Runaround Hsu

Some thoughts from Eric Scheie:

I was immediately reminded of the unresolved Peter Paul case, but if we think back further, there's Johnny Huang, Charlie Trie, Moktar Riaddy. The Craig scandal is pathetically simple, even sad by comparison, does not involve the presidential election, nor money corruption, and probably wouldn't be much of a scandal if it involved the Democrats. That the public perception would be that "both parties have scandals" shows only how easily manipulated the public can be.

...I think the Hsu case is bigger than Vick and Craig combined. It has a creepy, tip-of-the-iceberg feel to it, and it's a perfect reminder (as if anyone needed a reminder) of the deep, hard-core corruption which has long characterized Bill and Hillary Clinton. (I don't believe they have changed at all.) What sickens me more than seeing this corruption resurface is to see so many naive people behaving as if they're shocked and surprised. (And what will sicken me more than that, I'm sure, is the speed at which they'll forget.)

Yes. That people still don't understand the depth of corruption of the Clintons is a failure--no--a criminal unwillingness to inform the public, or even an ongoing effort to deliberately misinform them--by the press in the nineties. It was journalistic malpractice.

And it continues, as long as they remain Democrats, and Bill maintains his (always unnoticeable to me) charisma level. Who has been reporting on the upcoming Peter Paul trial? Very few.

And Eric implicitly offers a challenge to the poetically gifted among us--come up with new lyrics for "Runaround Sue."

Not much comment here... I see it this way:

Those opposed to Hillary Clinton are not surprised. (Clinton Fatigue)

The supporting Hillary Clinton hopes it goes away.

Most are missing the fact that this guy gave to most of the progressive wing of the Democrat party.

And now that's he caught again... he will talk.
