Dan Burton publicly questioned the use of White House personnel to answer letters addressed to the Clinton family pet (Washington Post, 3/19/97).
Dan Burtons Letter to The Clintons:
As a member of the new Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, I would like to inquire what the standard practice is for the White House to respond to mail directed to 'Socks,' your cat
How many of these inquiries were responded to over the past two years? Who pays for the postage? If it comes out of the White House mail budget, why are the taxpayers being made to pay for your feline's fan club? (Chicago Tribune, 1/8/1995)

I see that priorities haven't changed among the Hillary-Haters. Good to know that there are some things that are dependable and predictable.
