John F. Kennedy Jr.

How is JFK Jr like a penguin? Both are cute but can't fly.

From Luke F-rd Wire Services, Ltd:

Was JFK Jr. Bisexual? Some stories are too true to be good--which is why the tale of JFK Jr.’s “secret” life had to wait until Camelot’s crown jewels were scattered forever upon the high seas. l-keford.com obtained the documents that follow from a former supermarket-tabloid operative who was a visible presence--with at least one bylined JFK Jr. story to his credit--on the early-Nineties JFK Jr. newsbeat. It is l-keford.com’s postition that these remembrances of JFK Jr. adhere to enough principles of contemporary journalism--as practiced in, say, New York Magazine’s “Intelligencer” column--to warrant publication...if only as a colorful artifact of a vanished era. John-John, we hardly knew ye!

According to George Wayne, a longtime columnist, photographer and nightlife arbiter elegantiae of Paper magazine and Vanity Fair, "John Kennedy Jr is one of the most gender-confused personalities of our time. His bisexuality is legendary in nightlife circles up and down the Eastern seaboard, in Manhattan, in the Hamptons, on Cape Cod. The only reason this fact has never come out in the media is because there are other reputations at stake besides John's. These scenes are heavily populated by other switch-hitters like John, who also come from prominent families and occupy positions of power and influence. It's a social climate where everybody's got something to hide. You know what they say about Catholic boys who get sent away to expensive boarding schools? Well, it's all true. And that's why you find John in clubs like the Underground--last known hangout of [homosexual] Malcolm Forbes--and Rex, where the scenes are awash in erotic ambiguity. The press is always speculating that John likes these places because that's where the fashion models and covergirls are. But it's a cardinal rule of nightclubs that whereever you find models, you'll also find gay men. You do the math. I happen to know for a fact that John had a three-way orgy with two friends of mine--a bisexual man and woman ---in the Hamptons two years ago. No, I'm not going to give you their names. But I was told that John had sex with both the woman and the man, although, in the case of the man, John just kind of lay back and let the man service him. It's no lie."

January 8, 1991

Gay terrorists are threatening to accuse John Kennedy Jr. of being a homosexual in a shocking campaign that has already targeted such allegedly homosexual celebrities as Merv Griffin, John Travolta, Tom Selleck and Jodi Foster. A shadowy group of gay guerrillas known as "Outpost" are plastering New York City with posters that parody the Absolut volka advertisements, except that, instead of a vodka bottle, the gay ads feature celebrity pictures along with the words "Absolutely Queer". Within weeks, the gay pranksters warn, Absolutely Queer John-John Kennedy posters will be going up all over Manhattan.

"John Kennedy Jr.'s homosexuality is one of New York City's best kept secrets," declared Dr. James Serafini, an openly gay psychiatrist who is a co-conspirator in the Outpost scheme. "And now we're going to share it with the rest of the world. Our poster campaigns against other gay celebrities have gotten nationwide attention, and now, whether he likes it or not, John-John is about to be dragged out of the closet. He'd better brace himself."

New York City homosexuals are gleefully awaiting the smear campaign against Kennedy. Said Lou Malebta, who operates the pornographic Gay Cable Network: "This John-John Kennely zap has been a long time coming. It is shocking and insulting to the gay community that, in the midst of a deadly epidemic, a gay man of his power and influence would turn his back on his gay brothers and sisters. He has taken refuge in shame and secrecy, and now the gay community intends to reveal aim as the homosexual that he really is. There's nothing like a Kennedy story when it comes to getting results."

Here are just a few of the astonishing charges that sources throughout the gay community have leveled at John-John:

--That he frequents the same, gay nightclubs as homosexual billionaire Malcom Forbes.

--That he engaged in an orgy with another man and a woman... And that he performed a homosexual act with the man.

--That he is frequently sighted on an East Hampton gay beach.

What's more, John John is continually being courted by his many gay admirers. Revealed another member of the OutPost: "Last year, when John Kennedy passed the New York and Connecticut bar examination, he was besieged by gushing congratulatory letters from his many gay fans."

And in a shocking homosexual love poem called "Some Adventures of John Kennedy Jr.," prominent gay author Dennis Cooper describes the pornographic fantasies that John-John inspires in gay males. Said a gay publishing insider: "Tens of thousands of gay readers have encountered John-John as a gay object of desire in Dennis Cooper's book."

Amazingly, the Outpost views the Absolutely Queer Kennedy poster as a tribute to their hunky hero. "We're not doing it because we hate him," said gay psychiatrist Serafini, "but because we adore him, and want to claim him as one of us."

Walter Hardgraves, an activist art historian with close ties to the gay radical community, says: "John Kennedy Jr. has been on the OutPost hit list for almost a year now. Their strategy has been to first concentrate on the more obvious closet-case personalities like Sandra Bernhard and Merv Griffin. This has enabled them to refine their techniques and gauge the media responsiveness. And now that they've created a familiar, virtually trademarked, context - they will be going forward with the John Kennedy Jr. campaign.

