A Week's Worth Of Instapuns

A Hsu pun, pun, pun, a Hsu pun, pun -- that's what readers of Instapundit and Beltway Blogroll have been treated to (or should I say subjected to) for the past week.

I started the ball rolling a week ago with a roundup and regular updates of puns about Norman Hsu, an embattled Democratic fundraiser. Glenn Reynolds then embraced the theme with gusto at Instapundit.

It's been loads of pun, so I thought I'd do another roundup just of the Instapuns from this week -- and then take a pun poll, a vote on the best of the best Hsu puns. I'll pick my favorites (only one of my own creations included) for the official poll, but you can always cast write-in votes in the comments.

Here are the Instapuns from this week, some borrowed and some new:
-- You wouldn't want to be in their Hsus
-- A big Hsu to fill
-- Hsu, Hsu, Hsusie goodbye
-- Tangled Hsu-strings
-- Blue suede Hsus
-- Hsu socked!
-- A Hsuicide note
-- Something else to Hsu on
-- Tugging on some Hsu-strings
-- Keeping his mouth Hsut
-- Trying to prevent further Hsunanigans
-- Hsu-leather express
-- Hsu loves you, baby?
-- The Hsu School for Social Research

Now here's the poll:

What is your favorite Hsu pun?
A boy named Hsu
Deja Hsu
Hsuicide watch
Waiting for the next Hsu to drop
A game of Trivial Pur-Hsuit
Democrats hit by Hsu-nami
Strange but Hsu
Hsu's yo (sugar) Daddy
Something else to Hsu on
Hsu-per California Donors Extradition Opus

Hey in the same week we find out about Norm's conection to Hillary, we learn that she has Sandy Berger as a policy advisor.

Socks and Hsu's!

The Capitol Steps are going to use the last one. :)

I offer these two:

1. "Hsu dey think gon' beat them Clintons!" (Bengals fans should recognize it.)

2. "Hsu's so fine, there's no telling where the money went....." (First Robert Palmer dies, then Hsu is hospitalized, separated only by a period of several years. Coincidence? We speculate, you decide!)

So, Hsu me.

If Hillary doesn't dance into the White House, would this because of voters suffering Hsu blues?

Do my Sandy pants clash with my Hsu suede shoes?

There are red states and Hsu states.

I keep waiting for the Hsu-Trie connection...

Here's my own pun: "Waiting For The Other Hsu To Drop"

It's about more campaign scandals revolving around foreign-born dudes - here's my sources:
