Hsu Who?

Short article from the AP:

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted Norman Hsu, a top Democratic fundraiser accused of cheating investors of at least $20 million and using some of the money to make illegal donations to political campaigns.

In the 15-count indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the government accused the 56-year-old clothing-industry entrepreneur of duping investors nationwide with a massive Ponzi scheme.

The government said Hsu also violated federal campaign finance laws by making contributions to various political candidates in the names of others.

The "various political candidates" had one thing in common... they were all Democrats, including candidates named Clinton.

But of course the AP doesn't consider that to be relevant.

Imagine if Hsu had contributed to, say, the Romney campaign. Do ya think maybe the AP would have discovered that the name of the candidate was relevant in that case?

And the hypocrisy goes on...
