Hsu me

Posted on | September 12, 2007 | No Comments

The Norman Hsu campaign finance scandal gets better by the day. Not only is there something funny going on in his raising money through various apparent fronts for Hillary Clinton, but he may have taken in those modern-day wizards of finance, private-equity fund managers! Gosh! I thought those guys were brilliant! They’re changing the face of American corporations and corporate governance, aren’t they? They MUST be smart! Jesus, if they’re getting hoodwinked then maybe, maybe….

Oh, it’s too awful to contemplate.

    Who falls for the classic Ponzi scheme anymore? Thanks for another informative post B.

    Let’s talk about Hsu’s intelligence or lack thereof, too. He wants to make a quick getaway from the courts and realizes the airports are monitored, so he chooses… AMTRAK??!! And gets busted in Grand Junction, Colorado??!!! It’s just too juicy for words.

    As the great Journalist, H.L. Mencken said…
    “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.”

    To Loring’s point, there is some weird shit going on here. Hsu is going down…. why?
    Sure he was outed in the Wall Street Journal (no friend to liberals) and someone’s (surprise!) got it out for Hillary, but this guy seems like such a fantastic numbskull that he has to be a front for something.

    I missed the Morning Edition feature this morning that was supposed to go over his specific indictments, but a brief piece on All Things Considered last night had a funny recap of his Colorado adventure: He was wedged inside a private car on the train, incoherent with pills spilling all over, and a fellow passenger finally alerted train officials. As they tried to pick him up and gain some sense from him, he kept repeating, “Am I in jail? Am I in jail?” The ticket guy said, “You’re not in jail, you’re in Colorado!” There’s something profound hidden there.

    We’re sending him back California way today, he’s been in Colorado TOOOO long. We stuck a fork in him, he’s done.
