This bizarre canine/quid-pro-quo pairing debuted yesterday in a revisionist Newsweek report authored by clinton lapdog, Jonathan Alter; the Newsweek piece was set up to be yet another cozy clintonoid interview of the Colmes kind.
Gross clinton "infrastructure" miscalculation, as it turned out. The report has proven to be counterproductive on its face. The clinton "infrastructure" error was to assume sufficient clinton intelligence to navigate these heady times, as well as lapdog immutability in the face of universal post-pardongate, post-9/11 rodham-clinton disdain.
The report fails to explain how Buddy was able to wrest from the strong arm of the Secret Service and negotiate the multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-financed retrofits that were installed to make the poorly located suburban house safe for the universally despised former first couple. The report also fails to include a timeline detailing the whereabouts of the clintons on the day of the death. The clinton report's indictment of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) has caused incipient whispers of a vast left-wing conspiracy and the ever-expanding list of dead adverse clinton witnesses to fill the Senate cloakroom.
Buddy was a 1997 'gift' from a 'benefactor' who subscribed to the notion: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," particularly sage advice for a DC couple forever mired in scandal and antipathy. Whether Buddy also subscribed to that notion was questioned as recently as last January when he entangled himself in clinton's legs, dropping the impeached ex-president to the pavement; clinton insisted at the time that there was no malevolence involved, that they were simply playing a game of fetch. clinton refused to say who was doing the fetching. (see BILL & HILL & BUDDY & HELEN, Helen Thomas Syndrome: THE SYMPTOMS )
The White House reported that the clintons' first First Pet, Socks, a cat, "greeted the canine acquisition with a hiss previously reserved only for Ken Starr." Because Buddy remained Socks' nemesis throughout the clinton dog days, Socks was eventually exiled to Virginia, to the suburban home of Betty Currie, former clinton subornee and sex scheduler. At the time, clinton observed: "I made more progress in the Middle East than I did between Socks and Buddy." Retrospectively, it is clear that clinton's characterization was not correct.
Buddy web sites quickly exploded in cyberspace. (Socks web sites, too, Socks would add.) Mrs. clinton, a long-time adherent of synergistic exploitation, "authored" an instant book about three groups favored for exploitation by the clintons: dogs, cats and children. "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets" was published by the clintons' personal agitprop-and-money-laundering machine, Simon & Schuster. (see Is hillary clinton's $8M "book advance" a Peter-Principle artifact?)
Although Chappaqua locals share the national repugnance for the clintons, their feelings never spilled over to Buddy. "The big highlight for people was, 'I just saw Buddy,' never mind Mr. and Mrs. Clinton," said Christine Meyer, owner of Wags and Whiskers here.

With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Monday, April 1, 2002 11:55 a.m. EST Clinton Newsweek Outtake: I Beat Paula Jones In comments taped by Newsweek reporter Jonathan Alter during his interview with Bill Clinton that weren't included in the magazine's print coverage, the ex-president claims total victory over sexual harassment accuser Paula Jones. "I was tickled that (Troopergate reporter David) Brock said that they always knew there was nothing to the Paula Jones case and I won that," the disgraced ex-president insisted, despite being impeached over charges stemming from Jones' lawsuit and paying her $850,000 to drop her appeal after a judge's dismissal. "The judge ruled in my favor," Clinton continued, before commenting on Jones' recent "Celebrity Boxing" bout with skater Tonya Harding. "So, if she wants to box Tonya Harding, Tonya Harding looks like a pretty tough cookie to me," Clinton observed, before seguewaying seamlessly into the Monica Lewinsky case. "And, ah, it's just, I wish - I've always said, I wish Monica Lewinsky well. I hope she has a good life. There's nothing I can do about that, though." While Newsweek covered Clinton's comments about the Jones-Harding bout, the quote about the Jones case that appeared in print was markedly different from the one the magazine made available through an audio link on its website. Here's the Newsweek print version of Clinton's remarks on the Jones case: "[David] Brock [the ex-conservative hit man] says they knew all along that there was nothing to Whitewater and nothing to the Jones case. I think it was just a matter of power. I feel bad for them because Iím going on with my life and they should go on with theirs. Maybe it would be good for the new generation of leaders in our party if they [the right-wingers] stayed focused on me and they miss them, and then [weíd] win a lot of elections." |

As a deeply scarred victim, I think that he was very fortunate to have married such a pillar of ethics as his beloved wife obviously is.
Yes, the women in his life are responsible for the kind of man he is today.
Happy April Fools Day, Mia!
Thanks, OK
