    Does Teddy miss the irony of naming his dog “Splash.”

    Wow! Ted Kennedy acting responsibly! How… Republican. The Dems would have to revoke his LLL credentials if they ever found out about it.

    I heard John Kerry-Hienz’s dog was named Flip but he changed it to Flop…or did he?

    Considering that he went through 6 and half years of Nixon, 8 years of Red Ink, 4 years of Poppy and ran for POTUS, I’d say that makes him an expert.

    FWIW, the only person who doesn’t curb in my neighborhood is a trial lawyer who currently populates his yard with Bush/Cheney posters.

    I’ve suggested to him that he takes one of those posters with him and just let the dog do its business on that but he hasn’t yet. He usually only needs to hear a suggestion once to follow it, too. When I suggested to him that the lumps “Dakota” left on my yard were going to be the basis for his new house color, he began passing by my house on the other side of the street. Thankfully, or fortunately for him, his sweet wife walks the dog most of the time.

    The pooch in question is apparently a Portugese Water Dog. Water dog, just like most of his girlfriends.

    He will clean up a dog’s excrement, but not pull a woman out of a car. A picture of modern responsibility (Kennedy Style.)

    People have been picking up after Ted since July 1969. About time he returned the favor.

    Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty? ”

    Obviously Ms. Thompson is near-sighted. It was not the dog he was cleaning up after.

    Or Rep. Julia Carson naming her pitt bulls “Smash” and “Grab”.

    Or Rep. Barney Frank naming his chihuahas “Butch” and “Sissy”.

    Perhaps Monica Lewinsky naming her pooches “Fiddle” and “Diddle.”

    It’s like LBJ having a dog named “I had his damned liberal head blasted off and now I’M Prezeedent of these here United States”.
    Now THAT’S a name for a dog. And that’s what I’m talking about, Teddy. Next time, get a real name for yur dawg!!!

    His nickname is “Splatter” which is a lot closer to “Splash” and has some similar ramifications. Except, of course, we have films of Splatter and there are, to my knowledge, no visual records of Splash in action.

    With the convention approaching, perhaps the good senator was running low.
