One disappointment was that he neglected to schedule a motorcade through Dallas for Nov. 22, 1995. Perhaps Memphis or Nashville would've been more appropriate (V.P. Algore's home state).
Anyway, I can only guess he found the right combination of hallucinogens to make Hillary look like Jackie.
I use to have an aunt that was a secretary at the WH during the Kennedy years and she alluded to pretty much the same thing.
Soon we'll hear JFK was a groper in the cradle.
Kindly read my post #49.
Dude, are you hungry?
Claim, maybe, true, no.
JFK was on drugs, but not recreational. The most reliable information I have found shows that both Jackie and John were kept 'high' on methamphetamines by the White House Physician. This was in an effort to allow them to handle the demands of being President. At the time, amphetamines and their derivatives had not the negative connotation they do today. The President being kept "UP" by meth injections was likely considered no worse than mouthfuls of 'bennies' and black beauties the truck drivers were taking.
Jackie had to be hospitalized several times due to 'overexhaustion'( Known today as tweaking too long, and crashing.)
Well said.
In 1963, an organization existed that could arrange the assasination of the President of the United States and orchestrate a cover-up that included the participation of the Warren Commission and the FBI.
I wonder if a group that powerful is still around or did they disband voluntarily?
Did he have Addison's Disease or not?
If you don't know, don't ask me. Do your own research.
Addison's disease presents itself in impotence, early-on and progressive.
It's been written for 30 years that JFK had advanced Addison's Disease which was diagnosed in his youth.
It begs the question...was this supposed serial philanderer impotent? If so, the Rat Pack had lots more fun than he did.
Facts so often get in the way when the topic is JFK.
This article is just more Necrophilia-chic.
In additon to Addisons Disease,he was also pretty debilitated with back problems incurred during the war.People don't seem to realize that he was not a popular president until he died and the press was always looking for problems. They constantly carped about how we should have been told that he had many physical disabilities that made him unfit for the grueling rigors of the office of president. I recall that he had an old physical therapist who had to provide therapy treatments for his back and he never bent down and picked up his kids. Certainly a person like him would have been aware of the publicity value of some great pics holding his little kids,giving them piggy back rides etc. I never saw them.
I would bet my bottom dollar that had Chelsea not been a tall and "solid" thirteen year old both Bill and Hilary would have tried to cuddle and carry her in their arms for a little "family face" time.
IMO This is only to mitigate the damages that the new ads running about all of Kennedy's conservative policies will do.
Oh brother! Kennedy was diagnosed with Addison's in 1947. He fathered Caroline Kennedy in 1957 and John Jr in 1960 -- the year of his election to president.
"Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases, the hormone aldosterone."
"The symptoms of adrenal insufficiency usually begin gradually. Chronic, worsening fatigue and muscle weakness, loss of appetite, and weight loss are characteristic of the disease."
"Treatment of Addison's disease involves replacing, or substituting, the hormones that the adrenal glands are not making."
was this supposed serial philanderer impotent?
Obviously not in 1960, 13 years after being diagnosed with Addison's.
Like I said, next time do your own research and then you won't have to make a fool of yourself. You are dismissed.
