Former US president John F. Kennedy had an affair with a Swedish flight attendant, according to a new book based on interviews with current and former Secret Service agents.
According to ex-agent Robert Lutz, President Kennedy took a liking to a Swedish Pan Am Flight attendant who was riding on the press pool airplane which typically follows US presidents while they travel.
While Lutz, who was assigned to the press plane, had initially planned to ask the good looking Swede out for dinner, members of the Secret Service detail assigned to President Kennedy told Lutz to back off.
“She’s part of the president’s private stock,” the head of the president’s Secret Service detail told Lutz, according to an account in the book reported on by the New York Post newspaper.
The book, entitled “In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect”, is written by former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler and set for release on August 4th.
Lutz’s account of Kennedy’s Swedish mistress is one of many tales in the book detailing the late president’s many extramarital escapades.
In addition to the attractive flight attendant from Sweden, Kennedy also shared intimate relationships with Marilyn Monroe as well as the First Lady’s own press secretary.
According to the book, the Secret Service was also aware of threesomes the president had with two other secretaries known as Fiddle and Faddle.
“Neither did much work,” former Secret Service agent Larry Newman said in the book, according to the New York Post.
The new revelations about Kennedy’s Pam Am Swede come more than 10 years after details emerged of another affair he had with a Swedish aristocrat in the weeks leading up to his 1953 marriage to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.
In a 1997 book entitled “Love, Jack”, Swede Gunilla von Post tells of a chance meeting she had with the 35-year-old Kennedy while vacationing in the south of France in August 1953.
According to the memoir, Kennedy referred to the then 21-year-old von Post as “My Swedish Gorilla”, having misunderstood the pronunciation of her first name when he had first met her.
Von Post described the future president as making love “with a surprising innocence” and the two maintained a correspondence for six years, with Kennedy visiting her in Sweden for a week in August 1955.
Tim Dalton has let hiself go.
The Kennedy’s, ALL OF ‘EM, are scum.
“This guy has some sexual appetite.”
And he had the prerequisites to satisfy it: wealth, handsomeness and free time
I unfortunately have none of these. But I do have a sense of humor!
Oh, how I wish the person in question would have been Christine Jorgensen.
“I think that those of us American women who did not have an affair with JFK should form a club”
Clinton joke...
A 1000 women were surveyed and asked Would you have sex with bill Clinton?
25% said no
25% said yes
50% said never again
JFK set a bar that his nephews and cousins have been trying to match ever since - and not succeeding.
- Yes, I'm aware there are many people who claim such things. Personally I have no opinion.
The US is a very large nation (not compared to China perhaps but at least to my nation, Sweden, where accusations of election frauds are extremely rare).
I'm also well aware there probably were lots of ties between the Democrats and the American Maffia at that time, something I believe never could have happened in a country like Germany, Sweden or the UK.
On the other hand, a lot of people in predominantly Protestant countries like the Northern European ones claim that our PC media has too much of power in my part of Western Civilization.
In Swedish, British and German newspapers, critical opinions regarding for instance homosexuality and Islam are seldom tolerated.
Blame Calvinism and its belief in "collective guilt" for this phenomenon. I know that Calvin did have some influence on Evangelical Lutheranism in Sweden and Germany, despite resistance to JC among prominent Lutheran theologians.
It should also be pointed out that both electoral turnout and electoral integrity are strongest in those portions of the US settled by Scandanavians (Minnesota, Iowa, outer Wisconsin, etc.). They (generally) tend to be lowest in regions of the country settled by Catholics and blacks.

- Great one!
I must remember to tell that one to all of my friends etc. I've already told it to my father (we have been enjoying some crayfish and “snapps” together this evening - things we Swedes traditionally feast on during the month of August a lot).
Best of regards from Scandinavia!
The “classy” Caroline must be so proud.
This is why we are so grateful for our Constitution and Bill of Rights. And we will defend it with our lives.
He CHEATED his way into the Presidency...the CHICAGO way!
“Best of regards from Scandinavia! “
Hej!
Want to trade presidents? A Kenyan for a tall blonde?
LBJ had a better motive...>POWER!
Well I read through the article at your link. What is your take on the Mary Meyer case? Do you hold any chance that she was shut up???...or did she just run into one of those bad criminals that once can find easy enough in the greater DC area?
- Interesting.
Thanks for always contributing with intelligent and well informed posts to threads I start.
My impression is that Scandinavian immigrants to America often are viewed as honest, law abiding but also somewhat naive.
I guess this more or less is the truth concerning Scandinavians at large.
But luckily enough, there is a limit also to things like Swedish tolerance.
One example of this is how 95% of my country was outraged about the minority of retarded Swedish leftists who claimed that “America has itself to blame for 9/11” some years ago (shortly after the attack on WTC).
There are a lot of things to say about Scandinavian political correctness, but at least we Scandinavians know wrong from right.
” Kennedy and Clinton, were both a psychiatrist’s dream. Each were deeply troubled and emotionally disturbed men that exhibited character flaws in the extreme,”
Thats why the lefties idolize them.. Many lefties are loons themselves, and want to make the abnormal seem normal.
We see more and more of this each year with the film industry pushing the envelope, and the MSM highlighting otherwise abnormal behavior in their reporting.
