  Here's the difference

  Each side has had some contact with indicted fundraisers. (Clintons - Hsu)

  Barack has called his involvement "boneheaded" and has donated all the money away. In other words, he admitted he made a mistake and took personal responsibility for it. The Sun-Times is an old-fashioned muckraking newspaper with a crack political reporting squad that is known in Chicago as VERY well-connected and plugged in. If there were more out there on the Rezko thing, we'd know; the Sun-Times has been investigating this story for YEARS.

  Has Hillary ever admitted ANY mistake? Has Hillary returned ALL the illegal donations she has received? No. Her Royal Highness is unable to admit mistakes. She is infallible. It's a good self-image to have if you're the Pope, but not if you're President.

  Notice how my comment doesn't fall into the trap of "everyone does it, the Clintons are worse." No. The argument isn't that "Clintons did it too," but that "Clintons can't admit these mistakes." By the way, go to Rezko's Federal Election Commission records (available online) and scroll down the list. He's donated to most of the Democratic and Republican politicians in Illinois. Move along, nothing to see here.
