The National Enquirer splashes this week with a shocking story about Sen. Ted Kennedy’s secret love child with a Cape Cod woman whom the mag says he dated during his days as a swinging single. According to the tabloid’s source, the boy, named Christopher, just celebrated his 21st birthday and is “mature enough to make his own choices about his background and biological father.” A Kennedy family confidante told the Enquirer, “This is one of the biggest secrets in the Kennedy family and known to only a few people including Ted’s ex-wife, Joan.”
As for the senator, his spokesgal Melissa Wagoner last night called the tabloid tale “irresponsible fiction.” Here’s the story according to the Enquirer: Back in 1983, Kennedy, then 51, took up with Caroline Bilodeau, an attractive brunette, several months before divorcing Joan, the mother of his three kids — Kara, Ted Jr. and Patrick. Bilodeau’s friends told the Enquirer the local lass became so smitten with the senator, she “had dreams about being the next Mrs. Ted Kennedy.” But the love affair came crashing down when Bilodeau told Ted a baby was on the way, the mag reports.

LOL. OK. I'll give you that. Once per decade the Enquirer actually scoops the MSM. Not what I'd call a strong endorsement if you have to go back 10 years to find something they got right.
NE has been sued so often that when they come up with a story like this, its almost a guarantee that its largely true. Carol Burnett hammered the NE for millions, and there was one other case. Since then, they've been bang on the dot.
I'd trust the NE much sooner than the NYT or LAT. That's for sure.
This is HUGE! Talk radio here in Boston has covered it and most of us believe it is true!
Can the kid swim?
It's impossible to embarrass a Kennedy. That's just a fact.
Mag: Ted K’s secret love child a secret no more

Wasn't it mainly gays who used poppers? For years it was impossible to find a first aid kit that was intact. The poppers were even being stolen out of the kits in new cars before the cars were even sold.
Re Teddy - FWIW the rumor around the Cape Cod bar scene was that Teddy used ruffies to nail his targets. A number of women claimed they were sure something had been put in their drink and they passed out, only to awaken...yuck.
