Is Norman Hsu the Democratic Jack Abramoff ?

Jeff Gardner reports on Democratic money man Norman Hsu :

The fact that for the last three years he's been living large in Democratic circles obviously doesn't say much for California state investigators. And, as he's personally delivered nearly $250,000 to various Democratic candidates since 2004, Hsu's gifts were clearly as unvetted as Jack Abramoff's.

More importantly, like Abramoff, Hsu bundles big money. Bundling is a fund-raising tool that allows individual donors to give their checks to Hsu, for instance, who in turn brings the "bundle" to the candidate.

According to a Wall Street Journal story, Hsu is a fund-raising artist, delivering an estimated $1 million to Clinton's campaign to date.

Impressive. If only he didn't have that petty con man thing hanging over his head.

Barack Obama's leading fund-raiser, Orin Kramer, actually praised Hsu in the Wall Street piece: "Norman's widely regarded as decent and enormously generous." Sure, Orin. The folks Hsu scammed out of a $1 million realize he's simply misunderstood.
