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.
Shes part of the presidents private stock, the head of the presidents 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.
Lutzs account of Kennedys Swedish mistress is one of many tales in the book detailing the late presidents 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 Ladys 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 Kennedys 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.
I’ve not read a lot about that particular case. I have in my “to read” pile this book which I suspect will mention the case:

The odds are Mary was victim of what we today would call the ‘thug culture.’ If JFK or his handlers snuffed all the women he slept with, it would have depleted the supply for years.
Want to trade presidents? A Kenyan for a tall blonde?”
- Hej!
Well, we have already agreed to let you borrow Bo “Mr. fix it” Lundgren, former leader of the Swedish Conservatives (the party presently governing my nation, together with some smaller allied ones) and one of the inventors of the stress tests, for some time.

However, I wonder if Obama actually understands that what has worked very well in Sweden since the crisis of the early 1990s is REDUCING public spending and REDUCING the government's influence over the economy.
Much sexier pics of Gunilla here;

LOL! Ein Berliner?
Those are the two books I can never find in my library: Women JFK Didn’t Date, and Women BJC Didn’t R***. They’re so thin I can’t read the titles on the spines.
Very funny!
I wouldn’t be surprised if JFK had a sexual encounter with Helen. She was a lot younger then and JFK wasn’t picky.
“However, I wonder if Obama actually understands that what has worked very well in Sweden since the crisis of the early 1990s is REDUCING public spending and REDUCING the government’s influence over the economy”
No, the Kenyan doesn’t know that and America is going to have to relearn it. Unfortunately, we will have a lot of suffering in the meantime.
I am confident that we will ride out this dark chapter of American history entitled The Kenyan Imposter. America isn’t going to like being poor.
That’s a heck of a write-up on Wiki about her!
Well, that takes the cake. JFK was a satyr if he had anything to do with HT.
Exactly. abandonment, rage, REVENGE!
Everyone dont forget to look at yesterdays thread by
BP2: Kenyan Birth Certificate - 1964 Divorce Timeline
put that in the seach.
It had 12,135 views. I think BP2 explained all of this
very well. Makes sense to me....
A blast from the past.

Stolen from Salvation on the referenced thread.
JFK’s demise had nothing to do with his being democratically elected and more with the oft double-crossed “insider” associates and enemies he and his twirp brother RFK made along the way.
“...heck of a write-up on Wiki about her...”
Being the Prez’s mistress is one thing but she was very aggressive if the Wiki source is correct that she transported drugs with her into the White House. Would JFK be that much into illegal drugs?
Maybe JFK only licked the sugar cube and didn’t swallow it.
Enought! Stop spamming!

- My family is fortunate to know some people in the former DDR.
Whenever we get together, we always have great fun and one of the things these Germans love bringing to topic is when JFK visited Germany back in the 1960’s and told all of them he was a Berliner - (from Wikipedia;) “a doughnut made from sweet yeast dough fried in fat or oil, with a marmalade or jam filling and usually icing, powdered sugar or conventional sugar on top”.
Hahaha, welcome to Europe!
That is SO wrong on so many levels.
