THE CONTINUING STORY OF BUNGALOW HILL
Some poor Paws lend Hillary a hand:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign aides yesterday said they won’t return tens of thousands of dollars contributed by a seemingly low-income family living in a tiny bungalow tied to one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors.
The campaign’s response came a day after The Wall Street Journal reported on the donations from the Paw family of Daly City, Calif.
The father, William, is a mail carrier, and the mother, Alice, is a homemaker. They live in a one-story green bungalow - yet six Paws have given a combined $45,000 to Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns in the past two years.
In total, the Paw family – haven’t the Paw done well under George W. Bush? – donated around $200,000 to various Democrats, possibly as a cover for clothing magnate Norman Hsu. Which leads us to the sensationally-named Winkle Paw:
Winkle Paw told the Journal that he had sometimes given money at Hsu’s request to candidates, but that what he spent was his own.
A man who answered Winkle Paw’s cellphone yesterday hung up on a Post reporter.
No need to get catty about it, Winkle Paw. Reporters may have better luck with Winkle’s sister … Dimple Paw.
UPDATE. An election expert picks his winning team:
Add another name to the list of political observers who think a Clinton-Obama ticket would be unbeatable: Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
They’d sure be an interesting team, what with Clinton’s rigid on-message pathology and Obama’s freewheeling crazy-talk.
Wasnt Bill in trouble for “paw-ing” an intern?

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 08 30 at 05:45 AM • permalinkThe Journal is reporting today that lots of Democrats were wallowing at this sleazebag’s trough:
“California Rep. Doris Matsui, said that she will return the $7,500 she has received from Mr. Hsu and members of the Paw family, who live in the Daly City house highlighted in the Journal’s initial story. Others who said they would return donations from Mr. Hsu include Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak, New York Rep. Kristen Gillibrand, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and comedian Al Franken, who is running for a Senate seat in Minnesota.
“Another Democratic presidential candidate, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, said he’d donate to charity the $37,000 he received from Mr. Hsu for his gubernatorial campaign last year.”
I haven’t seen a word about this in the MSM, only the Journal, by the way.

Hsu pleaded guilty to a 1991 grand theft charge after bilking investors in a latex glove sales scheme. He never appeared for sentencing, and authorities apparently lost track of him.
Latex glove scheme?
Posted by Mystery Meat on 2007 08 30 at 07:13 AM • permalinkI wonder how the name came about? Ill bet it went something like this. Years ago when immigrants came to Ellis Island they were asked their name. Many repeated the name of the place they came from, hence many family names changed to be place names from the old country. In this lot’s case Ill bet there was a Government queue for financial assistance to which an official asked a family member their name, to which the good hillbilly replied ‘Paw, paw, wuts our name’? History was made.
Winkle Paw? Dimple Paw? Can’t they at least bring these people up on charges of child abuse?

I’m in the RAAF- be very concerned, they obviously will take anyone who expresses an interest in dropping ordnance on orphans, bayonetting babies and using F111s to dam the Gordon River.
Looks like we’ve won, people!
OMG, I can’t deal with the Clinton scandels again! It is too soon to revive the 90s. I know, I live in NY and I haven’t ever really had a reprieve from the Clintons, but it is far easier to ignore a senator than a POTUS. Please, Dems, if there’s any mercy on earth, nominate anyone other than a Clinton. To have to hear about these disgusting campaign scandels again, knowing that no one will make a fuss about them, is just more than I can bear. The GOP and the DNC should make a pact, we won’t nominate anymore Bush’s if they cease this Clinton love fest.
Hey shit- I’ve only been on the job for a day, and I’ve saved them buckets of dollars- those pigs don’t need wheels, it’s obvious.
Woo Hoo- big outcome is now I’m a fucking officer cadet (at 47 years old), and face a goddam year of hideous nasty army type expectations about me actually being able to run an assault couse, strip and rebuild a steyr, fire the bugger accurately and keep up with 20 yr old bastards. I must have been drunk when I applied.
QED.
Or should I say gung ho?

Lord, the Clinton Clan remains as greedy and corrupt as always. I guess they want to catch up with the “old money”, like the Kennedy Clan.

Category: W.T.F.
Snippet..
All the while, according to internal military correspondence obtained by The Associated Press, U.S. commanders were telling Washington that many civilian casualties could be avoided by using a new non-lethal weapon developed over the past decade.
Military leaders repeatedly and urgently requested — and were denied — the device, which uses energy beams instead of bullets and lets soldiers break up unruly crowds without firing a shot.
It’s a ray gun that neither kills nor maims, but the Pentagon has refused to deploy it out of concern that the weapon itself might be seen as a torture device.
Perched on a Humvee or a flatbed truck, the Active Denial System gives people hit by the invisible beam the sense that their skin is on fire. They move out of the way quickly and without injury.
If the targets were strapped to a table and unable to move away, then the Martian Heat Ray might be a torture device… or at least used as one.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will give to charity the $23,000 in donations she has received from a fundraiser who is wanted in California for failing to appear for sentencing on a 1991 grand theft charge.
snip
Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer said the $23,000 included contributions from Hsu to Clinton’s presidential campaign, her Senate re-election and her political action committee. The campaign did not plan to return any money Hsu raised from other donors, Singer said.Gotta love the California AG’s office (which has been in Democratic hands for many, many years now). Here’s Hsu, a high-profile fund raiser for the Dems who hosts exclusive celebrity parties in NYC and the deputy AG who prosecuted the case “figured Hsu, a Hong Kong native, had fled the country”. You go get ‘im, boy.
Way to go, Habib! Keep your powder dry (or whatever’s appropriate to you RAAF types).
Yojimbo—This looks like the march of the Buddhist Monks part deux.
And I keep hearing the names Huang, Trie, Riady echoing back. Plus ca change and all that.

Can’t they use it in Sydney this week for APEC?
Looking at the comments, it seems as though the posts lean toward everyone BUT the protesters. Surely there (in OZ and here US) people are bright enough to understand that, while having a right to protest…these protesters are going to be (without a doubt) the agitator’s in provoking violence.
Congratulations, Habib!
I’‘m doubly pleased, because not only will you be kicking jihadi jacksies, but upon arrival of the Rudd government I know we can rely on you for the military coup. Godspeed, flyboy!

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 08 30 at 08:49 PM • permalinkCongratters Habib. Is there any chance of flight training at your age?
If you are fit you can keep up. A friend of mine was in the Oregon National Guard when his battalion was called up for duty in Iraq in 2004. He had 22 years in and was on the verge of retirement. Plus he was 59 years old. They tried to get him to stay behind but he insisted on going with his buddies. He did all the training with the battalion in Texas, passed all the physical demands, and deployed with the battalion to Iraq. He spent a full year there, doing guard duty, escorting convoys, providing security for sniper teams at night, and sometimes moonlighted with the armored cav in night patrols he wasn’t supposed to go on. He had many bits of jagged metal go past him but came home whole (nine men were killed from that battalion in Iraq). When John Effing Kerry made his comment about failing students getting “stuck in Iraq” Riley was the first person I thought of, for he returned from Iraq to resume what he had been doing before he went: graduate study in mathematics.
So age is no barrier to success if you stay fit. Go for it Habib!
