Clinton Cat “Socks” Put To Sleep
By Wyatt Earp | February 21, 2009
Strangely enough, Hillary did the same thing to Vince Foster.
WASHINGTON — Socks, the cat who won international fame during his years in the Clinton White House, was euthanized Friday after months of treatment for cancer.
Of for God’s sake, they were treating the cat’s cancer???
Socks, who was born in 1989, was put to sleep about 10 a.m. at Three Notch Veterinary Clinic in Hollywood, Maryland, said veterinary assistant Rae Dera. Veterinarians say he was probably either 19 or 20 years old.
The cat lived for two decades. He had a good run, now let him go.
The cat had been losing weight since November and had been treated at the clinic, Dera said. He had been suffering from a cancer in his mouth and jaw.
Now before all of you cat lovers send me hate mail, read this paragraph:
Since the Clintons left the White House in 2001, Socks had lived with Betty Currie, former President Bill Clinton’s secretary. The Clintons were known to have visited Socks, and Currie, when in Washington. (H/T - CNN)
That’s right, after the Clintons left the White House, they had no use for their beloved family member and pawned him off on Bill’s secretary. In short, they treated their cat like they treat everyone: poorly.
So, you can probably stop the delivery of the flowers and stop writing your sympathy cards to Chelsea now.

Looks like Socks was nothing more than a prop, something to be used to generate good PR. I never would have expected something like that from people like the Clintons.

Will PETA protest the Clintons for their horrible treatment of this cat? Hahahahahahah! Yeah, I know that it won’t happen.

Cats are NOT pets. They are main courses in Chinatown!

So are dogs and they kill baby girls.

Dogs don’t kill baby girls, irresponsible dog OWNERS kill baby girls.

I didn’t know that the Clintons were that toxic to animals! Human yes, animal … who would have thunk it.
