It seems a bit of a coincidence, doesn't it? Senator Edward Kennedy has been all over the news this week with his focus on Judge Samuel Alito in the congressional hearings. So, while the nation sits and watches the Democrats and Republicans duke it out, Scholastic Inc. has decided to strike while the iron is hot and send out a press release about an upcoming book written by Senator Kennedy himself. Now don't get too excited; this is no tell-all memoir or anything, but a children's story told through the eyes of Kennedy's dog, Splash, a Portuguese Water dog. (Bostonist has never heard of this dog breed either.)
Ever since Barbara Bush authored "Millie's Book" about the Bush's Springer Spaniel in the White House, politicians' pets have been forced into the spotlight even more. Kennedy's "My Senator and Me: A Dogs-Eye View of Washington, D.C." will give you a day in the life of Senator Kennedy, as told by Splash. Oh, and you'll also learn how a bill becomes a law. The book is coming out this May and Kennedy's share of the profits will be going to charity.
