“Hsu’s On First!” “Yes!”
First plane out of Colorado, that is. Democratic party fundraiser Norman Hsu appeared in court today in Grand Junction, Colorado to waive extradition to California.
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, wanted in California on a 15-year-old felony theft conviction, agreed Wednesday to return to the state without a fight.
Hsu appeared in court, his hands cuffed and his ankles shackled, as he read legal documents waiving his rights and signed four copies of the paperwork. He also answered Judge Brian Flynn's questions about giving up his right to fight extradition.
During the course of the questioning, Flynn asked Hsu, "Are you thinking clearly this morning?"
Hsu responded, "Yes, your honor."
Flynn also asked him if anyone was forcing him to give up his rights and Hsu said no.
Flynn said authorities usually arrive within 10 days to take custody of an extradited individual, but district attorney Pete Hautzinger said he expects San Mateo County authorities to arrive Thursday to take Hsu back to California.
And since I played off it for the post title, here is the entire classic Abbott and Costello routine, "Who's on First?"

That heavy hitter needs to put one out into right field–there’s nobody out there.
