Lemme get this straight. Norman Hsu, Hillary fundraiser, jumps bail after putting up $2 million dollars. He was caught in Colorado and the judge sets bail at only $5 million? Thanks to ClubO for the link.
Grand Junction - Disgraced Democratic donor Yung Yuen "Norman" Hsu looked jittery as he made a video appearance from the Mesa County Jail on Thursday while a judge set his bail at $5 million and scheduled an extradition hearing for next week.
Bam! Ouch! My chin just hit the floor. What is wrong with the person who wrote this article? Did she lose her copy of the Journalist Stylebook? I'm talking about "Disgraced Democratic donor Yung Yuen "Norman" Hsu". C'mon Nancy. You wrote "Democrat" in the first paragraph. And what is wrong with the copy editor at the Denver Post who let that through?
But back to Hsu. He skips out on $2 million bail. He's an obvious flight risk. The prosecutor asks for $50 million and the judge sets the bail at $5 million. Was this judge a Clinton appointee?

Posted by: tyguy on September 17, 2007 05:54 PMI'm more shocked than you Denny. The Denver Post is almost always just a smidge less left then the New York Times. Alas the reporter has I'm sure been sent now to cover the human interest story of prostitutes with congenital syphilis in night court as punishment for sins against socialism.
Posted by: Echo5Bravo on September 17, 2007 07:01 PMThe judge??? set a $5 million bail for a criminal with $6 million + in his checking account. Na he won't run.

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 18, 2007 05:10 AMActually, the Judge thinks it's idiotic, too. Apparently, aside from capital cases, the law won't permit him to deny HSU bail.
