[color=blue]Here's a little history lesson for y'all. Did you know that John Fitzgerald Kennedy (our 35th president) may very well have had an affair with an intern? WOW, REALLY!?! Say, didn't our 42nd president do the same thing (only he got caught)? Well if Robert Dallek's startling accusation of the late president turns out to be true, then it looks like Slick Willie wasn't the first Commander-In-Chief to get his freak on at the White House after all.[/color]

JFK Had Affair With Intern, Author Says
NEW YORK (AP) - President John F. Kennedy had an affair with a 19-year-old intern who traveled with him on official trips, according to a new biography of Kennedy.
She had no skills. She could answer the phone,'' Robert Dallek, author ofAn Unfinished Life,'' told Dateline NBC'' in an interview that aired Sunday.Apparently, her only skill was to provide sexual release for JFK on those trips and maybe in the White House.''
Dallek learned of the affair from a White House aide, Barbara Gamarekian, whose oral history was recently unsealed.
Gamarekian told the Daily News that she remembers only the young intern's first name, which she refused to reveal.
``It amazes me there continues to be such fascination with all things Kennedy,'' Gamarekian, 77, told the newspaper.
Kennedy is known to have had numerous extramarital liaisons, but this is the first report of an affair with an intern.
There were lots of women,'' Dallek, whose book comes out Tuesday, told the newspaper.The real question is: Did it distract him from his job as president? I think it really didn't.''
Gamarekian had asked that the 17 pages in her oral history dealing with the intern be kept secret for a decade, then later asked the Kennedy Library in Boston, where her account is archived, to keep it sealed.
Dallek discovered the blacked-out pages while researching his book and persuaded her to disclose the information.

Considering JFK's record as a skirt chaser, this isn't news. Now, if he had decided to become, say a Hindu, and deficate in the oval office, maybe sip his own urine upon rising in the morning, then maybe we would be startled.

I have no first hand knowledge of whether JFK had a 19 year old squeeze, while defending the west, but many of his associates must have been witness to the disgraceful fact. The press was superbly managed during his reign, as some reporters have recounted, and not a whisper of his ineptitude and sexual exploits came forth. I do know one of the Tmen who guarded him and grew to dislike him for the simple reason that he would borrow small amounts of cash from him, for whatever curious reason, and not pay it back. He did the same to others in the coterie. Even presidents need to have small sums on occasion, but why?

Among many Irish Catholic Americans this guy is God. No amount of reasoning can sway their devotion, believe me, I have tried in vain.
