Clinton Names New Dog "Seamus"

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.

I swear, if I could have made this up, I would have. This just can't be real.

"See-mus" or "Shame us", either way, it's a hoot. Freudian on Clinton's part, no doubt.

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

Here's a picture of Seamus, hoping the cute pup lives a long life. Look at his face, as if to say "Of all the places I could have called home and I end up with Klintoon and the witch"

With Clinton, the Freudian slip is more like Seamus = Semen and [in]
Buddy = Butty. LOL

Gaelic is a funny language, the consonants and vowels don't do the same things you'd expect them to do in English. Seamus is definately "shay-mus." Of course, Siobhan is "Chevon." Who else would guess that Ceilidh could come out "Kaylee." Heck, you'd almost think that Slainte sounded like "Slawn-cha." Oh wait, it does.

But what an incredible coincidence to announce the dog has an Irish name while he's padding about in Northern Ireland with his hand out for money for his library. Why do I expect the dog will be Louis when he's in Paris, Gunter when he's in Berlin. Ivan when he's in Moscow, and so on and so on.

Anyway, slainte mhath.

Two things:
(1) The dog should be called "No-Shamus". Much like his master.

(2) Anybody got a line on where to buy life insurance for a dog. I smell a real money maker here.
