Shades Of Chappaquiddick

Ted Kennedy has a dog named “Splash.”

Boston Herald – Word on the Beltway is that Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Portuguese water pooch Splash is about to make a Splash on the kiddie-lit front.
Kennedy is in talks with publishers to write a children’s book that gives a dog’s-eye view of Washington based on the adventures of his loyal canine companion.
‘`The senator participates in a reading mentor program in D.C.,” said Kennedy spokesguy David Smith. “And after seeing the impact and the benefits reading has had on these second-graders, and after seeing how the children really respond to animals, he warmed up to the idea of doing a book.”

Got that? Splash. As in “What happens when you drive your car off of a bridge into a body of water.”
Teddy-boy’s sense of irony is overwhelming.
