Former Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu was sentenced to nearly a quarter century in prison Tuesday for breaking campaign finance laws and swindling investors out of millions of dollars.

Hsu, whose donations were a source of embarrassment for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, apologized before his sentencing.

1. Double standard: Jack Abramoff didn't get but 10 yrs and Tom Delay is dancing with the stars
It is obviously much safer to illegally fund a Republican.

2. Republican politicians & operatives are given lighter sentences
Ney got out after a few years, Libby got pardoned for treason, Delay is disgustingly on a dancing show instead of serving any time - but some Democratic fundraiser? Put him in for life!
