The Hsu story is sprouting long, long legs, in millipede numbers, and Bryan has the details.
Maybe I misunderestimated it.

This is a scandal that just keeps on giving.

Hey, it isn’t every day the bag man for the Peoples’ Republic of China gets caught red-handed, so to speak.
You should rename this post: “A Reaaaaaally Big Hsu.”

I think most people have reached Hsu-pun saturation.

This is just a comment to Dan’s post today – too many links to get through the spam filter I guess.
NPR gave the arrest 31 seconds:
Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu has been arrested, after failing to appear at a scheduled court hearing Wednesday…

Oh. Ok that’s the last one then.

Yeah, Dan, it just goes to show that you’re as subject to hypnotism by the Press as anyone else. They’re gonna downplay it, relegating it to the back pages and the three-second clips at the end, with maximum use of the sympathy stops and, where necessary, Wide Eyed Amazement™ that the wingnuts — sympathetic to business! — should be so strongly on the case of a poor unlucky small businessman.
Flatly: This is THE STORY of the decade, possibly of the first half of this century, because we might just possibly get an answer to a question that is very important: who is financing the Democratic Party nutcase left? And we will never know unless the right-blogosphere keeps on it, because everybody from Pinch to the janitor at the Orange County Register knows that it might cast doubt on the Sanctity of Saint Billary — and that’s not only heretical on its face, it’s bloody f*ing dangerous.
Regards,
Ric

And George Soros pays a $700,000 fine for illegally funnelling $130 million-plus to Democrats. Hell, it’s just a cost-a doing business.
Tell me again why we had campaign finance reform, Senator McCain?
Comment by Dan Collins on 9/9 @ 2:17 pm #
Ric, I might agree that it is the domestic story of the decade. The thing is, if it gets juicy enough, there’s the possibility that it might transcend party affiliation in the interest of the bottom line. Where that critical mass is, I can’t say, but I expect that the blogosphere willl play a significant role in reaching that point, if they don’t want to appear to have been scooped.

We could always move on to Winkle Paw.
What the hell kind of name is Winkle Paw, anyway?

Wait — Hillary’s taking money from gay Teletubbies?

Did I hear someone say ‘transcend party affiliation’?
In what universe?
Comment by JD on 9/9 @ 6:46 pm #
I may have missed it, but until Hillary starts getting real heat on this from Obama, Edwards, Reid, and Pelosi, the media will just continue to ignore this. You all know that is simply the way it will be. Unless something within the Dems pushes this forward, it will never be reported on breathlessly, like all of the other pseudo scandals that they they try to hang around the necks of Republicans.
Comment by mojo on 9/9 @ 9:46 pm #
I have a little list (of questions):
1)Is it true that the FBI called the hospital to tell them Hsu was a fugitive and they’d be right over to collect him?
2)If so, did they know because he had a tail?
2a)Where did the tail pick him up?
3)Why wasn’t he simply arrested by the FBI when it became clear he was a fugitive? Why was he allowed to fly to SF by private jet to turn himself in?
4)Who made the call to allow a 15-year fugitive bail AT ALL?
4a)Who made the call to let him “bring his passport in later”?
5)Why did he go all goofy on the train? Drunk? Nervous? Drugged?
and we’re not even into the financials yet…
