ABC Again Refuses to Cover Hsu
CBS and NBC on Thursday night aired brief updates on how the Justice Department filed a criminal complaint against Norman Hsu, the captured fugitive Democratic/Hillary Clinton campaign donor, for bilking $60 million from investors -- but ABC was once again absent on the story. ABC's World News hasn't uttered Hsu's name since its one and only story the Friday night of Labor Day weekend while Thursday's mention was the fifth for NBC and fourth for CBS.

And The HSU Beat Goes On

HILL BILL FOOTED BY HSU
VEGAS VICTORY BASH
Members of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign staff got a nice payoff last year for their work to get her re-elected - a trip to Las Vegas funded by her fugitive former fund-raiser.

The red-faced Clinton camp insists there was nothing illegal about the trip, according to the article, and stressed that Hsu never received any legislative favors in return for his generosity. I Don't Remember * Paul Shanklin Parody

Norman Hsu Gave to Kennedy, Kerry, Obama
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made headlines when her presidential campaign said it would return $850,000 in donations raised by disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, and give the $23,000 she received directly from Hsu to charity.

But the list of politicians who benefited from Hsu’s largesse reads like a "Who’s Who" of the Democratic Party.

Hsu is under federal investigation for allegedly violating election laws. The FBI is probing whether Hsu paid so-called straw donors to send campaign contributions to Clinton and other candidates.

A list of politicians who received money from Hsu, published in the Wall Street Journal, includes these prominent Democrats in addition to Hillary:

Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry

Minnesota Senatorial candidate Al Franken

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson

West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein

Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy

Former Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford

Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid

Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin

New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell

California Sen. Barbara Boxer

Since 2004, Hsu has donated $260,000 to Democratic Party groups and federal candidates, and raised hundreds of thousands of additional dollars. He was regarded as a top party fundraiser until reports surfaced recently that he was wanted on a warrant in California in connection with a 1991 grand theft charge, and he was arrested on Sept. 12.
