Doggies Made All of Teddy’s Crimes Melt Away
-By Warner Todd Huston
Teddy Kennedy has left a long string of harassed and hushed women going back decades, one of whom, we all know, was left to die underwater near Chappaquiddick in 1969. The fact that the homicide he committed likely kept him from becoming president is often uproariously cited as his “cost” for that murderous incident. A sober assessment of Kennedy’s life, though, can’t help but come to the conclusion that crime does, indeed, pay, and richly. And if you are a Kennedy, the Media is your accomplice, your bag man, your getaway driver.
And the covering for Kennedy continues even after his passing as can be seen by the absurd piece of drivel penned by Politico’s Erika Lovley from August 30 the first paragraphs of which would have been expected of hagiography, if not outright satire, as opposed to honest reporting.
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) was years ahead of the curve when it came to Take Your Dog to Work Day. The constant presence of his three Portuguese water dogs in his Russell building office helped humanize their owner and brought a sense of fun to a workplace known for rules and formalities.
Now, lobbyists, staffers and other Hill dwellers say they mourn not only the passing of Kennedy but also he end of a unique chapter in Capitol Hill’s canine history. With their black curly hair, floppy ears and bouncy gait, Kennedy’s dogs became a part of the lawmaker’s nearly 47-year Hill tenure.
One wonders how much better the reputation of some of the greatest cretins of history could be if only they were “humanized” with three Portuguese water dogs prancing about their offices. Why, maybe people wouldn’t still hold a grudge against Augusto Pinochet if he’d been smart enough to “bring a sense of fun” to his workplace? Maybe Nicolae Ceausescu would be a tad more appreciated today if only he had a few happy doggies to take the edge off a government “known for rules and formalities”? Maybe all those killers, hustlers and harassers out there could learn a lesson of public relations taught by a master so that they too might soften their hard reputations a tad?
Of course, none of these folks were fortunate enough to have the entire U.S. Media on their side plying propaganda for them. They also weren’t born a Kennedy, that magic family name that erases all known crime.
So, Kennedy the dog lover is how we are expected to remember this odious man? All his evils, excesses, incivility, and failures are to be forgotten because he had a few Portuguese water dogs leaving messes in the halls of the Senate office building?
In any case, this piece of fluff and nonsense goes on to wax poetic about “Splash, Sunny and Cappy” heaping mounds of sycophantic love on the cute little doggy’s owner. It is a disgusting piece of falderal abut it is a piece with the lionization of the most dangerous Senator in a hundred years that this country has had the misfortune of having to deal with. His anti-American policies will plague us for decades to come as they have for decades since.
But, for the Media, none of that matters. See, three little doggies erases all the evil perpetrated by Kennedy. That and his last name.
Who says we have an independent media?
Lastly, can we mention the arrogance of a man that murdered a woman by drowning naming one of his dogs “splash”? Can we question the propriety of this? Or does the media have a way to explain that away, too?

Well, in all “fairness” [snicker] to Teddy….those Portuguese WATER dogs were obviously companion dogs meant to prevent another case of “accidental” drowning by one of his um…victims.
