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.
“Caroline announced to the family that she was two months pregnant around May 1984,” blabbed a Bilodeau confidante. “Ted was not happy about the news. He already had three kids with Joan and knew a baby out of wedlock could hurt him politically.”
According to the Enquirer, the scandal-scarred senator begged Bilodeau to have an abortion, but she refused.
“He told her he couldn’t undergo another scandal — not after Chappaquiddick, not so close to his divorce from Joan” said the source. “He was very angry when she defied him and had the child.”
During her pregnancy, Caroline’s friends noticed the unemployed young woman who lived with her parents bought a black Mustang convertible, an expensive Shar-pei puppy and moved into her own apartment.
Kennedy could rape little children and eat African-Americans for lunch and the people of Massachusetts would still vote for him.
I get my nails done every two weeks and my feet every month. One of the great things about this is that I get to read these mags.
And wouldn't it be great if the dead people failed to vote in this election?
I swear, Ted should change his name to Teflon.
"Boston Herald quotes the National Equirer. Amazing!"
More amazing is the fact that it's entirely believable.
Yes, we must ask how many philandering politicians have supported a "woman's right" to murder her baby because they have faced actual or imagined consequences of their irresponsible, immoral behavior??? Pols like Teddy K. know from a young age that they are constantly at risk of fathering children out of wedlock, and they want to ensure the "availability" of a last-resort method of disposing of the unwanted child they have created. It's not about concern for the women at all when we are talking about sleazebags like Teddy K., John Kerry, Bill Clinton, et al.
Ted can't tell the difference between fact and fiction even when he's sober (which doesn't seem too often).
C'mon folks, he was 51 at the time; it was just a youthful indiscretion! </sarc>
Anti-Liberal Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
Reporter: Senator Kennedy, how do you feel about the abortion bill?
Chappaquiddick Ted: I guess I'll just have to pay it.
Reporter: President Clinton, what about the rumors that there have been cocaine parties at the White House?
Slick Willie: I don't believe a word of it! (snorting)
Cheers!
Not ALL people in MA!!!!!
Yeah. A new drinking buddy. They can chase the girls and go swimming together.
LOL, but they eat brains instead of using them, right?
spokesgal?
OK, there are some "normal" people still living in Massachusetts. LOL
A mind IS a terrible thing to waste on Franken.
The article refers to "his swinging single days" and goes on to say "before his divorce from Joan". Which was it? His swinging single days were long, long ago and would make any child older than 21 years of age. I don't even want to think of that monster "swinging" except from a rope.
If Ted survived a dead girl in a drunk driving accident, he'll survive an out of wedlock kid who is now 21. Look at Jesse Jackson's love child story. JJ's still preening in $1,000 suits and a full payroll. The moppet hasn't been seen of late.
