Norman Hsu’s largesse and giving network continues to get prettier and prettier. In an article titled Big source of Clinton’s cash is unlikely address the Wall Street Journal on August 28, 2007 reports that:
DALY CITY, Calif. One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.
That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan’s Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.
It isn’t obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple’s grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to “attendance liaison” at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.

The article goes on to say:
People who answered the phone and the door at the Paws’ residence declined requests for comment last week. In an email Monday night, one of the Paws’ sons, Winkle, said he had sometimes been asked by Mr. Hsu to make contributions, and sometimes he himself had asked family members to donate. But he added: “I have been fortunate in my investments and all of my contributions have been my money.”
Which brings us to what you’ll see below – which is that Winkle Paw is listed as having given $8,000 to New York’s Democrat Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Now on its face – there’s nothing wrong with an investor giving, but the fact that there’s a documented pattern of donations coming out of the Paw residence, in the flight path of the airport out in San Fransisco, may create some uncomfortable questions. Another circumstantial issue that’s worth studying further is that fact that Winkle Paw’s three contributions to Mr. Cuomo’s campaign match up perfectly date wise – and number of contributions for that matter – with Norman Hsu’s contributions to Mr. Cuomo (keep in mind that Hsu gave much more to Cuomo, but that the fact that Paw and Hsu both gave one check on one day, and then two checks on another day really gets the brain a churning).

$8,000 out of the wild blue yonder – from a zip code that he has no major donors from – gotta be California dreamin’.
