Camelot .... yeah, sure ... more like screwedupalot !
~~PING!
Tiger Woods for President!
As for affairs, they are what they are, seedy and immoral. You can wrap a dead fish in pretty wrapping paper and a bow, but it still stinks.
My wife and I met a Irish woman on a train out of London whose niece had worked in the Kennedy household. According to her niece, the Kennedy’s believed they were royalty and treated the servants accordingly.
Oh no. This is different. Had they been together, Gunilla would have understood JFK’s affair with Marilyn and the East German spy, and Tweedle Deeand Tweedle Dum, the twins. This isn’t sin. This is uh, uh, a love story as deep as uh uh Charlie Sheen’s romantic relationships.
parsy, who is shaking his head
Not surprising ... they must’ve had
the pre-Obama narcissism disease .. LOL.
Poor Gary Hart!
If only he had better flacks like the Kennedys!
This is what political talk has become in our country:
fawning gossip.
A spectator sport, with us filling the stands, passing on
to one another the latest juicy tidbit, even when, like this one, the tidbits are more than half a century old.
The media has been feeding us this junkfood diet for decades, because they have neither the intellect NOR the nerve to do any real reporting/
Their phony Camelot & one of his whores, Gunilla Von Post
Democrats and other progressive people seem to have a very high opinion of themselves and a very low opinion of the rest of us.
The letters chronicle an affair Kennedy had with Gunilla von Post in the early 50s, when he was still a young U.S. Senator. Though it began before his marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier, the affair continued afterwards as well.
The pair met on the French Riviera in the summer of 1953. At the time, he was 36, 15 years her senior. In a letter from June 28, 1954, just after he was married, Kennedy wrote to von Post “I might get a boat and sail around the Mediterranean for two weeks - with you as crew.”
Those plans went south when Kennedy injured his back. Kennedy wrote to von Post when he was recuperating in Manhattan.
“I am still in the hospital after two months. I was terribly disappointed that at the last moment I was not able to come to Europe, especially when you were going to be in Paris and we could have had such a good time … “
He wrote that he was going to see her without fail if she wasn’t “all settled down” by then.
Von Post, now 78, told ABC News’ 20/20 in 1997 that JFK’s letter made her heart go “boom-boom-boom-boom.”
“I was very happy to hear from him, but I said, ‘he’s a married man,’ ” the dowager told 20/20.
She got over it, though. The next year the two shared a tryst at an old castle in Sweden, ABC reported.
“I borrowed him for a week, a beautiful week that no one can take away from me, from that,” she told 20/20. But all good things must end. In the last letter in August 1955, ABC reported that Kennedy wrote, “I just got word today - that my wife and sister are coming here. It will all be complicated the way I feel now - my Swedish Flicka. All I have done is sit in the sun and look at the Ocean and think of Gunilla & All Love, Jack.”
Swedish Flicka?!
Former US president John F. Kennedy had an affair with a Swedish flight attendant, according to a new book based on interviews with current and former Secret Service agents.
According to ex-agent Robert Lutz, President Kennedy took a liking to a Swedish Pan Am Flight attendant who was riding on the press pool airplane which typically follows US presidents while they travel.
While Lutz, who was assigned to the press plane, had initially planned to ask the good looking Swede out for dinner, members of the Secret Service detail assigned to President Kennedy told Lutz to back off.
“She’s part of the president’s private stock,” the head of the president’s Secret Service detail told Lutz, according to an account in the book reported on by the New York Post newspaper.
The book, entitled “In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect”, is written by former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler and set for release on August 4th.
Lutz’s account of Kennedy’s Swedish mistress is one of many tales in the book detailing the late president’s many extramarital escapades.
In addition to the attractive flight attendant from Sweden, Kennedy also shared intimate relationships with Marilyn Monroe as well as the First Lady’s own press secretary.
According to the book, the Secret Service was also aware of threesomes the president had with two other secretaries known as Fiddle and Faddle.
“Neither did much work,” former Secret Service agent Larry Newman said in the book, according to the New York Post.
The new revelations about Kennedy’s Pam Am Swede come more than 10 years after details emerged of another affair he had with a Swedish aristocrat in the weeks leading up to his 1953 marriage to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.
In a 1997 book entitled “Love, Jack”, Swede Gunilla von Post tells of a chance meeting she had with the 35-year-old Kennedy while vacationing in the south of France in August 1953.
According to the memoir, Kennedy referred to the then 21-year-old von Post as “My Swedish Gorilla”, having misunderstood the pronunciation of her first name when he had first met her.
Von Post described the future president as making love “with a surprising innocence” and the two maintained a correspondence for six years, with Kennedy visiting her in Sweden for a week in August 1955.
Gunilla is prettier than Jackie; their noses, hairlines and facial shape look about the same.
I wonder how much America would’ve continued to fawn over JFK if his adultery had been known. America loved Jackie, too, and, back then, adultery still bothered the mainstream Democrats, particularly when two small children were involved.
IMO, Jackie was no better than JFK. They were both phonies.
Wow! How romantic and mesmerizing!! Why, none of the other 30 women he was also shtupping at the time mattered at all, not even his wife. This one mistress he REALLY loved! Wow! He, our King of Camelot, Son of Nazi Rumrunner, Lord of the Ladies! Swoon!
Oh, Georgie, how you WISH it had been you he longed for...
“but long as it’s a Dem !!!”
I’m not convinced that it makes much difference what political party they affiliate themselves with. It’s always been my impression that unsupervised married men have a relatively poor track record re. infidelity. Seems like cat’n around has much to do with wealth and power, and it certainly acts an aphrodisiac for more women than you would imagine (but maybe you can imagine quite a lot). Been like that forever, even before there were political parties.
The difference between donkeys and elephants is how it’s perceived. Dems view it as a resume builder. ‘phants are just more likely to keep quiet about it, but they’ll do it if they get the chance (more the rule than an exception). Power, wealth and loads of opportunity make it drearily common on both sides of the political spectrum.
Sad.
