Ouch! Hillary Clinton’s softer image is clawed over dumped cat

HINT: It ain’t Socks anymore, either!

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 any more. 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 the intern Monica Lewinsky.

As a dog person, the Chief isn’t generally sympathetic to cats…but in this case…yeah, I guess so! Besides Socks, Betty Currie has more class than Hil anyway!
