But Gingrich is unfit to be president?

Yes. And it has nothing to do with his serial adultery. Keep digging...perhaps something catty about Grover Cleveland might do the trick. There's always the wink-wink, nudge-nudge yarns about the real reason Andrew Johnson was impeached. (that should keep him busy for the rest of the day)

Reads more like a porn novel, and she's a retired church administrator? Sounds like she wants to make some quick money or a lonely old lady.Always makes me wonder when stories come out so long after and can't be defended or denied by the person who has passed.

"Paramour of Kennedy Is Writing a Book
Published: May 22, 2009

After Kennedys assassination, Ms. Alford married Anthony Fahnestock, an investment manager. Their marriage ended in divorce, and Mr. Fahnestock died in 1993.

According to Mr. Reiter, Ms. Alford is not writing a tell-all memoir. "She's just not that type of person, where shes going to spill her guts about intimate stuff for the whole country to see," Mr. Reiter said.

"The story has three acts to it: before the White House, during the White House, and then the really powerful part is what happens afterwards. What's the impact on your family life, your marriage, knowing that this happened to you in your early life and you have chosen to keep it a secret."

Mr. Reiter said Ms. Alford would be working with a co-author and hoped to finish a manuscript this fall. Ms. Mercandetti said Random House had not yet set a publication date"

she was invited by an aide to go for a midday swim in the White House pool, where the handsome, 45-year-old president swam daily to ease chronic back pain. JFK slid into the pool and floated up to her. "It's Mimi, isn't it?"

Wonder where the aide got the idea to invite her.

*rolls eyes*

Oh Jack, you were always such a horn dog.

It's almost like he knew he was gonna die young and he got all the pussy he could before he went.

But Gingrich is unfit to be president?

Yes.

On every level imaginable.

Jack Kennedy seducing and taking the virginity of a 19 yo blue blood intern is reprehensible to be sure as were his other extra marital affairs but Kennedy never claimed to be a champion of family values either.

Gingrich goes beyond serial adulterer and well into unabashed hypocrite and deadbeat dad territory.

He's also legendarily corrupt and a historical revisionist.

Gingrich simply does not have one decent attribute to recommend him for the job of POTUS.

Another thing he doesn't have is a chance of winning the nomination.

He's running purely out of spite and ego at this point.

Bless his heart.

Be Well.

Seems a bit sketchy in the documentation department.

Gingrich's unsuitability to be president has more to do with his overall hypocrisy and over-heated behavior (not just his fucking around outside of his marriage).

Nice try, and do feel free to try again when you find an arrow or two for your dilapidated quiver.

Seems a bit sketchy in the documentation department.

True, but as an admirer of JFK I have to admit that it's consistent with other accounts of his sexual horndoggery. The anecdote about getting her to blow his buddy is really exceptionally seedy.

To me, Gingrich's unfitness for the presidency has nothing to do with his serial adultery. But he was an enormous hypocrite for ripping President Clinton over family values while banging his mistress for six years behind his wife's back.

Some conservatives think Gingrich went soft on Clinton's impeachment after a private meeting with the president because Clinton told him he knew about the affair with Callista.

Shhhh DOC! Yes, this article proves that Newt's philandering would make him an excellent president. Go Newt!

In Corky's link, the New York Times reports the affair as a fact: "Ms. Alford's secret was initially divulged six years ago when a biography of Kennedy was published with portions from a 1964 oral history that described the president's 18-month sexual affair with a young intern named Mimi Beardsley. The Daily News tracked her down and discovered that she was Marion Fahnestock, who was divorced, working for the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church and living in Manhattan. At the time, she gave a short statement confirming that she was 'involved in a sexual relationship' with Kennedy from June 1962 to November 1963."

What some people won't do for the money.

I will never knock someone for writing a book with the truth about the events of their own life, regardless of whether they do it to make money. She has the right to tell her story.

I don't see a problem with this. She was young and hot. He was wealthy and powerful. And Jackie never found out. What is the problem? I say "well done Mr. President".

Too bad that doesn't apply to doctors as well.

So this virgin intern quickly jumps into bed with JFK, blows some random guy in front of the President and has an 18 month affair and it ends with everybody happy?

Geez, what's not to believe? Maybe she can do another book about where Saddam hid his WMD? After all, Saddam is just as dead as JFK, Powers and Teddy.

Geez, what's not to believe?

.
.....in those days, the personal lives of politicians were rarely reported on.....lots of journalists knew about randy JFK, and queer J. dgar Hoover, but they self-censored back then........

Everybody knows JFK was absolutely loyal to Jackie. Besides, it was before DNA. Clinton was loyal to Hillary also...the DNA was contaminated.

Good thing JFK didn't smoke cigars

.........ahhh......but he did.......

