JFK, Monster (adult theme and language)
The New Repubic ^ | 10 feb 2012 | Timothy Noah

Posted on 02/10/2012 6:03:26 AM PST by rellimpank

I knew that John F. Kennedy was a compulsive, even pathological adulterer, given to taking outlandish risks after he entered the White House. I knew he treated women like whores. And I knew he had more than a few issues with his father about toughness and manliness and all that. But before I read in the newspaper that Mimi Alford's just-released memoir, Once Upon A Secret: My Affair With President John F. Kennedy And Its Aftermath, described giving Dave Powers a blow job at JFK's request and in his presence, I didn't know that Kennedy had an appetite for subjecting those close to him to extreme humiliation.

The likelihood that Alford is making this story up is extremely remote. She didn't come forward on her own. She was outed, partially in a 2003 Robert Dallek biography, and then by name by the Daily News, as "JFK's Monica," because when she began her affair she was a White House intern and a 19 year-old rising sophomore at Wheaton College. (In the book Alford reveals that Sally Bedell Smith was actually the first journalist to contact her--by phone, about a year before the Dallek book came out--and that she declined to speak to her then.)

Alford's story is entirely believable. She was an attractive, naive recent graduate of Miss Porter's School. Miss Porter's was also the alma mater of Jacqueline Kennedy and of a slightly older White House secretary named "Fiddle" with whom Kennedy was also having an affair, or so the First Lady believed--there was also a purported dalliance with Fiddle's close friend "Faddle," a secretary in the press office--and it isn't lost on Alford that this descendant of Boston's lace-curtain Irish had a thing for Social Register girls.

What does the Presidency mean, really? Assume that Hillery had been elected. You have business which takes you tothe White House and the HillaBeast reaches for you.

Even given the age bit, wanna bet your answer would be No, or NO! or H*LL NO - not until after the next Ice Age!

Do remember that she was just an intern, with no contracts to worry about.

I cannot disagree with you about the human sexual urge. It is powerful beyond belief.

But my point is that this was essentially a little girl under the power which is only second to God (in this country).

I will not dispute that you are entitled to your opinion.

My opinion is that she was psychologically raped (by that scum who pretended to be President).

...”(by that scum who pretended to be President).”

Alas, the scum was President.

And the state of affairs in the White House steadily deteriorated, culminating in Obama.

The eventual revelations about Bammy’s Boyz will make JFK seem like a saint, in comparison.

.. Let the engineered Kenedy myths finally now
die. It was all a fantastical mountain of lies.
We were suckered and duped by the negligence
of the good old boy press of the day. We know
the truth is just as distorted and orchestrated
today.

The lamestreams today are asking this woman if
she doesn’t think she should’ve withheld this
information as Caroline is still alive and she’ll
be hurt by it, NOT anything about the clear dark
side of JFK.

The risks he took with his and our safety are
reprehensible.

Historian and JFK biographer Robert Dallek is
right about how dangerous his actions were
(not to mention that additionally he had
unreported serious health issues, taking
strong medications as well as allegedly
recreational drugs). It all could’ve so
dangerously compromised him and the country.
.. leader of the free world. DearLord.

Dallek’s segement is in this video:

(note: it gets graphic)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/46319832#46319723

One thing’s been proven over and over thru time:

the truth ALWAYS comes out.

“Alford believes that Kennedy showed “his darker side ... when we were among men he knew. That’s when he felt a need to display his power over me.” Kennedy didn’t just have a thing for Social Register girls; he had a thing for humiliating Social Register girls. He also had a thing for humiliating his fellow Irishman, Dave Powers.”

JackieO’s Camelot fabrication + Kennedy hero worship = Pffft!

Let the truth of the current monster become revealed
in our lifetimes, please God.

I’m not sure the video above has all Dallek’s remarks about his low opinion of JFK .. but there’s this:

“Dallek told me that Alford’s book “certainly confirms that Kennedy was a compulsive womanizer.” The historian condemned Kennedy’s “disgusting behavior, inexcusable behavior—a 45-year-old man who is president and a 19-year-old intern.”

Dallek added: “It once again raises questions about presidential character. Does it matter? Certainly it matters....After all, a president represents the best of the national character. We don’t expect them to be perfect but we expect them to demonstrate a certain level of decency.”

O, did you watch all the videos?

http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/06/10323677-former-white-house-intern-mimi-alford-reveals-details-of-kennedy-affair

It’s for history and the confirmation of our insights and
instincts about damn dems. Dang if your folks weren’t
right on the money.

I am so tired. I watched the one you linked. I’ll watch the others tomorrow - err I mean later today. UGH. Those media people are still delighted with him. They’re terrible people. Good night, sweet STAR. They aren’t are kind of people. I can’t relate to them.

Right .. the left are still worshipping him.
Ann Curry of NBC is the one who boldly asked
Alford if she thought about how it would hurt
for Caroline. Disgusting, two-faced hypocrites ..
can’t stand any of them. Sleep well .. and long!

Nixon stepped down for far less. Clinton and Kennedy were almost sainted. Good ol boys thought it was expected if not appropriate behavior.

Makes even Edwards look better. At least it was one and he took responsibility for the child.

Thank you for the Ping, Starwise! I've Always Loathed the Kennedys, and Pray the Info about the Intern will Cause Many People to Stop Idolizing them.
With Some Libs, JFK's Activities are just a Resume Enhancement, but Hopefully Others Eyes will be Opened.
Then Kennedys are Guilty of Many Crimes, Including what Happened to Marilyn Monroe.

Touting his new book, "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero," [Chris] Matthews proclaimed: "The greatest heroes are often the most flawed." The Hardball host went on to gush over how Kennedy "colorized American politics....made it a technicolor movie, he made it exciting." In his characteristic fashion, Matthews concluded: "And so with it all, the total picture still arouses the country."

Chris Matthews is still aroused by JFK -- the thrill going up his leg, etc.

Strange looking “part” down the back of JFK’s head.

It’s a MUST see.
How we’ve be played and
disabused of truth ....
Hopefully, lesson learned.
