More Hsu

One of the updates to my Berger-Clinton post contains a report that Norman Hsu's "illness" was a suicide attempt. This discovery stemmed from the fact that Hsu sent copies of a suicide note to several acquaintances.

In the note, Hsu reportedly used a time-tested tactic of responsibility avoidance: blame the black guy.

Hsu's undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted "by a politician who pledged 'hope and change' " -- an apparent reference to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton's main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Obama's camp ridicules the idea, of course. However, the Democrat-infighting is far more entertaining that those of the Republicans. Popcorn.
