MSNBC host Chris Matthews told The Daily Caller that he would still consider John F. Kennedy a hero and still would have written his new book “Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero” if his daughter had been one-time White House intern Mimi Alford.
Alford recently wrote “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath” about an affair she says started when she was 19 years old. In the book she claims Kennedy took her virginity and then asked her to perform oral sex on his aides.
TheDC caught up with Matthews on Monday at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C., and asked if he would still revere Kennedy if his daughter, or perhaps a close friend, experienced what Alford had.

(Pause now for Chris Matthews patented spit-take.)
I guess he didn’t get that tingly feeling up his leg. I bet he whished that He had given Jack the Oral work.....
How is JFK a hero?
He got us into a disastrous fiasco in Cuba that got 5000 killed and ended in a miserable failure - this in his first 100 days in office.
He followed that up by sending 17,000 boys into Vietnam and we know how that brainstorm ended... he got whacked and his handpicked successor, LBJ continued his policy getting more than 60,000 American boys killed and more than a million asians killed for nothing... a monumental failure of unprecedented proportions...
All that while he was molesting girls in the Whitehouse...
Some hero.
The Kennedy’s are all scum.
I have no problem believing her accusation. It is in the Kennedy DNA.
No kidding. He’s just jealous of Mimi.
As much as I despise Chrissy, there is nothing in the body of that post that supports that headline.
JFK is a very typical democrat hero!!!
Why would Chris Matthews write a book? He answered a great question with a dumb question. Mimi Alford actually knew the man, Chris Matthews never met the man!
To keep ‘Camelot’ alive (in his mind) since we all now know it was a media illusion.
Try and find one legislative success while JFK was president. He was admired but over-rated and accomplished nothing.
Good book title. Any heroism in the real JFK is elusive. The man was a liberal scum, who treated women like dirt and did a terrible job with almost everything that happened in his brief presidency. He was a slightly better person than Bill Clinton and a much better leader than Barack Obama, but that is not saying much.
“Shut Up!”, he explained.
What is it with those people? This is just in from yahoo about Strauss Kahn who seems to have another problem. From his lawyer:
“”People are not always clothed at these parties. I challenge you to tell the difference between a nude prostitute and a classy lady in the nude,” Leclerc recently told French radio.”
Nothing revealing here. Chris Matthews considers Bill Ayers and Van Jones heroes.
We know that such attitudes are real, hard as it may be for use to believe. Just look at how Monica's parents rolled over on receiving the News about their hero, Bill Clinton, taking similar advantage of their darling daughter.
The Official Liberal Definition of a Hero:
1.) Must be involved in the sale and profit of controlled substances. (JFK’s family fortune came from his father’s rum-running business during prohabition. Bill Clinton was involved in cocaine smuggling while governor of Arkansas.)
2.) Must be a serial rapist or predator of young girls and women. (JFK and Bill Clinton)
3.) Must have numerous sexual affairs while still married. (JFK and Bill Clinton)
4.) Must be a closeted homosexual muslim that uses cocaine. (Barry Sotero)
The headline is a lie. Not in the video either.
We need not become like liberals.
From 91% to 70%. 70% is still highway robbery - but it was a big step.
I find it amusing that the most popular recent President on the left reduced taxes, and the most popular recent President on the right reduced taxes.
Hmmmm. What did those two men have in common?
“How is JFK a hero?
He got us into a disastrous fiasco in Cuba that got 5000 killed “
That’s too kind. He CAUSED the Bay of Pigs fiasco. CIA said from the beginning the invasion was doomed without air cover. Kennedy said, “I promise you will have air cover”. CIA did not trust Kennedy and the agent in charge called Kennedy when training was complete and they were preparing to launch and got same answer, “You WILL have air cover”. It wasn’t until they were on the beach and dying Kennedy told the desperate insurgents, “Sorry, it isn’t politically expedient to involve US aircraft”.
“All that while he was molesting TEENAGE girls in the Whitehouse...”
A real scumbag. He RAPED that girl basically. So she didn’t struggle. He was the most powerful man in the world and her boss.
Let’s not forget either that PT-109 was lost to gross incompetence. He may have acted heroically after it was lost but I suspect that story is also manufactured. PT-109 was the only PT boat lost due to collision with the enemy in WWII.
Some hero.
The Kennedy’s are all scum.
I’ve said it before, any time a Kennedy dies the country becomes a better place.
