Ted Kennedy to Publish Children’s Book: “My Senator and Me”
January 9, 2006

Ted Kennedy is publishing a children’s book for Scholastic Inc. Kennedy’s co-protagonist in the book is his Portuguese Water Dog, Splash.

According to Scholastic, Kennedy was inspired to write “My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C.” from his work with a Washington-based reading program, “Everybody Wins!” The book “not only takes readers through a full day in the Senator’s life, but also explains how a bill becomes a law.”

7. The RW mockery over this is going to be overwhelming

But then again, they're the people who put out "Mommy, Mommy There are Liberals Under My Bed" with a straight face on, so what else should we expect?

8. I have to get a copy for my husband.

Ahm, well, Uncle Ted had his dogs with him last year at that Mass Day on the Hill thing and they were wandering among the crowd. (My Cong. kids were there and Uncle Teddy told them they could watch the dogs. The kids were little, like 4 or so and it was a sweet moment. Poor Uncle Teddy, he was trying to make an informal speech and kept breaking off to call to the dogs. My husband loved that. He was talking about Uncle Ted's dogs for weeks! Ad Uncle Ted picked up on a different point after he got interrupted. "What was I talking about, oh yeah, Iraq. No Senator, you were talking about the economy. LOL!)

11. We can't, Barney would get jealous.

There are a number of people at DU who feel that Barney is really a Democrat who is being held against his will by the Bushies for propaganda purposes. What if Barney came across the story of a dog with a much, much better owner? He might get even more ornery and hard to control. Poor Barney.
