Socks that cat is dead. We’re not exactly Columbo, but we suspect Bill Clinton may have been the cause of his or her death.
Socks died after a long bout with throat cancer. One of the leading causes of throat cancer is cigar smoke. Bill Clinton loved cigars in the White House (and sometimes even smoked them). The dangers of second-hand smoke have been well-documented. So simple logic leads us to believe that Socks died as a direct result of the former president’s filthy smoking habit.
The Clintons loved Socks while he was young, playful and good for public relations. However, he eventually lost his kitten-ish appeal and when the Clintons left the White House, they dumped Socks like an old pair of shoes.
“Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere,” said a Clinton Foundation statement. “We’re grateful for those memories, and we especially want to thank our good friend, Betty Currie, for taking such loving care of Socks for so many years.”
We bid a fond farewell to Socks, who was the White House cat at the same time that Bill Clinton was the White House horndog.
