This About Sums Up The Clintons For Me

Googling for a link to support Drudge's teased claim that Clinton Private Secretary Betty Currie now works for Obama in some capacity, I couldn't find anything yet. But I did find this. I'm sorry that Socks, or when any pet, is seriously ill. But as a pet lover, the real rub for me is this.

They adopted the "homeless" Socks for the Arkansas Governor's digs. Kept him for their White House years. Then Socks, facing homelessness again, ended up with a caretaker, Betty Currie. That was eight years ago. Never trust anyone who gives up a pet they've had for a decade because it interferes with a lifestyle choice. They'll let you down every time in the end. A pet loving conservative would probably never do that. Of course, I don't trust people who have cats in the first place. But that's another issue!

Though I am sorry for Socks.

New York, Dec 16 (ANI): Socks, a cat that had belonged to former US President Bill Clintons family, is reportedly suffering from terminal cancer.

Socks, 19, had been a homeless kitten in Little Rock, Ark., before he was adopted by Chelsea Clinton in 1991, and had first lived in the governor’’s mansion with the Clintons before moving to the White House with the family.

If Socks has made it to 19, Socks has had a pretty good life, even if her first set of people had cold hearts. If Socks has made it to 19, Mrs. Currie has taken very good care of him. Knowing how very hard this is, I just hope she can let him go in due time, and not keep him going if he is in pain.
