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.

I can hear her now - “This is old news.” And that tired old line won’t stand with pet lovers.
Did you ever think when you eat Chinese,
It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat siamese.
Yet the food tastes great so you don’t complain
But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork
But Socks was on my fork.
He’s purring here on my fork.
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I ate every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know
When they wrap it up in dough, boy,
They fry it real crisp in dough.
Chow Lin asks if I wanted more,
As he was dialling up his buddy at the old pet store.
I said not today, I lost my appetite,
There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight.
I was sucking on Rolaids and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boy.
And that is when I knew.
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I got to stop eating there at noon.
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork
But it’s purring there on my fork.
There’s a hair ball on my fork.
"Eso si que es"
“Her chief strategist, Mark Penn, predicts that up to a quarter of Republican women will vote for her.”
LOL! Not unless they’re smoking the same thing as he is.
“Clinton wrote a crowd-pleasing book “Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids’ Letters to the First Pets,” in which she claimed that only with the arrival of Socks and his “toy mouse” did the White House “become a home.”
Being Clinton, she also lectured readers that pets are an “adoption instead of an acquisition” and warned them to look out for their safety. (Buddy, the chocolate labrador in the Reagan White House, bounded into a road soon after leaving the White House and was promptly run over.)”
She’s so full of crap. She’ll say and do anything and use anything and anyone to get what she wants and then disgard them when she’s done.
The comment was somewhat tongue in cheek from a male persepctive. To many women, it will be a very big deal.
I might be at risk of getting a strongly worded letter from Harry Reid, but here goes:
Phony cat lovers.

Just like that big Bible Bill carried around when he did his photo ops going to church during impeachment. Some people were even stupid enough to believe it.
I remember the State of the Union speech he gave during impeachment and he made promise after promise...just a pile of words...pure baloney. But afterwards Trent Lott said “that’s it, it’s all over”. Errrrr...why? Because he gave a speech????? It meant NOTHING. I’d love for someone to dig up a copy of that speech and see exactly what happened with all those supposed programs.
A little pussy will never keep a Clinton out of the White House.
"Dear God, I thank you that I don't have to live at Mrs. Clinton's house."
If I remember correctly, did the Clintons, while in the W/H, not talk about adopting a baby?
Notice the similarity between the Clintons, and Hollwoood, where every star has some sort of pet, adopted baby? Pretty sick, and just like the Clintons, many of these “stars” appear to only use the children as photo ops/publicity.
ROTFL!!!!
Your kidding, Buddy was hit by a car? Or was it Arkancide? WIth these two, you never know.
OK FReeperettes, which of you are defecting?
Dogs are very loyal and forgiving but I suspect even Buddy had his limits. Knowing what he probably saw and heard in the White House, I would say he was pushed..........
