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.
Why are the dogs gone? Did they bury them with their master in the style of the Pharoah?
Oh, geez, get another dog, will ya? Stop this friggin' "mourning." I'll bet there's some staffer thinking, "I may be outta a job, but at least I'm not scooping up s**t anymore."
Must be another slow news day . . .

And you can bet some staffer was detailed to walk the canines. Teddy's figure was proof of that.
Your tax dollars at work. Quite a pathetic "send off" they gave dear old Ted at the capitol building. All those people and they couldn't even muster a decent patriotic song. They sounded like they were embarrassed singing it. [Why not? Leftists aren't known for patriotism these days.] But the beauty of it was the dog and pony show at the capitol building made them late, late LATE sticking him in the ground at Arlington. Just in time for Lightening effects courtesy of God Almighty.
