Author says JFK had affair with 19-year-old intern

Based on the testimony of one person and the desperation of an author to promote his book? Call me cynical.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your ignorance of medicine equals your vapid reading comprehension and grasp of history. (But I'm sure you dance very well and might even be able to parallel-park.)

If JFK was diagnosed in 1947 with a debilitating auto-immune disease that resulted in impotence, I doubt he was the stud-muffin they've speculated.

Of course you're aware being impotent does not preclude one from having children. It just makes it a lot less fun to initiate, and the odds of having a big family are not so hot.

I've been on these threads before; so have you. With the new book coming out soon by that noted Presidential historian, "Frank Sinatra's Butler," I'm sure we'll bump keyboards again.

You're a vital part of the agenda, after all.

I know that Republicans are not exactly pure as the driven snow, but what is it with Democratic males? They can't seem to keep their pants up.

[Let's Roll]

I can't speak for the others, but I am one who does not believe the 19 year old intern story. I thought my post was clear on that. Please don't lump me in with the others when you are passing out the insults.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your post was clear and correct.

I pinged you (and the others) because it gets lonely on these let's-nuke-JFK threads, and I like to keep track of those who have the good sense, intelligence and compassion to agree with me. 8~)

And she tried to convince him that tax cuts were a bad thing.

Thanks for the clarification!

[UCANSEE2]

Thank You. Of course, maybe you were being sarcastic and forgot the : ) !!!!!!!! Either way thanks for your response. We all have certain methods of getting information, and all are sure what we know is the truth. It is very likely no one of us knows the whole truth, about this or anything.

JFK intern admits all
City church worker, 60, says, 'I was the Mimi'

It's much easier for the Clinton Legacy Rebuilders to tear down JFK, than to make Clinton respectable.

It's much easier to bail out the Pacific Ocean with an eyedropper than to make Clinton respectable.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Thanks for the link to another "41-year-old secret" that someone just had to tell.

I take all of it with a grain of salt since researching Judith Exner and learning she wasn't the randy gunmoll she was painted to be. Exner was the rich, well-bred, conntected daughter of German nationals with lots of secrets of her own.

There's always more to these stories than they want us to know.

In this case, I think Addison's disease and 41 years of silence and Clinton's need for rehabilitation trump some questionable 60-year-old intern's sudden catharsis.

[Revenge Of Daffy-Duck]

No sarcasm intended! I come here to learn, as well as to speak my mind. Again, thanks for the help.

Adios!

You are either a kook or a crank -- in either case no amount of evidence can dissuade you from your preconceived notions.

Kennedy was well known by the press to have had multiple affairs. In this case this "intern" was first described in 1964 and recorded on paper in an interview with Barbara Gamarekian, a White House aide. Thirty nine years later the documented interview is released from the White House records and Gamarekian verifies she said it. Then someone finds "Mimi" Marion Fahnestock (nee Beardsley) and she also confirms she did have an affair with Kennedy.

So we have hundreds if not thousands of JFK contemporaries who knew of his exploits, aides who committed such observations to paper right after his assassination, and now some of those involved in the affairs admit as much.

But oh, no -- crank/kook Dr. Eckleburg knows better -- on the theory that since some diabetics are blind, all diabetics must be blind, the kook Dr. Ecklburg claims that since some Addison's disease sufferers are impotent, all Addison's disease sufferers must be impotent. The logic of a kook.

You are, for the second time, dismissed.

But did he deny it under oath after getting dragged into court for sexual harrassment?

I don't think the concept of "sexual harrasment" had been invented yet. I don't think the Kennedy's would have blinked twice at the idea of trashing anyone that got in their way.

[Henchman]

...that's the Degeneratic way!

[liberalnot]

the "facination with things kennedy" would go away if the truth had been allowed to come out, and she doesn't seem to want to help that either.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Name-calling now, eh? Four "kooks" and two "cranks" in one post?

You're a master of the language.

Read more history and watch less reruns of "Saved By the Bell."
