5 Reasons JFK Was A Creepy, Lecherous Bastard

5 Reasons JFK Was A Creepy, Lecherous Bastard

It goes without saying that John F. Kennedy's missile was never in crisis (ZING). The 35th president has a long and storied list of not-Jackies that he bedded and his quicksilver loins are ensconced in American political lore. But a new autobiography written by JFK's 19-year-old White House intern, Mimi Alford, makes the man look less like a smooth operator and more like a garden-variety pervert. Using an excerpt of the book obtained by the Post, we've determined these moments to be JFK's creepiest. more ›

Caroline Shows No Hesitation in Taking Center Stage Again

Caroline Shows No Hesitation in Taking Center Stage Again

Before Ted Kennedy made his way down to Washington and onto his burial at Arlington National Ceremony, he was bid adieu Friday night by New York's most famous living Kennedy, his niece Caroline. After she and her cousin Robert greeted some of the thousands of visitors at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library, Caroline spoke before the crowd in a tribute to her Uncle Teddy. She described her moment of reflection the night he died saying, "I looked up and there was this one star hanging low in the sky that was just bigger than all the rest and brighter than all the rest. I know it was Jupiter but it was acting a lot like Teddy." Still unable to shake her botched attempt to fill the Senate seat of Hillary Clinton at the beginning of this year, the News introduced her speech by immediately mentioning that her last time in front of the cameras as "a tentative, tongue-tied U.S. Senate hopeful."

Reports are that those close to Ted Kennedy are furious over Caroline apparently using her uncle's health struggles as an apparent smoke screen to drop out of her bid for Senate. One aide told Time, "It looks horrible. It makes him look like he is at death's door." And someone "close to the family" added insult to injury telling the magazine, "Everything that was special about her got stripped away." The latest report from the Times on why Kennedy withdrew says that the "personal reason" speculated as a motivation today is "problems involving taxes and a household employee." And if his niece crying wolf on his condition wasn't bad enough, Ted Kennedy's wikipedia page was just edited to claim he had died on Tuesday. more ›
