Kennedy to Publish Children’s Book
Meet the latest children’s author, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash, his co-protagonist in “My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C.”Scholastic Inc. will release the book in May.
Ok, first off, I have a hard time thinking of Senator Kennedy as a children’s book author. But, ok–no reason why he can’t.
But second, does the man not have a publicist? I have known for a while that his dog was named “splash” but this is surely taking it to a whole new level.
It always struck me as, well, odd that he names his dog “Splash” in he first place–kind of like Nixon having a dog named “Plumber” or Clinton having a dog named….well, you can write your own joke…

Between this and his remarks last weekend on “the Goldwater Presidency”, I think it’s time for ol’ Ted to pack it in.
Either that or give up the hooch….
