Hillary Clinton fundraiser and recently-captured fugitive from justice Norman Hsu is STILL listed as a major "HillRaiser" on Hillary Clinton's campaign Web site, reports blogger Flip Pidot:
While Clinton has pledged to turn over some of this money (only Hsu's direct contributions, representing roughly 13% of her total haul from Hsu's network) and has professed bewilderment at the man's colorful legal history and recent behavior, she hasn't yet taken the one very easy (and admittedly fairly meaningless, but nonetheless advisable) step of removing Hsu from her list of vaunted HillRaisers.
At least she hadn't as of 2:50 pm on September 6th. What gives? If Hsu turns himself in (again) and heads off to prison, is that sufficient contrition for Clinton to welcome him back into the fold? Is this failure to fully sever Mr. Hsu from the campaign deliberate or just careless (and mildly comical)?
There's your screenshot for posterity. Let's see how long it takes for Team Hillary to rectify.
Update: 8 pm Thursday: Hsu still a HillRaiser.
Update: 9:30 am Friday: Hsu still a HillRaiser.
Update: 3 pm Friday: Hsu still a HillRaiser.
The Clinton campaign vowed to take Hsu's money and give it to charity, yet his name remains on a list of proud Hillary backers. Oversight or not, it's an embarrassing Web gaffe suitable for mainstream media reporting. But then this is a Clinton, and it's a fundraising scandal. Can you hear that collective YAWN from the MSM?

Still there
September 7, 2007 - 16:13 ET by c5thenJust checked and as of 5:00pm on September 07, 2007, Norman Hsu is prominently displayed on her fund raising heros page.
This is after he was apprehended in Colorado today fleeing from justice yet AGAIN!
It says alot about her character that Hillary is only giving back the money that anyone can prove that Hsu donated personally. The money that came from untracable sources is still good to the Hillary. This is the person that so many in the democratic party want to lead our nation?
The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic
When will the media catch
September 7, 2007 - 16:18 ET by bigtimerWhen will the media catch on?
They have.
They have an agenda.
Look the other way if the critters getting the illegal $$$$ have a 'D' behind their names.
Period.

September 7, 2007 - 16:49 ET by ThisnThatOnly a newspaper grinch with a heart two sizes too small will descend into Hillary's Huville and steal her campain contributions. After all, who would want to prevent Christmas from coming in Hillary's Huville? Who, I ask you, Hu?
All you heartless creatures. Should be ashamed. You're a mean one, you are.
P.S., left off the "s" in Hsu for Savings.

September 7, 2007 - 19:04 ET by Felicity RandShe Who Shall Not Be Named has always gotten away with her lies and shady deals.
This flaunting of his name on her website says "so what if he's a criminal, nothing will stick to me."
I think her lies will someday trap her in hole she can't get out of. Like a criminal who continually skirts the law, she will become increasingly arrogant and sloppy. That said, I'm not too confident the media will even cover that.

A letter between friends Hillary and Hsu
September 7, 2007 - 20:00 ET by Lame CherryDear Honorable Hillary,
As you know when you took hundreds of thousands of Hsu dollars we became best of friends. My PLA buddies just love to give to our good friends Bill and Hillary.
A slight problem has arise my good friend. Somehow I have become a criminal. My PLA buddies will not let me come home....well perhaps let me come home but I will fall victim to fatal suicide I am told and Norman no like to die with Swiss Bank account full.
I tell you what good buddy. You be my friend and I be your friend and all secret recordings of bribes I give you end up not in special prosecutor's hands. We be good friends and you keep me as number one chinaman on your good buddy site. Then when you become president you give me big pardon like Marc Rich and we all live happy ever after in lotus blossom land.
Our secret code will be you keep me on your site and I be hush hush.
Your good friend Norman Hsu
PS: I like peking duck and not bejing duck on Saturday. Please see jail serve me.

September 7, 2007 - 21:02 ET by dahliatraversSo in order to make up the Hsu contributions she had to divest, it looks like Hillary is selling the stuff she and Bill stole on their way out of the White House. (Wonder how much she could get for all those "W"'s?)
