I can’t get enough of this stuff.

Howie Carr is a long time Boston talk host and columnist.He knows Boston politics,the Kennedys and Whitey Bulger (and his kid brother Billy) cold.

Anyone who's interested can listen to his show from 3-7PM (Eastern) on WRKO (iHeart Radio) or on his own app.

Damore did a great job on this book, virtually the only one to have the guts to look into the matter thoroughly.

Unfortunately, it didn’t get much attention, even at the time. The Kennedys, of course, put on the pressure to downplay it but Damore himself didn’t help. He presented himself terribly in book tour interviews, speaking in a stuttering, halting manner and lacking eye contact. It made for painful interviews, bad TV. Between the pressure and the offputting manner it became easy for producers to turn him down.

Kinda makes the Stormy Daniels story pale in comparison to JFK’s exploits. (Not that the Stormy Daniels story merits any consideration anyway).

He named his dog SPLASH. Must have been in memory of the last sound Mary Jo heard.

Howie is at his best on the Kennedy Syndicate and has been unrelenting in hounding them to the gates of Hell.

His 25th anniversary show from the party cottage on Chappy was genius showmanship and had the bow tied bum kissers on Morrisey Boulevard clutching their pearls for weeks.

RIP Leo Damore and George Parsons

Rich people get away with heinous behavior? Who knew?

“to spike the scandalous true story of Kennedy’s first marriage, to a twice-divorced Protestant socialite in Palm Beach in 1947.”

I am confused-this is the first time I heard of this. Is it true?

Until the Klintoons came along, the Kennedys were the model liberal crime family. And they’ve still got the deepest bench.

The Kennedys’ official fanzine has always been the Boston Globe. Every sixth year, when he was running for reelection, the Globe would run stories about how Teddy was “turning his life around,” and how in an amazing feat of self-discipline, he had totally sworn off alcohol . . .

LOL. I remember those stories in the 1980s and 90s. Teddy was finally cleaning up his act - over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Friends would be quoted on and off the record about how Ted realizes that he has to change. If we were lucky, the article would include a quote from the old lush himself.

Meyer was another fascinating subject—during her affair with JFK, she got into drugs, and had begun visiting LSD guru Dr. Timothy Leary just before the assassination. Less than a year after Dallas, she was mysteriously shot to death while jogging on a canal path in Georgetown.

This seems to happen in our nation's capital with distressing frequency.
