Teddy must have still been a little foggy from the last bender or maybe just in reminiscent mood when he came up with that one. Either way, another unforgettable Teddy moment.

If he was a a water dog they could have called him Drip.

Splash was a bit much for a name.

May he RIP in doggy heaven.

It’s unbelievable there are still people on the Kennedy payroll cranking out this treacly drivel.

At this point, any news is a good PR event for them. Their last family politician, a bipolar drug addict, lost his seat, and the few fawning editors remaining at the Washington Post won't be around forever either!

The name "Splash" was based upon what Teddie liked in his morning coffee.

Chivas usually

Ha lasted a lot longer than poor Buddy did.

Dog was definitely a better human than his late master.

RIP our furry friend.

We covered it here when he got the dog but it was just too easy.

See that diver? He was the the Chief of the Edgartown Rescue Squad. He was on WRKO for the 25th anniversary and said he gets audited by the IRS every year.

Sorry for the loss of ‘Splash’. I hope ‘Bubbles’ and ‘Gurgles’ are doing well.

Splash? His name was splash???

It was a male dog...they couldn't very well name him Mary Jo.

[NormsRevenge]

How did a dog like him ever get stuck with a guy like Teddy?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The only Kennedy who wasn’t a thief and criminal.

[Retired Greyhound]

That’s the first thing I thought.

Splash?

[maine-iac7]

a constant presence at the senator's side, bounding and romping as he rumbled through the halls of power

And just why was he allowed to constantly romp through the "halls of power?"

Some pols are more equal than others? Typical elitist/Socialist mind set.

“leapt around the Oval Office, and once growled at Joe Biden and Paul Wellstone “

A dog saint!

[Wolfstar]

Sorry for the loss of ‘Splash’. I hope ‘Bubbles’ and ‘Gurgles’ are doing well.

Hahahaha...I shouldn't laugh, considering the subject, but that's just so funny. I love a dry, acerbic wit.

A PWD?

Is this why Uhbama ended up getting a PWD? To emulate the Most Beloved Kennedys(TM)?

I was wondering how they latched onto a rare dog.
