His other dog, “Gurgle”, is still alive.

Splash? His name was splash???

The dog's name was really Splash. Word is that Ed-Lardo named the pooch himself.

The Obamas will have [a water dog] to send to [the Kennedy's] when it is no longer needed as a prop.

Boo was a gift from one worthless idiot to another.

Splash sired the Wee Wee's mutt, Bo. That's how Fat Boy got the critter ... I mean you really don't think Hot Rod Eddie actually ever paid for anything at any time in his life, did you?

Of course, that's not to prevent the Kenyan and his Wookie from returning the gift. They are widely known to have about as much a sense of good taste and protocol as a case of the runs.

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

Of course not. As mentioned above, the Slob never forked out for anything. These idiots are either on the government tit or are members of the fawning mainstream media.

A dog can love even the most hideous person.

After showing affection to Ted, probably accidentally, the canine was always seen off in a corner frantically licking his balls. According to vets, the poor dumb animal was trying to get the taste out of his mouth.

Thanks for that..LOL...seeing it...makes me remember just how great the actual VW ads were during that campaign..my all-time favorite was when after we’d first landed on the moon, they ran an ad with side by side pics of the LEM and the VW..the caption was..”It’s ugly, but it gets you there..” Just brilliant..

“Splash? His name was splash???

That was my reaction, too! I just turned around and screamed this at my family incredulously and then came back here and saw your post. Too funny!”

I read a few times that Mary Jo made for a long time joke fatboy would tell among his colleagues.

Hopefully in hell kennedy spends 23.75 hours a day in the backseat of an upsidedown submerged convertable.

The other 15 minutes getting a sulfuric Chivas enema.

See post #46.

Yes, Mary Jo’s death was a source of MUCH joking and mirth to the now dead Kennedy.

Here’s a fond tribute: First one of Teddy’s aquatic companions not to drown.

Unfortunately, you are correct...

I meant Oldsmobile.
Have no idea where convertable came from.

Maybe if it was a convertable Mary Jo would still be alive today to celebrate Christmas.

That’s Hitler with his beloved Alsatian “Blondi”.

Hitler loved Blondi so much he had her poisoned in the Fuhrerbunker just before he croaked. Didn’t want his dog to outlive the Thousand Year Reich.

Same way Paul Josef Goebbels and his wife poisoned their SIX children rather than let them survive.

BTW, my rich neighbor tells me a `splash’ is the standard measurement for mixing a Scotch on ice. His cat is named “Dewars”. But it’s Captain Obvious that Kennedy knew exactly what he was doing when he named his dog “Splash”; it was the Swimmer’s way of telling Mary Jo’s parents “you better put some ice on that”.

The caption under the photograph REALLY takes it...
knowing most here will not go to the article- I did to refresh my memory on what a portugese water dog looks like.

The caption says, having described Dead Kennedy and his chickie poo New Orleans union thug’s daughter of a wife walking down to the dock to his ....”sailboat” that:

“Kennedy sought solace on the waves as he battled brain cancer.”
Solace on the waves? Like the solace Mary Jo had under them... what absolute lick spittle crap. The PR machine still at it. That would be like saying “Skakel sought solace on the links, while in prison for murder with a 7 iron” These globe people are beyond reality.

Every video of Blondi with Hitler shows the dog cowering, head to the ground, ears flat, one with audio the dog is whimpering.

That VW campaign is legendary in the advertising world. Brilliant indeed.

I wonder if the bipolar drug addict will become a citizen of MA and run against Scott Brown.
