Bush brother’s ex defends JFK’s purported love child (Sharon Bush defends Worthington)
Canwest News Service ^ | 2/15/2008 | Denise Ryan

Posted on 02/15/2008 4:29:21 PM PST by littlehouse36

VANCOUVER -- A Bush has come forward in defence of a possible Kennedy.

Sharon Bush, the former wife of President George W. Bush's brother Neil Bush and a close friend of Jack Worthington, has come forward exclusively to the Vancouver Sun to speak on his behalf.

"He is a fine man, highly ethical, a man of high integrity," Ms. Bush said about Worthington, rumoured to be John F. Kennedy's illegitimate son, in an interview Thursday.

Ms. Bush said she decided to speak out after a British tabloid claimed Mr. Worthington once tried to flog a book about being an illegitimate Kennedy offspring and may not be who he claims.

If this is true, there is no way this guy could be a Kennedy

I saw a side by side pic on Fox News when the story first broke. There is a bit of a resemblance.

Now that is funny. In this day of DNA testing, this would seem to be both easy to determine and NOT a news until the validity of the claim is determined.

“When his mother gave him the information, just a few years ago, he was shell-shocked,” said Ms. Bush. Mr. Worthington shared the information with Ms. Bush at the time in “complete confidence.”

Ms. Bush said Mr. Worthington always kept his secret very well. “He only wants to know the truth.”

Ms. Bush, who dated Mr. Worthington after her divorce from Neil Bush, said the resemblance is so strong, it’s “stunning.”

“Having been married to one president’s brother, and now possibly dating another president’s son, it was a little too much,” she added with a laugh. They’ve remained close friends.

There was a morph on Inside Edition that made him look as much of a son to JFK as that chelsea/web hubbell morph.

But until they do the DNA, it means nothing.

He has a crooked lip. You can see it in the picture but is noticable when his mouth is open in the younger videos.

Supposedly he has asked the Kennedy Family for some of their DNA to test against his own.

Anyone notice the timing of this?

Ted Kennedy and family endorse Obama, say he is just like JFK.

A news story about JFK's supposed illegitimate son comes out shortly after.

Next....a story about an Obama love child or womanizing?

first impression on the videos, he did not have JFK’s teeth..but it was a quick look.
Inside Edition might put that video segment on their site.

But wouldn't the Kennedy family have to agree to that? Either Teddy or Caroline, or at least someone directly connected to JFK? I doubt any of them would be eager to find out.

I’d be surprised if there weren’t a few illegimate JFKs around...he was a hound dog and birth control wasn’t exactly a sure thing in those years.

Jack Worthington who claims to be JFKs son.
 

Here's some key Worthington/Love Child facts:  

Jack claimed his story is much more than the tale of a long-lost son being suddenly found.

- He said he will reveal information that will have a potentially profound impact, but he refused to specify what the impact would be.

- Jack is an American businessman who moved his family to B.C. recently.

- He has been working with the U.S. magazine Vanity Fair for 18 months, but publication of his claim has been held up pending a confirmation with DNA evidence.

- He publicly appealed to the Kennedys to provide DNA from the former president, or provide male DNA from anyone directly related to JFK's father, Joe Kennedy.

- Jack would not say anything about his mother, who reportedly was a Texan introduced to Kennedy by his then-vice-president, Lyndon Johnson.

- He was raised in good circumstances by a stepfather and educated in America.

- He is tall, slim, with reddish-brown hair and Kennedy-straight teeth.

Someone would have to agree or be ordered or someone could “find” some Kennedy DNA in a public place. If this guy wanted to make his case he could have a PI get a straw a known relative threw away in a public place. Alternatively he could sue and the family might want tests to disprove his claim or he might ask for court ordered tests to prove his claim.

From the point of view of the family, they might as well do this now rather than face the spectical of someone being dug up by some historians or entertainers years down the road to show one way or the other.

Getting the DNA shouldn't be a problem. Just wait for Ted to start snoring in the Senate, then do an oral swab.

So easy to determine the truth. An authenticated hair from JFK can be bought on eBay to determine the DNA and compare with his.
