Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Bad news for the Democrats: Their favorite fund-raising felon has been found. And now that Norman Hsu has been nabbed in Colorado, where he was once again trying to flee authorities, there are a lot of unanswered questions about the source of all the money Democrats pulled out of their Hsu in recent years - huge amounts of campaign donations despite the lack of evidence that Hsu had any real, legitimate, source of major income.

While some Democrats are scrambling to give back, or give to charity, the money they got from Hsu, others - like U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy Jr., the Tennessee Democratic Party and former Senate candidate and current Democratic Leadership Council chief Harold Ford Jr. - are insisting they'll keep the money they got from Hsu, Wizbang says there are serious questions about where that money really came from:

Norman Hsu has a great deal of questions to answer. And we need those answers. Here are a few:

• How did he meet with so many prominent Democrats (such as Hillary Clinton) while he was a fugitive from justice?
• How did he get out of the country back in 1993?
• How did he get back in?
• Just what was the source of all that money he poured into Democratic coffers?
• What did he expect in return for his investment?

Of all these, I think the source of his money is the most important. Every single investigation into his business history ends up blank -- "there's no there there," as Gertrude Stein once said about Oakland. He apparently had no visible means of possessing that much money, and I -- and anyone who cares the least about our electoral process -- ought to know who was trying to inject that much cash into certain candidates -- and, by extension, what they sought to gain by it.

I'm going to hazard a guess that, if they ever find the answer to that question, it will have something to do with the communist regime in China, just like the big fund-raising scandal involving the 1996 Clinton campaign.

I'm also going to predict that the Democratic Congress either won't rush to investigate properly.
