First, we have Hillary’s favorite donor, con man Norman Hsu, getting three years in the slammer. But not until his lawyers:

…asked Judge Stephen Hall to dismiss his 1992 no contest plea, arguing that Hsu’s right to a speedy trial was violated because authorities were not actively pursuing him during his years as a fugitive.

That almost beats the classic definition of chutzpah: a child murders both his parents then pleads for mercy because he’s an orphan.

In Texas, there’s the mom who helped her six year old win concert tickets by lying in an essay that her father had been killed in Iraq.

Priscilla Ceballos said she hadn’t intended to mislead the contest sponsor but got caught up in helping her daughter “realize her dream of seeing Hannah Montana.”

“I just wanted to help my daughter write a compelling story,” she said. “There is no more compelling story than the struggle and sacrifices of our military and their families.”

True, but it’s not your story, honey.