Skinny ones...well she WAS as virgin.

Seymour Hersch in his book "The Dark Side of Camelot" outlines a lot of the pervert JFK's escapades. In fact he mentions the event at Bing Crosby's desert ranch and it's one of the more humorous events in the book. JFK and "Camelot" were a MSM concoction. It's really encouraging that we have a counter-balance today with the cable outlets. The MSM continue to lose their influence on the American people since over time it's become obvious they were a shill for the demoratic party and the left. They'll never regain the position they once had unless they make an attempt to be "fair and balanced".

So this virgin intern quickly jumps into bed with JFK, blows some random guy in front of the President and has an 18 month affair and it ends with everybody happy?

Back then it was expected that the media would cover up the sexual shenanigans of politicians. It wasn't until Rep. Wilbur Mills was caught with the stripper who dove into the Tidal Basin in 1974 that the rules started to change.

True, but as an admirer of JFK

Rcade is an example of many Americans who are impressionable and directed and propangandized in their thought processes by the MSM. JFK was a self-absorbed pervert that didn't give a damn about his wife and kids. His behavior was excused by some because of the steroids he allegedly took to control his Addison's Disease. He also came from a father that was corrupt as the day is long. It's a blessing to this country that the Kennedy name is slowly dying out on the political landscape. When you really delve into history, Kennedy through his shenanigans put this country at tremendous risk. He ultimately capitulated to the Russians on the Cuban crisis affair by agreeing to a quiet deal to remove our capabilities from Turkey in return to the Russians vacating Cuba.

JFK is the most popular president of the past half century:

That is the problem with this book. It's easy to produce a book with salacious tidbits about someone famous that is long dead. Especially if you're in need of a financial injection. I wouldn't waste my time supporting someone like this by buying the book. Even if true, it shows a woman with a weak will whether when she was in her teens and now in her sixties.

"Eighty-five percent of all Americans approve of the way Kennedy handled his job as president, ranking him first among all the presidents who have served in the White House in the last half-century," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

His personal life is irrelevant. He was a great leader.

I could care less what 85% of the American people feel. This guy was so over-hyped by the media so it doesn't surprise me. Also, it depends on how the poll was crafted. Furthermore, when one is assassinated, it adds to the cult-like status. I'll say it again, when you delve into the risk JFK put this country into and not all the hype, aura, and sycophanting of the press, he was not that great a president. And I might add, the personal life is relevant----one of the reasons I would never support Gingrich---but then again, rcade and 85% of the country probably should.

.....knowing what we know about JFK, it's entirely plausible......

From his side, absolutely. I just don't buy the virgin/slut overnight thing. Unless, of course, JFK was a std like me. ;)

Hey, rcade, check this poll out instead of the CNN poll.

"The fact that I was being desired by the most famous and powerful man in America only amplified my feelings to the point where resistance was out of the question," Alford writes.

If power weren't an aphrodisiac then Henry Kissinger would still be a virgin.

Be Well.

At least JFK didn't fill dumpsters with womens body's like his dad and little brother did.

So there's that...

This is one of those things that would drive feminists crazy, had it been a Republican.

But those Kennedys. Pro-choicers all. Just like Clinton. So they can literally get away with manslaughter and rape, and the feminists will roll over and ask for another. Amazing.

At least JFK wasn't a rentboy's cum dumpster like Dumya was.

Yeah, they must just laugh at the feminists and then go and abuse women more and say the right things and the feminists crawl right back in bed with them. These guys are the Bernie Madoff's of the political scene. That's why I love the left. The hypocrisy, duplicity, and inconsistencies are a thing to behold.

It was not a 'try,' doc. If you actually read you would find my posts saying I do not like Gingrich. He is overheated and an outright megalomaniac....which means he is a politician.
Nice try. Maybe you might find an arrow or two for your pathetic quiver.

"His personal life is irrelevant. He was a great leader."

So why not apply the same logic to those with whom you disagree, Rcade? I could care less about what JFK, Gingrich or Clinton did with their dicks. You seem to care only when it is one with whom you disagree on economics or the Constitution.

I will never knock someone for writing a book with the truth about the events of their own life, regardless of whether they do it to make money. She has the right to tell her story.

Agreed.

But I reserve my right to comment that her (their) prose sounds like Scooter "Bear" Libby was the co-author.

"I could care less about what JFK, Gingrich or Clinton did with their dicks."

Other than the fact that you're a fucking liar and would use any peccadilo to besmirch the legacy of a Democrat, then ok.

His personal life is irrelevant. He was a great leader.

How was that Rcade?
By getting us into Vietnam?
By showing such weakness to Khrushchev that K thought he could get away with staging missiles in Cuba?
Was the Bay of Pigs a roaring success?
By cavorting with Sam Giancanna's squeeze?

