setting new standards. The lower, the greater the record.
