Socksgate:

1995: Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), then chair of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, investigated whether taxpayers were footing the cost of stationery and postage for the fan club dedicated to President Clinton’s cat, Socks. (They were not - and it turns out Barbara Bush’s dog Millie had a fan club too.)

elph: socks looks less ominous in person unless he is provoked. I met him at the annual WH easter egg hunt one year. The easter bunny (Tipper Gore) was holding him right before two crazy mothers knocked the easter bunny down and starting fighting to get an easter egg.....Socks was not happy.
