Who is this Klein fellow and where would he get inside information?

My sociology professor used to say that the type of person we marry (or believe we married) reveals a great deal about ourselves.

Had John John run for the NY senate
would Hillary have her launching pad for the oval office?

Psychologically we are supposed to marry our moms in personality. Luckily I didn't :)

Don't forget FReepers:

July 18, 1969

The day Ted killed Mary Jo. 17 days to go to the anniversary.

[Kenny Bunk]

Ted, now in charge of the family's diluted trust fund, may have backed this book as a way to lower the huge wrongful death settlement owed the Bissettes. Settlement is coming up.

"Also Michael Bergin in the Klein book says they carried on their affair while she was married to JFK jr."

So typical of the liberal elitists.

[smiley]

My thoughts exactly.

[SpinyNorman]

Never, never, never let any Kennedy drive any sort of vehicle.

The only reason Ted Kennedy and his congenitally moronic son, Patrick Kennedy, are still alive is that they are too stupid even to Darwinize themselves, although it is not from lack of trying.........

The sister, Lauren, sounded very sweet. Too bad she got on that plane.

Gossip to keep the phony "Camelot" in the news. Some people work very hard to keep the Kennedys connected to the idea of Camelot in the press. Wish they'd stop, die, bury and forget this atrocious, phony scam of an idea.

This is true. I think in JFK jr's case though, he may have married his father. Nevermind that he never knew him, these wierd things happen. I always liked JFK jr. He and Caroline seemed more sensible and well grounded than the rest of them.

Spiny, your post really cracked (no pun intended) me up! Clever, right on and funny!

[mabelkitty]

You are correct. She filed demanded a settlement (Caroline and Teddy wanted to give the mother pennies for her the death of 2 of her 3 daughers) and she refused to buckle.

She filed papers to extend the statute of limitations for the wrongful death lawsuit (apparently the crash investigation point to negligence on John's part) and a settlement was reached - last I heard.

Now I would bet dollars to donuts the settlement had a gag order attached. Hence the book.

And if you think JFK, Jr. was a saint, I've got a bridge to sell you in Manhatan.

Everyone raise their hand who thinks Caroline is planning a run for office of some type, and this is milking the "poor Kennedy" card for all it's worth? Not unlike Shrew Clinton.

[mabelkitty]

Did you ever stop to consider it may have been arranged?

[mabelkitty]

And who did Junior sleep with?

C'mon. We know he did.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for the post and ping.
This is the John Kennedy, Jr. I always think about:

[1Old Pro]

A kennedy / Coumo separation, and now this. What's next...a Ted Kennedy auto biographical confession of his murder of Mary Jo?

[Swede Girl]

"With so MANY eligible and honorable women available to him, one has to wonder why he would choose this unbalanced b!tch."

I agree completely. She did not appear to be wholesome....something was just not right with her.

We all know cases of a nice guy married to a horrible bitch.

Know it??? I'm living it!!!!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Sir. I am. Sorry.

I don't believe in divorce..but in your case....?

My brother. He married. A. Horrible. Adulterous. B....

Glad he's divorced. Now.

My case is different. I married. Only. The. Best.
