SHOULD have brought a life vest and snorkel, Teddy.
Sen. Ted Kennedy was having a ball reading to a captive roomful of New York City third-graders yesterday when suddenly a dangerous question spewed out of the mouths of babes.
"When was your most embarrassing moment with Splash?" a pint-sized jokester from PS 11 in Chelsea asked Ted.
The kid was asking about Splash - Teddy's black Portuguese water dog who, at that very moment, sat quietly at Ted's feet, along with another pooch named Sunny.
But the adults in the room could not help but think about "splash." As in a car splashing to a watery grave.
Perhaps without realizing it, the tyke brought up the elephant in the room. Teddy Kennedy had just written a book about a dog named Splash.
How dare he go public - and with a straight face! - about a dog with that provocative name?
How can any Kennedy, particularly one who once crashed his car into the drink at Chappaquiddick - abandoning a young lady, not his wife, to a watery death - have the chutzpah to pimp out a doggie named Splash?
The room fell silent at the question.
Teddy was momentarily speechless.
Well?

Teddy did settle a burning question before he left. He said his dog was named Splash before he bought him, at age 1.
"That was a wonderful name for me, because he loves the water."
"He can stay in the water for hours and hours."
A lucky break for anyone who hangs out with a Kennedy.

So do I! Thanks for that pick.
Great pic!
did he get married in the church to his second wife?
Once again, Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
“If Mary Jo Kopechne had lived, she would be 64 years old.
Through his tireless work as a legislator,
(Senator in perpetuity) Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age.”

I seriously doubt that there has ever been a Kennedy that has morals, principles and integrity. If there is, they must have lived CENTURIES ago!
Doug--you'd like this one.
To think that this man has the nerve to criticize anyone for anything just makes my mind hurt.
His over-the-belt blubber supporter needs a blubber supporter!
The people of the State of Massachusettes are responsible for hoisting him upon all of us.
Blankety-Blank state!
The fellow who answered the phone was NOT amused.
Oh how I love you gutsy FReepers! Good job!!
I had something to that effect as my tagline when I first joined FR ("MaryJo needed an exit strategy"). I got quite a few thumbs-up comments on it!
