Wag The White House Dog

Stan Freberg here. So Buddy, the White House's "first dog," doesn't get along with Socks, the "first cat." Well, hey! Socks is a Democrat, and Clinton obviously got a Republican dog. Be right back. [:60 SPOT BREAK]

Freberg here. There were a lot of names suggested for Clinton's dog. One of my favorites was the name "Shoes," to go with Socks, the cat.

I also liked "Arkanpaws," but considering the President's recent troubles, the name "Subpoena" might have been funny: "Here, Subpoena, come on, boy!"

After all his problems with fundraising, some Republicans have suggested "101 Donations." Harry Truman once said, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," so, that's what Clinton did.

A cartoon by Kevin Sires shows Buddy the dog in jail. He's saying to his cellmate, "Same old story. One minute I'm Bill Clinton's best friend, the next minute I'm indicted."
