Will the media care? Three guesses...

Yesterday the Wall Street Journal had a story about a The Paw family in California donating over $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005. That alone is not necessarily unusual until you look a little deeper. The Paws live in a 1280 sq ft. house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw is a mail carrier for USPS. Alice Paw is a homemaker, meaning she doesn't work. Their donations rank up there with those of people living in Greenwich CT and Manhattan's Upper East Side. This is a picture of their house in Califirnia;

The WSJ goes on to discover that the dontions by The Paws' closely match the donations of Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York business man. By a strange coincidence Hsu once listed the Paw home address as his own. In another coincidence Hsu is the top fund raiser for Hillary Clinton.

Read the whole article, it's very interesting.

And today the LA Times has their own piece on Mr. Hsu who they claim is fugitive and they also build on what the WSJ reported yesterday;

Democratic fundraiser is a fugitive in plain sight

California authorities have sought businessman Norman Hsu for 15 years. Since 2004, he has carved out a place of honor raising cash for such candidates as Hillary Rodham Clinton.

WASHINGTON -- For the last 15 years, California authorities have been trying to figure out what happened to a businessman named Norman Hsu, who pleaded no contest to grand theft, agreed to serve up to three years in prison and then seemed to vanish.

"He is a fugitive," Ronald Smetana, who handled the case for the state attorney general, said in an interview. "Do you know where he is?"

Hsu, it seems, has been hiding in plain sight, at least for the last three years.

Since 2004, one Norman Hsu has been carving out a prominent place of honor among Democratic fundraisers. He has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into party coffers, much of it earmarked for presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

In addition to making his own contributions, Hsu has honed the practice of assembling packets of checks from contributors who bear little resemblance to the usual Democratic deep pockets: A self-described apparel executive with a variety of business interests, Hsu has focused on delivering hefty contributions from citizens who live modest lives and are neophytes in the world of campaign giving.

The question is will the media take notice and report this with the same gusto that they are with the Larry Craig story?
