Hillary's Paws

Six members of a low income family have donated $200,000 to Hillary and other Democrats' campaigns since 2005, making them the #3 donor family to Hillary's campaign says the Wall Street Journal: Big Source of Clinton's Cash Is an Unlikely Address.

But look at this,
The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign. He has hosted or co-hosted some of her most prominent money-raising events.
...
According to public documents, Mr. Hsu once listed his address at the Paw home in Daly City, though it isn't clear if he ever lived there. He now lives in New York, according to campaign-finance records, on which he also lists a half-dozen apparel companies as his employer. In the campaign-finance forms, Mr. Hsu lists his companies as Next Components, Dilini Management, Because Men's Clothes and others.
...
Mr. Hsu is also a major fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton and other Democrats. When Democrats won control of Congress in November, he threw a party at New York City hot spot Buddakan with many prominent party leaders. Press reports said that toward the end of the night, he grabbed the microphone from the deejay and shouted: "If you are supporters of Hillary for President 2008, you can stay. Otherwise, get out."

Mr. Hsu has pledged to raise $100,000 or more for Mrs. Clinton, earning the title of "HillRaiser" along with a few hundred other top financial backers of her campaign. Earlier this year, he co-hosted a fund-raiser that raised $1 million for Mrs. Clinton at the Beverly Hills, Calif., home of billionaire Ron Burkle. He is listed as a co-host for another Clinton fund-raiser next month in northern California.

The Paw family is just one set of donors whose political donations are similar to Mr. Hsu's. Several business associates of Mr. Hsu in New York have made donations to the same candidates, on the same dates for similar amounts as Mr. Hsu.
The WSJ says, "No one in the Paw family had ever given a campaign contribution before the 2004 presidential election, according to campaign-finance reports."

Coincidence? Laundering? Or really judicious budgeting on the part of the Paws?

I strongly and vociferously object to the title containing the phrase "Hillary's Paws."

You, and I really know that it should read "Hillary's CLAWS."

More important is the link between Norman Hsu and good old Johnny Huang of Al Gore's Buddhist Temple fame.

You would *think* someone with Hill's supposed smarts would avoid these folks like the plague.

When the Clintons aren't sucking scum from the top of the pond [or getting sucked under the Oval Office desk], they are bottom-feeding the likes of the Hsus. I'm waiting for the MSM deluge of "racism" and "Murdoch hit-job' to surface as it always does from the Soros-cide end of the blog spectrum.
