"NEW YORK – Longtime fundraiser Norman Hsu was convicted Tuesday of violating campaign finance laws in a case that became an embarrassment to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats he courted..."

As usual, if this were dealing with the other party...this would be leading the evening news and headlining the papers. I do recall a certain Abramoff getting this type of recognition. Even though he had ties to both sides, the MSM seemed to continually attach Republican to his name. This was a major fund raiser within the Democrat party and all we get is a bunch of crickets chirping.
But...what else is new?

He was more Hellery's bag man than Obamas though. Since she wasnt elected, the press doesnt really care.

i'm sure all politicians, regardless of party, have taken funds, knowingly or unknowingly from corrupt ppl.

even honest taxpayers give money to corrupt elected officials or mismanaging CEO's and executives.

everyone's got a hand, direct or indirect, with corrupt money.

our money goes to buy products from sweatshops all the time.
