I didn’t interpret your comment that way. Not at all.
Just pointing out that Farmington was where the debs went, not Long Island.
And yes, the story is malicious. The question is, who will benefit from this gossip. Poor Truman Capote certainly didn’t.
The compound was never in Weat Palm Beach.
Because it just reminds us that everyone in that clan has the behavior of pre French Revolution Aristocracy.
Isn’t it just nasty? And just about everyone dead.
I was mixing images, but don’t people know a smear when they see one? Or does it take experience with vicious gum smacking suburban ‘competitive’ young women?
Plus there was the rule, is it Irish? Never speak ill of the dead. And it was heeded.
How is anyone supposed to set the record straight on this?
And what if its a bit true, who should care? And it’s morphed into today’s culture. But people did not fool around back then the way they do now. Certainly respectfully married women did not. There was no birth control no widespread ... Ih well. They just didn’t Men did- like JFK. And there were sleazy women.
It’s like when Clinton ( I think I just assumed it came from him) got someone to do a tell all on Jefferson. It favored Clinton, announcing tgat it was precedented to have illicit sex in the Oval Office while on duty getting paid by the American people who I’m thinking we’re not intent on paying for him to do that
Pulling others down to the Clinton realm
When Joe became incapacitated she went to Rose and demanded her million and Rose told her to go to hell.
She stomped upstairs and came back 5 minutes later and old Rose to shove the million up her ass that she was marrying Onassis.
He called her the biggest whore in DC and hated her.
But did she have “grace”?
I don’t know what to think any longer. Maybe people did fool around then. Certainly JFK did. Unfortunately many of his ladies ended up dead. Marilyn, Mary Pinchot Meyer and others.
I read the other day about Mary Jo Kopekne. I didn’t know that her roommate was into the Bobby Baker Carousel group. She too ended up dead in what they called an accident.
Who knows what really goes on. We certainly don’t.
We don’t know.
The press completely covered for Jackie. They never printed any pictures of her that were not flattering. They never even showed her smoking a cigarette.
Did she really fool around that much? I’d still rather have her as a first lady than the one who is in the WH now who is spending millions of our tax dollars. It’s not so much the money, it’s her vulgar demeanor.
“Did she really fool around that much?”
Yes and so did Jack who by the way was also a switch hitter and loved little boys.
That...and the fact she hates America (and Americans).
your tell tale comment is why the media called it Camelot
to hide the same same sex
I never heard that about Jack? Little boys? Switch hitter?
It was pretty well kept in the family and not talked about.
I have often wondered how many men TR’s wife seduced. NOT
How convenient for this bum of an author or authors that so many of these people are dead. Her relationship with Marquand was documented in an earlier biography and is probably true. I find the idea of an affair with Bobby somewhat less credible, but Teddy? Give the woman some credit.
In a TV interview years ago, Jamie Lee Curtis dubbed these type of books “penis books.” She was mostly talking about the ones people write about themselves, but I think it pretty well sums it up.
People like that need shamed while they are alive - kind of pointless after they die
My favorite Kennedy book was the one where Old Joe has daughter Rosemary lobotomized. The man was a piece of work all right. He had an affair with Gloria Swanson and she had an abortion as a result if it.
As I understand it, Jackie was the one who started the Camelot thing, because it was a very popular musical of the day. The early 60s were actually a very troubled time for our country—the Cold War about as bad as it could get, racial tensions at home, beginnings of the Viet Nam war, all kinds of things.
