RUSH: You know something, folks? I\u2019ve been noticing, last night and today, be it in print, be it broadcast — you know, Norman Hsu had been charged here by the feds with running a $60-million Ponzi scheme, and every reference to him — either graphically, or on TV, or in print stories that I have downloaded from anywhere on the Internet — refers to him uniformly as ‘disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu.\u2019 Now, I\u2019m puzzled about this for two reasons. A, why are they referring to him as a Democrat fundraiser? Normally the Drive-Bys would just be referring to him as ‘disgraced fundraiser,\u2019 if they would even be doing that. But every one of them does it. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s Fox, PMSNBC, CNN, the newspapers, they write ‘disgraced former fundraiser.\u2019 The second question I have is: ‘How come the people that took the money from the disgraced former fundraiser are not themselves disgraced?\u2019 Where is the FBI looking at Norman Hsu?<\/p>\n

‘But, Rush! But, Rush! He just got indicted by the feds.\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes, for his Ponzi scheme, but I don\u2019t know that the FBI is investigating his campaign contributions, per se. They are investigating where he got the money to charge him with a Ponzi scheme. But let\u2019s go back, shall we? Right now Ted Stevens, a Republican Senator from Alaska, has the FBI prowling around his home in Alaska from some fraud involving, what, remodeling a bathroom in his house with some constituent or some such thing. I don\u2019t know the details, but the FBI is on the case — and then we had a little con person from down here who was writing these funny little e-mails to these pages, and they had the FBI in on that. They were reading these e-mails, and they\u2019re examining IP addresses and DNS\u2019s and servers and everything else trying to find out what really went on. E-mails, folks, e-mails! We had ABC News on the case. What else have we got? Harry Reid! Dingy Harry, made hundreds of thousands of dollars in questionable land deals involving federal lands. The LA Times has done countless stories on the intricate details and the workings of Dingy Harry and his sons, who are lawyers and lobbyists. Where\u2019s the FBI investigating that? Duh, I don\u2019t know that they are. They might be, but we haven\u2019t heard anything about it. We certainly hear when the FBI is investigating Republicans, for e-mails or some kind of fraud, remodeling a bathroom.<\/p>\n

Where is the FBI examining Democrats? Do you realize how many fraudulent donors in this cycle there are to the Democrat Party? Not just Hillary, but Ubama, all of these people, Edwards. They all are giving the money back, they say. They\u2019ll give it to charity and so forth. I want to see the canceled checks on those donations to charity. But where\u2019s the FBI investigating the funny-money campaign contributions to the Democrat Party? Now, we do know that the FBI was heavily involved investigating Jack Abramoff. Why, any Republican that ever came in contact with Jack Abramoff, why, they were going to fry along with Abramoff. But now we got Norman Hsu and a whole bunch of them here. In fact, from NBC\u2019s The Note today — and, by the way, here\u2019s this word again, connected to Hillary: ‘Fishy Donors Haunt Hillary\u2019s Run.\u2019 Who was it the other day said Hillary was not a ‘cold fish\u2019? Oh, it was Madeleine Albright. She\u2019s not a ‘cold fish,\u2019 which means, ladies and gentlemen, that Madeleine Albright knows Hillary\u2019s temperature. So now here\u2019s a ‘fishy\u2019 donor\u2019s ‘questionable cash haunts Clinton and her rivals in race for \u201908 — The Wall Street Journal\u2019s Brody Mullins and Ianthe Jeanne Dugan today find another suspicious ‘bundler\u2019 who\u2019s helping Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.: William Danielczyk, founder of a Washington-area private-equity firm.<\/p>\n

