1989 Boston Globe: John Kerry - The Senate's New Romeo?

The Boston Globe Archives | August 22, 1989 | John Robinson

His divorce has been final for only six months, but already Sen. John Kerry has acquired a first-class rake's reputation in the rarefied world of rich, handsome, young bachelor senators.

To hear the gossips tell it, the tall, dark-haired former Navy officer with the surgically improved chin has been cutting a swath through the ranks of America's most available young women, inspiring both admiration and envy among the capital's preening young singles.

There was the lithesome, British-born researcher for ABC-TV, Emma Gilby, whose long affair with Kerry has left her speechless about it. "There's just nothing I want to say about it," she said.

There was also Morgan Fairchild, the movie actress whom Kerry reportedly courted on the Q.T. while dating another woman.

More recently, there was Catherine Oxenberg.

His long love affair with Boston attorney Roanne Sragow collapsed under the weight of repeated press allegations of simultaneous love affairs Kerry was conducting with Sragow and other women, most notably Fairchild

Kerry sounds more like a male version of Blanche DuBois.

I was thinking more like this:

[mikrofon]

The divorce left him strapped for cash…Before finally renting apartments in Washington and Boston, he was a bit of a roamer.

Roam-eo, Roam-eo, wherefore art thou, Roam-eo?

[agite rem mente]

I believe Emma Gilby is the current wife of Bill Keller who is the editor of the NY Times.

John Gigolo Kerry

[CaptainK]

Run around John is 7 years older than Morgan, 9 years older than Patti and 20 years older than Cornelia. Maturity must have lead him to Teresa. Hers, not his.

I can’t help it but to think that this is probably the only time in my life that I agree with Shrillary:

I don’t want Kerry to win either.

Time for a shower.

[tractorman]

Evidently Kerry had more chins than Clinton ‘s Chinese telephone book.

[alloysteel]

By the way, whatever happened to that reporterette he was supposed to have been trifling with, the one that disappeared somewhere in Africa? Did she ever resurface, or is she still in exile?

[OldEagle]

They want us to believe that JFKII was a sleep-around apartment-sharing romeo (as well as a harley rider).
I wonder if he was close to Condit??

[Watery Tart]

Morgan Fairchild, yeah, that's the ticket!

D'oh, ya beat me to it!

Kerry is classically drawn as How a Senator Should Look: He is 6 feet 4 and slim with a helmet of brownish-silver hair, high and knobby cheekbones and a surgically enhanced chin -- not cosmetic surgery, contrary to speculation. (The operation, says Kerry press secretary David Wade, was to correct "a malocclusion," a bad bite that caused a clicking in his jaw.)

Kerry Plagued by Pre-Botox Plastic Surgery Rumors

For Democratic Party front-runner John Kerry, rumors that his appearance has been cosmetically enhanced didn't start with last week's Botox story.

In fact, Kerry has long admitted that he had corrective surgery to his jaw in the 1970s - only he maintains it was to fix a bite malocclusion that he's had since childhood, as aides told The Hill earlier this year.

Or, as Kerry himself told Vanity Fair magazine back in 1996, he had surgery on the area in question after breaking his jaw playing hockey.

Commenting on the Vanity Fair revelation, the Boston Herald noted at the time, "The junior senator used to be a lot more - shall we say - lantern-jawed than he is today."

That same year the Boston Globe noted, "Washington gossip columnists have whispered about Kerry's once-bulging jaw - that he had plastic surgery to make it look more telegenic."

The Globe said Sen. Kerry carries a letter from his plastic surgeon testifying that his jaw surgery was medically necessary.

I don't know about the "surgically improved chin", but Kerry definitely has a glass jaw!

[TommyDale]

The DNA gathered in Condit's "orgy" apartment will tell all.

[pookie18]

Sorry. When there's a Kerry movie, he should be played by either Jon Lovitz (or Joe Isuzu).

[mass55th]

Kerry supposedly had chin surgery many years ago, claiming he had suffered an injury to his chin playing hockey. But everybody knew it was an attempt to try to make himself more marketable.

[mass55th]

"Evidently Kerry had more chins than Clinton ‘s Chinese telephone book."

Oh my God! I just wet my pants over this one!!

[Dan from Michigan]

Kerry definitely has a glass jaw!

ROFL. Can't catch a football either.
