More On Hillary Clinton's Asian Connection

Michelle Malkin opens up with both barrels on Hillary Clinton's latest fundraising question marks at the New York Post.

The basic idea is that Asian-American groups are unhappy with the extra scrutiny brought on by the multitude of donations given to Clinton by "dishwashers, cooks and other suspect Hillary campaign contributors in Chinatown, Flushing, The Bronx and Brooklyn who were limited-income [and] limited-English-proficient" (one donor even admitted to being reimbursed for her $1,000 'donation'). They believe it could lead to a negative impact on Asians trying to participate in the political process.

Oh, please.

The clear message here is for those conducting investigations into Clinton's questionable fundraising activities to lay off. Malkin says:

The identity politics tribe can call it "ethnic profiling." I call it learning from history.

We've been here so many times before. With convicted DNC fund-raiser John Huang and Charlie Trie and Pauline Kanchanalak and Maria Hsia. With the Chinese Buddhist monks and nuns who helped engineer a Gore campaign reimbursement scheme and shredded documents related to their temple fund-raiser. With Washington ex-Gov. Gary Locke, who also took money from Chinese temple donors who couldn't speak English, couldn't remember when they donated or couldn't be located.

Malkin's conclusion:

If it's "ethnic profiling" to be extra-careful of Chinatown donors who can't speak English, live in dilapidated buildings, have never voted, can't tell Hillary Clinton from Hunan Chicken or simply can't be found, then "ethnic profiling" should be the standard procedure of every campaign.

Discrimination isn't a dirty word when it comes to keeping dirty money out of American politics.

I think that from now until the 2008 election -- in honor of Clinton's clear connections to rich Chinese political lobbyists -- I'm going to refer to her as Hillary Clintong.

That should be fun.

There's my two cents.
