Two famous figures in the Bill Clinton White House -- his personal secretary and ailing pet cat, Socks -- are back in the public eye.
Clinton secretary Betty Currie is working for John D. Podesta, co-chairman of President-elect Barack Obama's transition, at the same time reports surfaced that her adopted pet Socks has cancer. "It's not a happy prognosis," said presidential historian Barry Landau, a friend of Currie's. Although Currie opted against invasive tests, Landau believes Socks has "days or weeks" to live. Socks has lived with Currie since the Clintons left the White House. The black-and-white cat didn't get along with the Clintons' dog, Buddy, and aggravated the president's allergies.

I was never a Clinton fan, but it seems like Socks always told it "like it was". Buddy was a little 'goofier' acting, and seemed a little less trustworthy, like his master. Socks served the position of First Cat in an admirable and honorable fashion. Best wishes, Socks.
How sad. Poor Socks. I hope that he is kept comfortable and pain free for the rest of his life. I feel for Ms. Currie. It's not ever easy to loose a beloved pet.
So sad at hearing the news concerning Socks! Enjoy your last days Socks! You will always be remembered and you will have your own spot in our history!
How late was the cancer detection....?
