WEIRD PEOPLE WITH MONEY. I haven't weighed in on the growing scandals on the political fundraising front, partly because I barely recall the last round of controversies in the mid-90s and so lack the sense of deja vu that older political reporters keep talking about, and partly because I'm not sure exactly what to say. But for those who want to read a good round-up on the issue, this piece today in The Washington Post provides an excellent overview, and this piece in The New York Times on Norman Hsu unspools a wonderfully peculiar narrative. Someone should make Hsu's life into a movie, or at the very least an episode of Law & Order.
