Guess ol' Buddy outlived his political usefulness.

"We are deeply saddened by Buddy's death," the Clintons said in a statement issued by Payne. "He was a loyal companion and brought us much joy. He will truly be missed."

They issued a STATEMENT? Lord, what is it with these people? They give the Ron Brown treatment to their DOG for Pete's sake?

Buddy learned the hard lesson- Don't play 'go fetch the stick' in Ft. Marcy Park with anyone named Clinton.

What did Buddy know? Was he killed first and then thrown into traffic? He had a strange wound resembling a .45 calibre bullet hole in the head.

"Police said it was unclear whether Buddy was being walked at the time of the accident or had escaped from the Clinton home."

Riiiiiighhhhhhhhhhht.....no one knows if the dog was being walked or not?? Um, hello? Any witnesses? Usually when you're walking a dog, you are walking with him or her. Did the driver see if the dog was being walked? Does the driver remember anyone being around the dog? Doesn't one usually run to a dog's assistance if they are WITH IT?????

Duh. And to release a press statement about it? Sheesh....

Another time, when playing fetch with Clinton, Buddy became entangled in the ex-president's legs and knocked him down in full view of the cameras.

[OK]

Yep, another Arkancide...

he's knocked me down

So they pushed him into the street?

Word is he was ready to bark to a Grand Jury. We'll know it's a cover-up when they bring in the Park Police to investigate and the autopsy is done by Fahmy Mahlek(sp?)

[DJ88]

I wonder if they'll have a full-fledged funeral service for him, where Sinator Hillary can bemoan how badly dogs are treated.

BTW....aren't their laws against a dog not wearing a leash outside? HELLO????? This is so stupid. Yeah, I hate to hear a dog got killed, but would I release a press statement about it????

Betty Currie's brother met the same end...(hit by car)

[pollwatcher]

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!!!"

Buddy's last words

(Headline should'a been "Suicide at Chappaqua")

[LUVYA DUBYA 2000]

BREAKING NEWS! JUST IN!!!

RUMOR has it Buddy was about to tell all! He had contacted a doggie psychic and was going to expose the real relationship between he and BILL. Even the part about Bill making him wear that stupid Black Beret! Suicide or Murder? At least it wasn't a gun shot to the back of his poor little head.

Leash laws for other peoples' dogs.

[DJ88]

Hey! I got it.....Buddy and Nicole Simpson's dog were getting ready to testify in front of a grand dog jury....(what was her dog's name again? I know that idiot house guest had the same name....)

Labrador retrievers are the greatest dog breed man has ever seen. Period. They are gentle, smart, fun, great with children, fierce defenders of the home, excellent hunters, and utterly loyal. Poor Buddy had owners who rarely spent time with him, and now he is dead. I care nothing for the Clintons, but I am sad at the passing of what was doubtless a darn fine dog.

[LEGACIES ARE FOR LOSERS]

The same focus group that recommended acquiring poor Buddy in the first place must have recommended allowing him to play in traffic now that he was no longer needed.

Anyone have a link to the thread about Gores' dog discovered by a repairman at their house to be suffering from a maggot-infested back wound?

[sakic]

If it was Bush's dog I'd be reading how a Democrat must have murdered him.

"Leash laws for other peoples' dogs."

Oh yeah, what was I thinking???? Rules don't apply to these people, right?

DJ slaps forehead....
