NAMING BILL'S NEW FRIEND

Editor's Note: On Monday the Prowler, after an item on Buddy and his successor, asked: "But what will the new Clinton dog be named? Send your recommendations to: Bill's New Friend c/o Reader Mail (click below). All entries final. Please don't stigmatize the animal by naming him after David Brock." The following were judged Top of the Show:

How about Chelsea, Oops, he already has a dog by that name! How about Hillary -- what you say, he has a dog by that name too! Darn all the good names are taken! Oh well he could name it Dick (after Morris of course! Get your mind out of the gutter!).
-- Ron Olliff
Loganville, GA

Rich, of course. Then the command can be given to the pup, "Mark, Rich." Doggedly yours,
-- Mike Nolan

Pardon.
-- Ronnie Moore

Hillary.
-- Jim Stevenson

Dead Dog Walking.
-- unsigned

Since "Priapus" doesn't quite roll easily off the tongue, how about just "Randy"?
-- Jim Tyson
Fairfax, VA

At first, I thought of Hillary. But then I remembered he already had a Hillary. Then I thought about Monica, but he would never name a dog that; besides what if it were a male? I needed a unisex, simple name. I settled for Stain and, in my minds eye, imagined him calling the dog.
--Tim Hart

May I suggest the name "Prop" for the latest unfortunate animal to be taken into the "home" of our EX-president? For surely he will be a mere prop for staged photo-ops at the Clinton "country home" in rural Westchester County. In my opinion, it is extremely unwise to permit someone who leads such a peripatetic existence to adopt yet another pet. I do hope there are kind people at the "country home" who will give the dog the love, care and attention he deserves.

Bill's new friend should be named "Felonious."
-- unsigned

Poor Boy.
-- Ardys Parrish

May as well call him Doomed.
-- unsigned

Two things to remember about Labs:
1. They are brain-dead, lovingly loyal to their owners.
2. They create LARGE piles of "puppy poop" where ever they go.
Hmmmmm.... how about Carville?

The name Webb is a natural -- he'll already be experienced at "rolling over" for his owners.
