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 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.

And I’m sure the Paw family will enjoy the extra cash as it will be theirs to spend now..
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict that the MSM will 1) Ignore it as long as possible and then 2) Focus their “reports” on whoever may talk publicly about this, not the details story on its face.
Yeah, sometimes being a psychic is soooo easy.
Winkle Paw? I thought he was one of the Teletubbies.
That sure looks like a converted trailer to me.
They should use that money and buy some paint. Man, that house is ugly.
I totally disagree with the concept that non-voting entities—like unions, companies, special interest groups and/or PACs—be permitted to donate anything to politicians or political campaigns. Only eligible voters should be allowed to donate money, time and/or services. The political process in American has become seriously skewed by allowing non-voting entities to participate in what is supposed to be a democratic process. After that, I would apply term limits to senators and representatives. It’s beyond me why it is Constitutional to have a presidential term limit and not Constitutional to have Congressional term limits. The distinction must be something only a lawyer (said sneeringly) could rationalize.
Eliminating all those shark-suited lobbiests, dug in like ticks on dog, in all those high rises around DC will save billions of dollars a year.
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!!!!!
So this address is a continuing front for Clintanoid campaign fraud. These are no doubt donations from NYers (illegal since the individuals alread gave the max in NY) funneld through every SF family member—at least in name—at this modest SF home address. In reality this is probably repeated at a plethora of front addressses across numerous states. Cash routed through whatever fronts are needed to let a few of the Marc Rich type Friends of Bill fund the whole thing.
Ain’t campgain finance reform just a glorious thing.—Thanks a lot McPain, et al.
Legal and Clinton rarely meet.
Lettuce sea how it takes for the MSM to investigate it on Nightline. 60 Minutes.
Still waiting.
Still waiting.
(Sent to Boortz. Would anybody else be interested? Micheal Savage? He's SFO area.)
Paw.
Hsu.
DEFINITELY not CHINESE.
No no no.
Perish the thought.
Midnight
one more night without sleepin’ -
Watchin’
till the morning comes creepin’.
Green door
what’s that secret you’re keepin’?
There’s an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door
Don’t know what they’re doin’
But they laugh a lot behind the green door.
Wish they’d let me in
So I could find out what’s behind the green door.
Knocked once
tried to tell ‘em I’d been there
Door slammed
hospitality’s thin there.
Wonder just what’s goin’ on in there.
Saw an eyeball peepin’ through a smokey cloud
Behind the green door
When I said
Joe sent me
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door.
AII I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door.

bttt
MSM reaction:yawn
I’m with you. the election process (among others) has been hijacked. Sadly, fundraising for campaign dollars is Washingtons’ biggest employer.
Put the b!tch in jail... throw away the key!
LLS
Is that Pelosi’s district?
I think Hsu must be Irish, and Paw Swedish or Italian.
” Maybe they’re Buddhist monks who took a vow of poverty and donated all their income to Clinton. “
Now I finaly understand the Bhuddist monastery connection—they wanted to consign us ALL to a vow of poverty!
