Cash for Clinton

August
28

The “Wall Street Journal”:http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118826947048110677.html?mod=todays_us_page_one has a story today about political donations for U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton coming from “a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.”

Six members of the Paw family, all listing the bungalow as their home address, have donated a total of $45,000 to the New York Democrat since 2005, and $200,000 to Democratic candidates.

“Big Source of Clinton’s Cash Is an Unlikely Address,” the article is headlined.

Plus, the article said, the donations mirror ones made by Norman Hsu, which the Journal describes as a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address.

Though it also noted: “There is no public record or indication Mr. Hsu reimbursed the Paw family for their political contributions.”

Hsu denied any wrongdoing.

Clinton’s spokesman, Howard Wolfson, said, “Norman Hsu is a longtime and generous supporter of the Democratic party and its candidates, including Senator Clinton. During Mr. Hsu’s many years of active participation in the political process, there has been no question about his integrity or his commitment to playing by the rules, and we have absolutely no reason to call his contributions into question.”
