Report: Dumped Cat Could Come Back to Haunt Hillary Clinton Campaign

Sunday , October 21, 2007

As the “first pet” of the Clinton era, Socks, the White House cat, allowed “chilly” Hillary Clinton to show a caring, maternal side as well as bringing joy to her daughter Chelsea. So where is Socks today?

Once the presidency was over, there was no room for Socks anymore. After years of loyal service at the White House, the black and white cat was dumped on Betty Currie, Bill Clinton’s personal secretary, who also had an embarrassing clean-up role in the saga of his relationship with intern Monica Lewinsky.

Some believe the abandoned pet could now come between Hillary Clinton and her ambition to return to the White House as America’s first female president.

Clinton has been boosting her prospects in the past week with some homespun references to her gender as part of a series of events with the theme Women Changing America, during which she chatted girlfriend-to-girlfriend and mom-to-mom with female voters.

The softening of Clinton’s image seems to be working. Her chief strategist, Mark Penn, predicts that up to a quarter of Republican women will vote for her. She leads Democratic rivals in the polls by 26 points and is scooping up more donations to her war chest from Wall Street and defense contractors than any candidate from either party – an unmistakable indicator of who they think will win in 2008.

The Sociopath never has loved anything...not even Bill or Chelsea.
They’ve always been just props for her ambitions..like the cat and her prop Bible.

I agree. Dumping your pet, I dislike her more and more.
What about Chelsea? I guess she didn’t care about her pet either.

I think this is an important article, too.

The first paragraph should turn some women Democratic voters stomachs about Clinton's personal secretary, who had to also dispose of Socks the Cat, when they learn that this woman (Betty, Bill Clinton's private secretary) had to clean up the mess when Bill and Monica would get sloppy in the Oval Office...

Hmmm... Too much socks did Bill in, and now a lack of socks would be harmful to Hillary?!?

What about the violins?

It’s easier to understand why Vince Foster blew his brains out

Umm, but it is very hard to understand how Vince "blew his brains" out when there was not brain fragments or bone fragments at the scene of the, um, crime. Very hard to kill yourself and then drive to a (then) unknown park and lie down wouldn't you say?
