Will he "write" children's books about his other dogs, Toronado and Mary Jo?

This is *so* just wrong. :P You *know* the circuits are going have a ball.

Here's a link to the video with Mo Rocca on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. If not just outrageous.

Old SS Oldsmobile named his dog splash, lol.
Theme song "In My Mary Jo Oldsmobile".

I'm surprised Scholastic is doing this. No doubt the book will sell well and please the teachers who peddle their books, but it will also anger a fair number of parents. Is it worth it for a children's book publisher to mire itself in that kind of controversy?

Yes, it will make a big splash. They are going to throw the first carton off a certain famous bridge in New England.

I am confused. Is the name "Splash" related to this dog being a water dog and the "splash" when he jumps into the water.....or the "splash" of Scotch poured over ice....or the "splash" of cars in the water...or the "splash" of the tsunami when Ted jumps into the ocean

ODE TO MARY JO (With apologies to Bobby Gentry)

It was Seventeen July, Another sleepy, humid Hyannis day,
I was out shuckin' clams And my brother was slicin’ brie,
And at supper time we stopped and walked back to the compound to dine
And Rose hollered at the back door, "You savages remember to act refined."
Then she said, "I got some news this morning from Cambridge

***Today Mary Jo and Teddy went off the Chappaquiddick Bridge ."***

Joe said to Rose, as he passed around the Roquefort cheese "
Well, Teddy never had an ounce of sense, pass the lobster please
There's five more states in the lower forty-eight I got to screw."
And Rose said it was a shame about Mary Jo, she knew
Seems like no good news ever comes out of Cambridge

***And now Teddy and Mary Jo went off the Chappaquiddick Bridge.***

Brother said he remembered when he and Jack and Teddy K
Wrecked a yacht on a cove on Cape Cod Bay
And wasn't I talking to him after Mass last Sunday night
I'll have another couple escargot, you know, it don't seem right
I saw her at the gin mill yesterday in Falmouth with some kids

***And now you tell me Mary Jo and Teddy went off the Chappaquiddick Bridge.***

Mama said to me, "Child, what's happened to your appetite?
Bridget’s cooked all morning and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice Police Chief Arena dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, Oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked like you on the On Time-Two at nine
And she and Teddy K. were throwing something into Pocha Pond"
A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Mary Jo
Brother married Vicky Gifford, they bought a place in Truro
There was a virus going 'round, Joe caught it and died last spring
And now Rose doesn't seem to want to do much of anything
And me I spend a lot of time snorting coke up in Cambridge
And dropping tabs over on the Chappaquiddick Bridge.

Neal Boortz said it best, "Ted Kennedy having a dog named 'Splash' is like the Unibomber having a dog named 'BOOM'."

My Senator and Me: A Dog's-Eye View of Washington, D.C.

to be followed by a sequel: My Senator and His Oldsmobile: A Fish-Eye View of the Chappaquidick Bridge.

... is not only a charming pet story, but also engages children in understanding how government works.

is not only a deliciously ironic hypocrisy, but alo engages children in understanding how government works for really rich guys whose family has all sorts of shadowy connections, so they can literally get away with murder, philandering, public drunkeness, and appearing in public looking like a rotting bagpipe full of squid guts.