Seriously. I am dying to know all about Kennedy's great leadership legacy?

Doc just described every fucking politician in Washington.
Nothing gets past you does it Doc?

JFK banged anything with a skirt. He learned it from his dad who kept a young toy at home to play with w2henever he wanted to. Running booze from Canada wasn't a full time job but it paid millions.

Well of course it's true! I mean, it's in a book that this woman is trying to sell. NOBODY would ever try to smear someones name with lies when they're no longer here to defend themselves just to make a buck.

Are you talking about JFK or M. Monroe?

One man's horndoggery is just fine over another man's horndoggery??

Isn't it all horndoggery?

Were both men not married to others at the time they were committing horndoggery?

Were both men not putting on airs of a family man while doing the whoppie with someone else?

This is just a bunch of gossip--and no way to fact check anything because they are all dead.

She'll likely sell a million copies--the US populace loves gossip.

these are things that were known for years and years..but when a member of this BOOTLEGGING FAMILY CAN MURDER A YOUNG LADY named mary jo and he's an icon even after he dies...what the fuck does anyone expect..

anyone who didnt know that jfk was also a lying wife cheating scumbag was born in the 80's or sooner......

AND those three years of camelot are still way overrated......

CAN YOU SAY "BAY OF PIGS?"

read one of the bios on SINATRA and you will read a lot of stuff about jfk as well.....weekends in the desert with multiple women at the same time.....

NO WONDER the guy had back troubles...

Been more than a few books pointing to John and Bobby being instrumental in Marylin Monroe's death due to how she stepped up the phone calls to the White House and threats to go public with her relationship with the boys.

Read the book Goddess by Anthony Summers.

Summers's books often suffer from serious sourcing problems.

He ultimately capitulated to the Russians on the Cuban crisis affair by agreeing to a quiet deal to remove our capabilities from Turkey in return to the Russians vacating Cuba.

You mean the missiles that the US was going to remove anyways? basically, he got the Russkies to publicly submit and be humiliated in return for removing some scrap metal from Turkey.

You mean Team Ike's fucked up delusional plan that JFK inherited but didn't have the balls to dump? Of course, what can you expect from Ike, the philanderer who surrendered to the Norks? As bad as Nixon, surrendering to the Viet cong.

JFK was suckered into believing he could win in Vietnam with just "a few more troops" and save Australia from communism.

"Kennedy received conflicting advice with regards to Vietnam. Charles De Gaulle warned Kennedy that Vietnam and warfare in Vietnam would trap America in a “bottomless military and political swamp”. However, Kennedy had more daily contact with ‘hawks’ in Washington DC who believed that American forces would be far better equipped and prepared for conflict in Vietnam than the French had been. They believed that just a small increase in US support for Diem would ensure success in Vietnam. The ‘hawks’ in particular were strong supporters in the ‘Domino Theory’."

AND those three years of camelot are still way overrated......

Much like Reagan's 8 years of treason aka Morning in America-CAN YOU SAY IRANGATE?

Why did she not tell the story 50 years ago, instead of 50 years too late?

That takes no guts at all. We need real whistle-blowers who are willing to sacrifice everything in real time so as to bring truth and honesty to the people, and expose those game players who are entrusted to lead the people but screw them instead.

Then we need to reward the whistle blowers with the Medal of Freedom, instead of rewarding those who are undeserving.

Our USA has become a corrupt cabal of dishonesty and zero ethics and we need the leaders to feel potentially exposed, instead of the people feeling been had.

I, uh, as Jackie can tell you, I just am so damn patriotic and love my country so much that I, uh, can't keep it in my pants."

John Fitzgerald Gingrick.

If JFK hadn't been assassinated he'd be remembered as a mediocre President so why besmirch his memory by telling the world he banged (oh the horror) a Jersey girl

He sank a boat
Gave no air cover in Bay of Pigs
Immersed us in Vietnam

" He told James Reston of The New York Times immediately after his Vienna meeting with Khrushchev, 'Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place.'"

But he was charismatic and quick with the press

Kennedy was a tool.

Jack had Marilyn killed

Teddy killed Mary Jo

Glasshouse seems a little tense. can you fix that for him Northguy?

"You mean Team Ike's fucked up delusional plan that JFK inherited but didn't have the balls to dump? Of course, what can you expect from Ike, the philanderer who surrendered to the Norks? As bad as Nixon, surrendering to the Viet cong."

Nixon never surrendered to the Vietcong.

Nixon brokered a peace treaty that lasted 18 months after bombing the Northern ports back into the stone age. Something Johnson never had the guts to do.

Of course in the meantime, he pussed out and left office to avoid impeachment.

Then Ford took over and looked the other way as S Vietnam fell to the invading North.

Learn history idiot.
