Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will give to charity the $23,000 in donations that she has received from a fundraiser who is wanted in California for failing to appear

The decision came Wednesday as other Democrats began distancing themselves from Norman Hsu, whose legal encounters and links to other Democratic donors have drawn public scrutiny in the past two days.

If HRC ends up winning the nomination, she's going to get hit with so much mud during the run up to the general election.

She's just adding to their ammo.

She'll of course fight back against the "right wing conspiracy".

DO YOU THINK SHE'LL WIN THE PRESIDENCY IF SHE WINS THE PRIMARY ?

"Lobbyists are people too." Hillary Clinton, at the AFLCIO Debate in Chicago.

Her compassion for the poor lobbyists who are under assault from the nefarious likes of Obama and Edwards. Imagine their gall sticking up for the middle class and the poor! Who will stick up for the lobbyists who are under seige, especially the crooked ones. As long as they support her campaign with all of its glitz and pizzaz, who cares if some of the funds were acquired under suspicious circumstances! She's our girl, alright! GB

She needs to do a better job of vetting contributors. Can't be just so excited about receiving the money, and to hell with integrity.

Giving money back is the new rage in DC. Witness this:

Sens. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, each turned over to charity $2,500 campaign donations they had received from Craig's political action committee. Coleman and Collins both face potentially tough faces for re-election next year.

Hillary's accepting illegal donations is nothing to be suprised about. What until she's President and we'll see what the Lincoln Bedroom rents out for.
I'm reminded of when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole years ago. The Clinton Campaign took money from NAMBLA. The Dole Campaign returned NAMBLA's check. Of course once the media ran the story the Clinton Campaign finally gave the money back.
At least Hillary didn't take money from child molesters. Yet.

The brain dead, dishonest "Clintonite wing" of the democratic party, wanted to return to the political years of the 1990's.

Without missing a beat, the democrats are back to 1990's with the Clintons fund raising scandals.

It should be only a matter of days before Bill and Monica make their re-appearance.

While most Americans want change, the Clintonite wing of the democratic party what "corrupt business" as usual.

So how do these Dem scandals compare to the fact the GW BUSH invaded Iraq so his biggest donors- exxon-mobil could enjoy record profits?

I've noticed that at the current rate of exchange, a $23,000 "donation" is good for a 23 million dollar benefit. Quantity discounts apply

Again, I grow weary.

When politicians stop accepting hoardes of cash from special interests, then I'll worry if it matters that a few donors with slightly fisy backgrounds take out their respective wallets.
