Marilyn Monroe called Jackie Kennedy at the White House and confessed she was having an affair with her husband, to which the First Lady responded 'that's great... I'll move out and you'll have all the problems,' according to an explosive new book.
In 'These Few Precious Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie,' author Christopher Andersen claims Jackie 'knew everything' about Jack's cheating and turned a blind eye, but his relationship with Marilyn 'seemed to bother her the most.'
And she was right to fear the bombshell actress, because Marilyn's sights were firmly set on becoming the President's second wife.

Pretty much the MO for a husband stealer. When the husband wont leave the wife for her she calls the wife hoping SHE will end the marriage so the skank can step in and profit from everything the wife spent years building. The question is why are men too stupid to get this??
Jack was the best of the bunch (we’ll never know about Joe). Bobby and Teddy both had the same disease.
She wasn’t exactly broke herself. Didn’t they have Secret Service protection?
As you can tell I am not a Jackie fan, I am also not a fan of John-John who flew into the sea probably under the influence of drugs and definitely stupid for flying in a new plane with instruments he did not know how to use. Nor of Caroline our new incompetent Ambassador to japan.
“But for his head exploding in Dallas, JFK would be considered one of the worst presidents in the country’s history.”......
No doubt Kennedy deserves to be on such a list but we all know, any future presidents will never be WORSE than odumbo. Odumbo will be at the top of the heap forever and I doubt there will ever be one worse.
“Kennedy(s) wonderful, marvelous! Yaaaaaa! Sis boom bah!”
“Nixon eeeevil incarnate. CROOK! Boooooo!”
“Excellent, my boy, add Obama to the first statement and that’s all you need to know.
You’re hired. You will make an EXCELLENT journalist!”
I heard an interview of Johnson’s mistress of 27 years on a radio station in the mid-90’s. She said he had people killed, but it was just “business” and he was still a good man. Talked about a meeting at a hotel suite in Dallas the day before RFK was killed, with a number of men in suits. IIRC she said he told her after the men left, “after tomorrow, Bobby Kennedy won’t be a problem any more”. All those people (and the people who took their places) were evil. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I agree with your Assessment.
There may not be many coming after Obama to judge that by.
He has pretty much put us into a mess we cannot get out of.
One more like him such as Hillary and we will be a part of a Global Government run by the UN and no longer a Sovereign country.
Very true. JFK gets credit for things that IKE or LBJ did, and all of his failings are glossed over.
The media of the day managed to take a silver-spoon, incompetent young man's war story, and turn him into a naval war hero. Getting a high speed torpedo boat run over by a destroyer, because the crew is sleeping, is at best dereliction of duty.
His perceived weakness caused the Cuban Missile Crisis. After it started the U.S. hardline position was hitting the sites and hitting them hard, yet JFK's concessions are treated in the history books as him having a spine of steel.
In those days, everybody wore a suit.
One of the many JFK conspiracy theories place Johnson at the center for he absolutely hated the President and the Attorney General. He was a jealous and vindictive man in the same way that Hoover was. He had the motive, power and the means to knock off JFK, RFK, Marilyn and even MLK.
I am not saying he took out all of them but I am sure he took out or approved, very much, the elimination of JFK and RFK.
Your comment is not nice. He may have been a mediocre President but he inspired a nation and world and was then murdered...
What went on behind the scenes was bad but the press played along.
I graduated from Andover with John-John.
He did drugs, but not any more than the other kids at the school. I don’t think he did anything harder than pot.
Not a bad kid. Sort of hard to get to know him closely, but he seemed to be rather apolitical. Not very bright though; solid rumors, from several sources, suggest that he received special considerations that got him past some bad math grades (”you can’t fail a President’s son”)
you make a point. BTW not a Kennedy fan either, just repeating something I read a long time ago.
I’m sorry....
...Why is this important?
Why all the nonsense about Marilyn Monroe? I thought Angie Dickinson was better looking and she has kept her mouth shut (and stayed alive) - the perfect mistress for a politician.
My Dad has long maintained that, from a legacy standpoint, being assasinated was the best thing that ever happened to JFK.
Then why did LBJ not run for a second term in 1968? It must have been due to more than just one primary loss & public revulsion over the Vietnam war. Putting Hubert Humphrey on the ticket must have seemed like sheer desperation to Johnson.
And less than five years after RFK was assassinated, LBJ died, a downfallen & prematurely aged man.
She didn't need Jack Kennedy to have a "rich and famous" lifestyle; she had the pleasures of an upper-class lifestyle before Jack came along, and she certainly didn't want fame or public attention. But you must recall that half a century ago it would have been a problem for a prominent Catholic couple to divorce. You may recall Ted Kennedy's prolonged marital spectacle as he tried to get an annulment and divorce. Many women back then turned a blind eye to philandering no matter how much grief it caused them, for various reasons.
He would have gotten a pass. I think his drugs were prescription, even though a heavy painkiller included. The media would not have made a big deal out of it.
Is he the one who failed the bar exam? Did he ever pass?
And, today, we have Huma and Anthony. Even our sex scandals aren’t as juicy as when I was a kid.
