November 5, 2008 is less than 1 year.

Being a Convicted Felon doesn't make you a bad Democrat Party fundraiser.

Will he be in the cell next to Abramoff?

I think you have to wait until January 20th.

It usually makes you a Republican Party fundraiser:

Not really. Just people refuting the insinuation that only Democrat fundraisers get convicted of felonies.

Where was someone saying that. I failed at reading comprehension so I can't see. Perhaps you can help? Only 4 posts before the first Bu.. bu.. but Abramhoff.

If he were a republican, he would have been appointed to a cushy government office.

Political corruption is only bad when the other side gets caught at it.

That's all the help I can offer. If you can't figure it out from that, you'll have to seek help elsewhere.

Good luck!

No, he and every Republican with whom he'd done business would be pilloried by left-leaning media until the end of the next election cycle.

So when does W commute the sentence?

Oh, Hsu's not a Republican...I guess he'll actually have to do the time.

 
felixstrange 2008-01-04 07:18:37 PM  
I remember when the Liberal Media pilloried all the people Jack Abramoff did business with. Like...uh...hmm...who was that guy again?

Seriously, both sides have had corrupt fundraisers. Both sides will have corrupt fundraisers in the future. If you want to get all worked up about it and see it as some kind of vindication for your personal political persuasion, have at it.

I agree...and actually never meant to come off as snarky.

 
clevershark 2008-01-04 07:26:00 PM  
It's not like Presidential election cycles ever end, nowadays. So, whenever he gets out there'll be something happening.

Yea. Maybe he'll share a cell with Hillary's brother. Oh wait.

Good thing we have a democratic president to pardon him and get him out early in time for this.

Recall all Repuglikkkans: felixstrange: Not defending "good ol' hsu" here (who's real crime was ripping off investors), but let's keep things in perspective, eh?

Yeah, we need some perspective here. The Regpulikkkans have real corruption going on and the best they can point to is a single fundraiser who could be connected to Hillary whose main crime was ripping off investors.


I would ask that you let the adults talk in this thread, son.

Time to admit yet that corporate financing of elections is not actually "free speech"?

I think that my initial impulse to declare this the thread-winner means I know too damned much about politics.

 
oldweevil 2008-01-04 10:39:21 PM  
The difference: Democratic criminals get convicted. Republican criminals get elected.

 
oldweevil 2008-01-04 10:51:24 PM  
And oh yeah, Hsu is right across the street from where Mike Huckabee went to college! So... um... I like where this thread is going? Anyone?

A Tout Le Monde: Good thing we have a democratic president to pardon him and get him out early in time for this.

You're confused: not pardons - sentence communtations. And they're only for people who obstruct justice and lie under oath to protect their superiors.

The pardon only comes at 11:30 am on January 20.

Thread on Republican Crooks:
Leftie Farker: OMG1! All repulikkans are the eval
Rightie Farker: But...but...Democrats...
Leftie Farker: YOU Sheep! Can't criticize Glorious Leader? www.midischoolhouse.com Run off to Faux News douche nozzle. This thread is about republikkkans!!!

Thread on Democratic Crooks:
Leftie farkers: Look over there a republican did it
Rightie farker: "but..but..republicans" in a record post
Leftie farker: Sir, I'm just giving perspective so we can understand that the problem is with politicians.

It's so comical the way that works.

Anyone who spells Republican as RepubliKKKan can't be taken seriously. How old are you? 13? Did P Diddy or Rage tell you to think this way, you ignorant sheep?
