ackie Kennedy’s marriage to JFK was headed to a divorce when his life was cut short by an assassin's bullet in November 1963. She was about to become the only First Lady to divorce a sitting president. That's the shocking bombshell in a new book Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A life Beyond Her Wildest Dreams by Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince from Blue Moon Productions publisher. Jackie had had enough. Fed up with his constant womanizing, and having her own dalliances that fueled the fire of her desire for liberation, Jackie told her confidantes that she wanted out. Her anger amped up after Marilyn Monroe's humiliating 'Happy Birthday Mr. President' performance And it wasn't the first time Jackie threatened to divorce Jack. By the late 1950s, Jackie was too demoralized by Jack’s sexual philandering to continue the public charade. Her father-in-law, Joe Kennedy knew all too well the profound problems and stepped in to warn her. ‘There is danger facing you as a divorced Catholic woman’, he told her. ‘I suggest you put divorce out of your mind’, according to the revelatory new book.

So when is a bunch of Rats screwing each other surprising news? No one should expect different from the Kennedy family, or the Clinton family, or the Obama family. When we get a book about the sexual exploits of the Carter family, I’ll be surprised.

No. Her family wasn’t anywhere near as wealthy as the Kennedys. Remember, her father was a drunk.

Actually the more of this kind of stuff that comes out the more it actually it resembles Camelot. Remember Camelot looked great from the outside but was rotten in the core.

That kind of makes her a whore doesn’t it?

Funny you would call her a name but not her husband.

Sounds like they were a pair of creeps. But the news media covered it up.
