Ted Kennedy Claimed to Have Slept with over 1,000 Women

In a chapter of his autobiography, the late Senator Ted Kennedy confessed to having slept with over 1,000 women and spending more than $10 million in hush money to keep his womanizing ways a secret. If you crack open the book, however, you won't find a mention of this in there anywhere. That is because horrified family members and advisers cut it out before the book was published.

A close source also revealed to the National Enquirer that before he died of brain cancer at age 77 on August 25, Kennedy also revealed that he had planned to seduce Mary Jo Kopechne on the night she drowned. The source said:

"While dictating his memoirs into a tape recorder, Ted decided to tell the whole truth about his life - including his love life. He said that his first lover was an Irish nanny. She was about 19, and Ted was only 13.

When his mother found out, she sent the nanny back to Ireland. Rose made Ted pray on his knees for hours to ask forgiveness. But Ted recalled that even his sore knees couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

From that day on, he says he seduced as many women as he could, from maids and cooks at the family's Hyannis Port compound to college friends that his sisters brought home."

The source added that Kennedy even admitted to having planned to seduce Kopechne the night his car plunged off the road in Chappaquiddick.

"But his lawyers and friends begged him not to open that door. They said that even after his death, it would hurt his legacy and haunt the family.

He relented about Mary Jo, but went on to admit that he'd seduced the wives of some of his closest friends and even his brothers' girlfriends."

Ted had hoped his book would tell the truth about his life, but family members decided to hold off on including certain parts of the book out of respect to the family's reputation. Even though it was removed from the book, it seems the revelations leaked out regardless.

Alot of rape, I’d bet.

Maybe so, but it wasn't "rape-rape."

Post of the day! Heck, year!

What is there to be respected?

Orin Hatch's best friend, according to Orin. God help us, I can't understand how people can have such vile friends.

Hannity and Beckel

are best friends too.

"Another one who walked in this brother’s footsteps was Bobbie, who picked up the Marilyn Monroe scaps."

Umm...you made a typo. You misspelled "scabs".

This smells like a fabricated story. No way this guy scored like Warren Beatty. I mean, it’s demeaning to women to claim that he slept with 1000 of them.

"I have been blessed to be part of a wonderful family. Both of my parents, particularly my mother, kept our Catholic faith at the center of our lives. That gift of faith has sustained and nurtured, and provided solace to me in the darkest hours."
Excerpt from Kennedy's Bravo Sierra letter to Pope Benedict XVI.

Here's 1000 more reasons why O'Malley screwed the pooch when he allowed that circus of a funeral to take place.

"Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9

And drank like a fish. There is a remote chance that the alcohol was to try to quiet what was left of a conscience. At least I hope so.

I wonder if any of them hung him from the ceiling? (nuckin’...)

.....slept with 1000 women....

I think at least three members of the rock band I used to work for beat that in five years.

Yeah, that whole honesty and loyalty thang is so-o-o out of date.

“Exner would know. Another one who walked in this brother’s footsteps was Bobbie, who picked up the Marilyn Monroe scaps”

There are more than a few people in Hollywood who know a lot (many are old and dying off now). A few years ago, a very nice older lady who, in her prime, was mistress for many years to John Huston, very calmly and without any drama simply stated to me, “Oh, yes, that was one of the parties my mother threw where Marilyn was to meet up with JFK.”

[TexasFreeper2009]

more like he spent 10 million on prostitutes, because no one would have slept with that pig for free.

[Happyinmygarden]

“I still can't understand why they have the threat of Excommunication but seldom use it”

And although this is a digression, as a former Catholic I will always remember my extreme humiliation when I went through a terrible divorce after TWENTY years of marriage and my sister-in-law and a PRIEST asked me if I was “going to get the marriage annulled”. This was so hurtful and so outrageously hypocritical that I was horrified. I am, happily, no longer Catholic but respect those who are. I do wish the Church would have the guts to really take a stand on things instead of having such wishy washy beliefs.

[TexasFreeper2009]

You forgot JFK with adulterer and old Jo Kennedy or whatever with drug smuggler or whatever he did.

Kennedy also revealed that he had planned to seduce Mary Jo Kopechne on the night she drowned

now there's a surprise...

Let me fix that typo for you.

Another one who walked in this brother’s footsteps was Bobbie, who picked up the Marilyn Monroe scaps clap.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Wow, he’s got me beat by 999.

And me by 997. But they were all sober at the time.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Nah, I know HTML. It’s the damn spelling that gets me.

"A whole lotta people in Congress do what Teddy did, so it be alright. - Maxine Waters"

Your Ebonics is awful. Allow me to correct it. It should read, "A hole lots o peeps in da Crongress dey du wha de Tedy he do. So it b alwrite." - Maxzeen waturs

[cubreporter]

Claimed being the key word.
