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.

Why would hillary dump socks. That had to be the only puss in the White House that bill didn’t chase.
Exactly, because the left lives bya double standard. They can impinge on your life, but we cannot impinge on their lives.
It’s about the issues, and Hillary’s record.
The latent despising of Hillary Clinton in ALL sectors of our society, including much of the Democrats, is immense. No one knows this better than HER CHIEF STRATEGIST - hence his fevered effort to propagate a lie.
That looks like one pi$$ed off cat ! He has the look of “don’t f*** with me !”.
Are you sure you don't mean Bill here?
Okay, that just made me laugh really hard. Thank you!
Interesting license place - 666 WWW. I was thinking of 666 with the cat !
Could it have been that Vince was set to sing?
“scooping up more donations to her war chest from Wall Street and defense contractors than any candidate”
I find this hard to believe since the first things she will do is cut military spending and raise taxes causing Wall Street some trouble.
Socks, if she asks you to meet her at a park bench... don’t it.
“A little pussy will never keep a Clinton out of the White House.”
I don’t blame her. She’s probably sick and tired of seeing pussy running loose all over the Whitehouse.
Yup. Go to this video and see. Vince Foster is talked about starting at about #6 of 12 in this documentary. Watch all 12 parts though, it is very good. A reminder of what is the Clinton Inc. crime machine. The corruption is incredible.
Love requires selflessness, and I think she has worked very hard her whole life to eliminate any shred of that.
>>But the advantage she enjoys with women is considerable. Penn believes the “emotional element” of being the first woman presidential nominee in history will “throw the Republicans for a loop.” So far every attack has bounced off her.
Perhaps the cautionary tale of Socks the cat will make a difference. “Hillary’s insistence that we follow her example in pet ownership, when she really should be on Cat Fancy’s Most Wanted List, makes her a tiresome bore,” Flanagan writes.
“But exploiting the emotions of good-natured people – well, that’s just another example of her three-decade-long drift from the girl she once was to the woman that circumstance and ambition have made her.”<<
In the words of my grandfather, “Oy vey.”
Hillary is the devil we know. Just about everyone knows that she is a brittle figure with a shady past. This doesn’t really hurt her with her fans, in the same manner that everyone in Chicago knew Daley was a crook. In fact, I think he shady behavior and ability to get away with it gives her an allure lacking in the honest. The cat doesn’t matter. We all know how the Clintons work. The left will, of course, re-invent the myth about the Glorious Leader making the trains run on time. The rest of us will grit our teeth.
Groan...but in a GOOD way! :-)
The MSM is so fair and objective, too!
If this is making a case against Hillary Clinton, she’s already won the election. Republican strategists should stop mistaking the electorate for a bunch of sentimental retards. Those sorts of people will consistently vote Democrat anyway.
