Norman Hsu: Sycophants Gone Wild

Norman Hsu may be the ultimate sycophant, chasing after politicians for admiration and respect as he forced his investors to provide contributions to politicians like Hillary Clinton, who took in approximately $850,000.

Now, I'm sure that a few thousand dollars here and there can slip under the radar, but when someone sends you close to a million dollars, and you are in a race to raise money, you will notice.

I find it highly suspect (and par for the course with the Clintons) that Hillary and her team did not notice that almost a million dollars of her budget was coming from a crazy man.  Someone contributes $5 to your $100 million campaign and you might not notice if they are wanted.  They give you $1 million before you have hit $30 million in total, and I think you should be able to pick up on it a little better. 

We are talking about a million dollars and not a free t-shirt or a North Face jacket or a bumper sticker or even a plate of food at a fund raiser.  Hillary's excuses on this one just don't smell right.
