Hillary to return $850,000 in Hsu cash
And pledges to start doing “background checks” on donors:
WASHINGTON – Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign said Monday it will return $850,000 in donations raised by Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, who is under federal investigation for allegedly violating election laws.
Clinton, D-N.Y., previously had planned only to give to charity $23,000 she received from Hsu for her presidential and senatorial campaigns and to her political action committee, HillPac.
The FBI is investigating whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates, a law enforcement official said Monday.
“In light of recent events and allegations that Mr. Norman Hsu engaged in an illegal investment scheme, we have decided out of an abundance of caution to return the money he raised for our campaign,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a statement Monday night. “An estimated 260 donors this week will receive refunds totaling approximately $850,000 from the campaign.”
Wolfson said the Clinton campaign also will vigorously review its fundraisers, including thorough criminal background checks, in the future. “In any instances where a source of a bundler’s income is in question, the campaign will take affirmative steps to verify its origin,” he said.
Surrre they will! Just as soon as the media breaks a story about it. Then they’ll get right on it!

She ain’t givin back jack and the press wouldn’t cover it anyway so it really doesn’t matter what she does.
But let a Republican take a nickle from anyone who knows Abrahoff or whatever his name is, well its FRONT PAGE NEWS IN BOLD PRINT.
TOTAL HIPOCRICY from the msm.
Nonsense, Hillary doesn’t mind returning this money at all. After all, there are plenty of other illegal campaign contributions for her to take that the media knows nothing about….nor do they want to know.
Need a parody on this…..
If the Hsu fits….
Hillary has what every woman wants, a closet full of Hsu’s….
Checking Hillary’s closet, it was found full of Hsu’s, nothing to see there, move on please…..
- Well you have to admit its fun pillering Hillary, while we all wait for the other Hsu’s to drop…..
- Me, I’ll just bask in the glow of the massive colateral damage the Dems visited on themselves, via the crazy Bat-wings NYT ad, and total meltdown in yesterdays hearings.

I guess Hsu doesn’t get to spend the night in the “Rincoln” bedroom.
HAHAHA!!! Come on guys, aren’t you all being abit hard on poor Hillary?? I mean can we truly judge her unless we have walked a mile in her Hsu???
I think we should have a new battle cry. Instead of “Remember the Alamo” we should be saying “Remember Los Alamos”!!! It is the Clinton’s that helped make China a technologically advanced world power, and we should never forget that. Apparently Hillary is just going to follow in Bill’s Hsu.

Report has it that Hillary has stepped out of her Blue Suede Hsu’s.
” It’s The New Hsu reveue…Coming Right At You. “
I’ll bet we can find this guy in the”Who’s Hsu”, list of corrupt donors to democrats.
- Hillary and the Democrats are just throwing Norman away like an old Hsu…..
(You gals/guys better watch out…..I have a pun and I’m not afraid to use it!)
- BBH –
LOL – you’re on a roll, FT
- The Chinese have discovered a new space object they say is destined to crash into a Hillary soon….they’ve named it Comet Hsumaker….
- BBH –
- They’ve also redone an old Chinese delicacy, and dedicated it to Hillery’s Presidential campaign. They’ve added 875,000 secret ingredients, but kept the old name….”Moo-Hsu-Pork”…..
- BBH –
Wasn’t there an old song like this? Hsu fly don’t bother me…
- “…..Hillery’s campaign donations director said that “[in order] to avoid any future situations of this nature the Campaign office with institute additional comprehensive vetting of the backgrounds of all donors.”
- All together now: PROFILISTS!!!!
- BBH –
Hillary was overheard singing the Men At Work classic, ” Hsu Can It Be Now” whilst signing the 850 k refund check.
Now we know where Hillary got the money for all of those pant Hsuits.
Phil Collins was quite prophetic regarding this man in his hit song….HsuHsudio.
” You no likey that I criminaw ? Hsu me !”
Argh! Make it stop, please make it stop!!!
Leave it to our “unbiased” media to charge to the rescue of Clinton. We should have known they would find a positive way to spin it. Notice the headline:
Clinton returns money, sets precedent
Priceless!!!!
- Hillery’s campaign theme song….
“Stay away from run-around Hsu”
(Apologies, and an alka seltzer for Sev)
- BBH -
Enough…I’ve heard enough!! Someone just hsuut me!!
- NC – At this point theres no way in hell they can deney the facts, so they’re taking a “spin” approach of….”Well everyones doing it and guilty, but gee whiz golly, Hillery alone is the brave trooper and stand up gal, and is leading the pack on principle immediately returning all the tainted funds, (tainted, but certainly through no fault of her own), and not only that, but they will be “vetting” everyone from now on.
- I’d wait for the caveat, both because its blatant profiling, (‘dya ever notice how things become immediately respectable no matter what it is, as soon as its a Democrat that needs to use it), and because they’ll probably put some high threshold on the cutoff line. Asking someone to submit to a background check just to contribute $25 dollars is riff with potential problems. Which means nothing will actually change. The weasels will just gather more proxies to spread it out more. No big.