‘They quote a donor, Pamela Layton, as saying she was reimbursed by Danielczyk — her husband\u2019s boss — for the donations — which is quite illegal: ‘I don\u2019t even like Hillary. I\u2019m a Republican,\u2019 Layton said. The Clinton campaign says it\u2019s sending back the $9,200 donated by the Laytons, and will review all of the contributions brought in by Danielczyk (strarting to sound familiar?) This, of course, comes on top of the Norman Hsu debacle (and there\u2019s more on an old alleged Hsu-devised Ponzi scheme in today\u2019s Los Angeles Times). Another Hsu could drop today,\u2019 and, of course, the other shoe has dropped on Hsu. — Well, it has! — That\u2019s his federal indictment on this Ponzi scheme. ‘In addition, Clinton is still refusing to say whether she\u2019ll return money from Oscar Wyatt, who is on trial for fraud, conspiracy, and other charges related to Saddam Hussein\u2019s abuse of the UN\u2019s oil-for-food program…. the Washington Post\u2019s John Solomon and Matthew Mosk examine Clinton\u2019s top fund-raisers and find ‘several figures who were involved in the 1990s Democratic Party fundraising scandal that tarnished her husband\u2019s record.\u2019 … So far, this is more of an issue for Clinton than any other candidate … but… One of former senator John Edwards\u2019 top money folks — trial lawyer William S. Lerach — is now headed to prison for at least 12 months under a plea agreement on a conspiracy charge.\u2019 So where\u2019s the FBI here, folks? This is a pattern. It is a pattern here in the Democrat Party, and it\u2019s being swept under the rug — and they keep saying ‘disgraced Democrat fundraiser.\u2019 There\u2019s something up. I haven\u2019t figured out what yet, but there\u2019s a reason the Drive-Bys are doing that.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The fundraising scandals and so forth, Norman Hsu, the other shoe dropped on Hsu, by the way, the big $60 million indictment out there, but you know how the Clintons explain this? The Drive-Bys, even though they characterize him as a disgraced Democrat fundraiser, even though the Clintons run out there and say, (paraphrasing) ‘This isn\u2019t a pattern of corruption. We heard what Limbaugh said about this. This is not a pattern of corruption. This is simply widespread coincidence.\u2019 With the Lippo group, and the Riadys, and that bunch in the late eighties in Arkansas all the way up to the nineties, now this is a widespread coincidence. Here\u2019s what we ought to do, folks. Any of you practical jokers out there — nah, don\u2019t do it. Just something I\u2019d love to see. Just get some of that yellow crime tape and just drape it around Clinton campaign headquarters. We know what goes on in there. Just make it a crime scene and be done with it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So I\u2019m watching MSNBC during break, and they\u2019re doing a story on Acccccch-madinejad not being allowed to go down to Ground Zero and place a wreath because it would be a security risk. Hell, yes! The guy could come armed with a nuke! Who knows? Bottom line is this: They\u2019re running graphics on MSNBC: ‘Axis of Evil Leader Denied Permission…\u2019 I burst out laughing. ‘Axis of evil leader\u2019? When\u2019s the last time you ever heard Ahmadinejad referred to as ‘axis of evil leader\u2019? I\u2019m thinking, ‘What\u2019s going on here?\u2019 First the Drive-Bys are referring to Norman Hsu as ‘disgraced Democratic fundraiser…\u2019 Actually, what it ought to be — and I think I\u2019ve figured out why they\u2019re doing this — if they wanted to characterize Hsu correctly, it would be ‘disgraced Clinton fundraiser.\u2019 So they\u2019re using the word ‘Democrat\u2019 to, at least, you know, be accurate and get there and not hide it, but they\u2019re hiding the fact that much of his largesse went to the Clintons. As I say, folks, put some crime tape around her headquarters, because it\u2019s a crime scene. Everybody knows what goes on in there. Now we have ‘Axis of Evil Leader Denied…\u2019 What are they doing? Are they jabbing Bush with that? Now, I mentioned Norman Hsu earlier, and I said that the excuse that they\u2019re offering is that he got on the wrong train. He actually thought he was getting on BART. I\u2019ve had some e-mails from people questioning me on this.<\/p>\n

Look, folks, ‘His spokesman, Jason Booth, says Hsu intended to appear for his September 5th court date in California and may have thought he was boarding a Bay Area Rapid Transit train when he instead caught an Amtrak train heading out of the state. Jason Booth, who was in Colorado on Tuesday on the eve of a court hearing at which Hsu was expected to waive extradition, said, ‘That\u2019s what appears to be how it happened. He was disoriented at the time. We believe he suffered a psychological, mental, or physical breakdown. How that was caused, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m not a doctor.” Well, folks, I don\u2019t know about you. I\u2019ve been to San Francisco. I\u2019ve been to the Bay Area. I\u2019ve seen the BART trains. There is no way. If you are suffering from derangement, if you have been poisoned, there is still no way (laughing) that you will mistake the Bay Area Rapid Transit for the California Zephyr! Because when you get on BART there aren\u2019t any sleeper compartments, for one thing. Of course, there was Hsu\u2019s apology. He apologized to all the people he donated to. This stinks to high heaven, folks, I\u2019m telling you. Let\u2019s go back to earlier this year. I\u2019m talking about January, maybe even a little prior, maybe go back to 2006, certainly this year, January, February, March.<\/p>\n

Do you remember all the stories about all the money Mrs. Clinton was amassing in her campaign war chest? Accompanying those stories was the analysis, and the analysis was, ‘Well, she\u2019s just vacuuming up all the money. There is not going to be any money for anybody else to get. She\u2019s getting it all so early,\u2019 and then the mysterious arrival of Barack Ubama, and all of a sudden he starts reporting more money raised than Mrs. Clinton. Now all of a sudden, Mrs. Clinton is starting to give back, and give back, and give back. So we wonder: Where did all that money come from? I think, frankly, they don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t think they care. If they get caught, they\u2019ll send some back and say, ‘Ah, it\u2019s a coincidence, a widespread coincidence. Ah, we didn\u2019t know about this. How can we be possibly expected to know the details of all of our bundlers and donors? Why too many people love the Clintons out there, so they can\u2019t possibly find out every detail about everybody.\u2019 That\u2019s the story that we\u2019ve gotten here. Ubama is saying the same thing. You wonder how much she really got and how much of it was legit, because it appears… This is going to dog her. This is going to I think have a life longer than she wants it to have, anyway.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
