Clinton's Shady Friends

The New York Times reports that Hillary Clinton is donating the money she received from Norman Hsu to a charity, and will be investigating other campaign contributions facilitated by Hsu.

That's all fine and good, but does giving the money to charity really make what she did okay? If it were a one-time incident, I'd be happy to give her the benefit of the doubt (any normal person would), but the Clintons seem to make it a practice of cultivating shady friends until they're caught, then immediately distancing themselves. For them, this is a pattern of behavior, and should not be tolerated.

There's my two cents.
