Glass houses can be such a pain. You just know that Democratic presidential hopefuls John Edwards and Barack Obama would relish mercilessly blasting party rival Hillary Rodham Clinton for taking money from a fugitive, businessman Norman Hsu. The story has all the makings of a sequel to the many and various fundraising battles of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
In the week before the story broke, forcing Clinton to return the money that Hsu had raised, Edwards made a big splash by uttering the words “Lincoln Bedroom” in a bid to connect Clinton to one of her husband’s embarrassing fundraising schemes.
But Edwards and Obama have been cautious in their comments about Hsu. They well know that the Clinton camp would fire right back at them, targeting Edwards’ hedge fund ties and trial lawyer cash, and Obama’s ties to indicted Chicago real estate executive Tony Rezko.
Perhaps that’s why the toughest attacks on Clinton’s Hsu connection have come from the Republicans.
