Jackie Kennedy had a steamy four-year affair with Bobby Kennedy after JFK's assassination, according to a new book. The married senator was the first lady's "true love" and the couple was openly affectionate at family get-aways and social gatherings, according to a new book "Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story." The book also claims it was Jackie who asked doctors to pull the plug on Bobby after he was shot -- not his wife, Ethel....

What is it about the Kennedy family and their private parts?
ruh, roh. this is going to upset a few people.
I’m no fan of either RFK or Jackie O. But how do we know this isn’t salacious gossip?
Why is this kind of gross ?
Why does it have an “incest feel” to it ?
they were never related. but in American Folklore, the Kennedy’s were this perfect family. and the same people who carry their water call Sarah Palin’s family dysfuctional ?
I highly doubt this. I don’t think Jackie played that game. Bobby, perhaps... but not Jackie.
Don’t forget, she married Onassis who was hated by JFK. She did it to get back at him for all the girls like Frick and Frack he was boinking. Howie Carr has some interesting photos of Jackie O at his Fatboy web-site.
So, let me guess — Bobby was the brains behind the JFK assassination.
If you read the article, you see that the book has cites in it from a lot of RFK’s staffers....i.e. Franklin Roosevelt, Jr. - about the affair.
It would be nice if we could let people just rest in peace.
Hey, if brothers can’t share than what is this world coming to.I mean come on, your supposed to keep it in the family, right??
She tell you that, did she?
I have always admired Ethel.
She gave Robert 11 children and although a Democrat, she is strongly pro life, and she never engaged in any romantic relationships with another man following her husband’s death.
Citing her Catholicism, she had said she would never marry again.
That type of value system has been pretty much destroyed.
Sigh...
It has an “incest feel” because a few hundred years ago it would have been considered so. Henry VIII had to get papal dispensation in order to marry Katherine of Aragon who was the widow of his older brother, Prince Arthur. Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” also dealt with the issue - Hamlet’s mother, upon being widowed, married her brother-in-law. And wasn’t there a book called “Thy Brother’s Wife”.....???
Did they witness these two in bed together or just being affectionate and comforting eachother in the wake of the assassination?
I don’t think anybody witnessed Bobby or JFK in bed with MM but evrybody knows they both hit it.
I remember hearing the story when JFK first brought Jackie home to meet the rest of the clan, Jackie said her name is pronounced Jackleen. To which Ethel retorted, “rhymes with queen.”
Ethel had her figured out from the getgo.
Why do I get the sense that this is a set up for Teddy’s passing. He might not look so bad compare to his other dysfunctional brethren given this latest story. Too bad it was at least a manslaughter charge he beat.
It has long been “accepted rumor” that Bobby and Jackie “comforted” each other for quite a while after the President’s death.
This is not new.
