Clinton's New Buddy

It's a Chocolate Lab Named Seamus
By Mark Halperin

W A S H I N G T O N, June 5 — Former President Clinton's new dog is named "Seamus," ABCNEWS has learned.

Clinton told a crowd of well-wishers the dog's name as he petted a chocolate Labrador retriever puppy in Northern Ireland Wednesday. He is there to dedicate the William J. Clinton International Peace Center in Enniskillen.
Seamus is still at the Wild Goose Kennels in Federalsburg, Md.

Clinton plans to take him home to Chappaqua, N.Y., in a few weeks.

The puppy was born in early February, a month or so after his old dog, Buddy, was killed by a car. Seamus is Buddy's great nephew.

Clinton still tells people how much he loved Buddy and how much he misses him.

The last time Clinton got a new dog, the Washington press corps competed vigorously to be the first to report the puppy's name. White House aides successfully had some sport with a few prominent journalists, who were sure they had the name correct, but were, in fact, wrong. In this case, sources assure ABCNEWS that the new dog is indeed named "Seamus."

The Clinton Center will focus on peace-building and on religious reconciliation in Ireland and overseas.

A dog

which is in federalsburg
is named shame us
by a pig
in a town called Enos killin'.

I know, I know ... I'm a sick puppy.

[Rockiesrider]

should be "shame on us"

Let's face it: With Clinton, everything is a sexual innuendo ("in-you-end-o").

Only Enya knows for sure.

Clinton Names New Dog "Seamus"

This might be a transcription error -- surely the dog's name is "Seamlus".

Hope "Seamus" has a few unbreakable "habits".
That should comfort all of us Lab owners who know how bad our boys can be if not trained early. My eight year old has talents opening doors ect.(wheelchair asst.) but he also has a bad quirck "seperation anxiety".
I pray Seamus does not lead a kennel life just coming out for show. (worst case scenerio)

[The_Media_never_lie]

Which is it? Do you suppose he meant semen?

Hope the dog doesn't chew up Clinton's Freudian slippers.

hey bill make sure seamus does not leave stains on carpet

[BARGE]

This is all show;won't be long before this dog also gets killed from neglect.

Why does Klintoon try to be so pretentious. The poor puppy, I hope people keep their eye on it. And hold Klintoon accountable. Klintoon--you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

You are all missing the most important question; WILL HILLARY TAKE HIM WITH HER WHEN SHE GOES DUCK HUNTING?

[Paul Atreides]

Just goes to show that he can't even name a dog without Carville or Begala to tell him exactly what to do.

Or, to spin a saccharin story behind the choice of name? Bubba has the soccer moms scratching their heads over this one.

Bubba and his new dog; Shameless and Seamus.

[Paul Atreides]

He is there to dedicate the William J. Clinton International Peace Center in Enniskillen. Seamus is still at the Wild Goose Kennels in Federalsburg, Md.

More like; "He is there to dedicate the B.J. Clinton International Piece Center in Peniswillin'."

"seamus" is an anagram for "assume" and we all know what assume means.