"A lot of preparation and research has gone into the Absolute-Kennedy posters. The radical gay community reserves a special contempt for Kennedy because he is the absolute - no pun intended - embodiment of the hunky homo hypocrite who wants it both ways. The Kennedy posters will be appearing all over New York City in the next few weeks. Thousands of them are already being printed. I've seen the proofs, and I can assure you, when the posters go up, they won't pass unnoticed. By the time OutPost finishes zapping John-John, the Palm Beach scandal will look like a picnic."

The public outing of JFK Jr never occurred.

John Winkleman was, at the time of this 1990 interview, a member of Homos Against Hypocrisy (HAH), a militant cabal of gay media activists dedicated to exposing clandestine gays in high places. HAH would later materialize as OutPost, perpetrators of the notorious Absolut-Vodka inspired posters skeweering encloseted celebs like Jodi Foster and Merv Griffin.

Winkleman: "JFK Jr. is definitely one of the celebrity closet cases who we've targeted for public humiliation. He's definitely in that same league of high-rolling homo hypocrites that also includes Merv Griffin, Jodi Foster and Sandra Bernhard... In the near feature, we intend to blanket New York City with thousands of Absolut-Kennedy posters accusing John-John of crimes against the gay community. Instead of hiding behind Darryl Hannah's skirts, he should be serving as a role model of gay pride. Not only is he the sexiest male on the planet, he's all ours.

"A friend of mine who works for a gay-managed courier service told me that last year when John Kennedy passed the Connecticut and New York bar examinations, he was besieged by gushing congratulatory letters from various gay admirers (my courier friend admitted that he couldn't resist peeking at unsealed correspondence addressed to Kennedy).

"It is also a matter of public record that John Kennedy appeared in solidarity with his gay brethren at an Act-Up protest in downtown Manhattan last year. Of course, it would have been unseemly for an assistant D.A. to be caught up in a civil disobediance scenario a block from his own office, so when Kennedy began to attract too much attention, he slipped away."

Reliable sources also have it that Kennedy shared a hotel room for a weekend last winter in Miami Beach with an attractive young man named Kemana. Amazingly, the two checked out together and returned to New York on the same plane. While the particularities of John-John's taste in men is not altogether clear - since he is typically found in the presence of other preppie bisexuals like himself - it is the consensus of insiders, deep insider, that John-John, like LFP's Mike Albo, likes young Asian boys. But then again, who doesn't?

"John Kennedy's here, and he's queer - so get used to it."

Camelot just isn't what it used to be.

JFK Jr.'s homosexual tendencies are one of New York City's best-kept secrets. But among night-life insiders - both hetero and gay - reliable sources confirm in detail JKF's aberrant appetites.

Prominent Manhattan personality, author, art critic and longtime Kennedy family acquaintance, Baird Jones, says: "I've worked the door of clubs that were either gay or at least 90% gay, places where even the women were there only because they were fag hags who liked to hang out around gay men. Quite frequently I've worked at gay clubs where I was either a promoter or I was the door person. These included Private Eyes, Studio 54 and the Underground - some of the best known gay nightclubs in the city. And in that context, one of the people who turned up time and again was John Kennedy. In fact, he would turn up so often that his presence no longer shocked anyone. I also remember how, at the Club Horatio 113 in Greenwich Village, on the nights that were gay - in other words, on the nights there was a gay promoter bringing in a predominantly gay crowd - that John Kennedy was a regular there. I believe these appearances were noted in the paper with some frequency. The promoter who springs most to mind for these particularly events was Scott Curry, known for his flagrantly gay nightclub following.

Jones: "The Underground in Union Square had a gay night, Tuesday night. And John Kennedy would show up. Of course, he wasn't so stupid as to turn up with some effeminate gay guy. He'd be with some prepped out macho yuppies instead. And Kennedy would just kind of hang out and drink beer. Rolling Rock. You might say that John Kennedy likes to watch.

"A case in point: In the Hamptons, John Kennedy spent an inordinate amount of time on the gay beach, ostensibly jogging. How do I know this? I've orchestrated many events in the Hamptons, where I've been known as a black-tie party giver for many years. And my friends in the Hamptons have told me that John Kennedy was a regular in terms of running on the gay beach. Specifically: he would run on the gay beach. I believe it's called Elbow Beach or something. Talk to George Wayne at Paper magazine about that, because he's written extensively on the Hamptons. The gay beach incidents were also reported in the NY Post. [JFK's excuse was he "got lost" on the beach.]

Jones: "John Kennedy would turn up at the gay clubs wearing very formal clothes... He'd usually be in a suit or at least a sports jacket, although not always with a tie. Let's face it: He's a preppy.

"I know people who knew John Kennedy in prep school and grammar school. One of his friends - in fact his best friend at Collegiate - ended up being gay. His name was Jason Beghe. He's a muscle man who became an actor in Italy. He stars in a lot of these low-budget spaghetti westerns, horror movies and monster films.

Jones: "In the old days - '76, '77 and '78 - John and Jason hung out together all the time. I was at John Kennedy's house hanging out with these guys. Jason started making out with another man at the Collegiate graduation party at their house on 1041 Fifth Avenue, which is where John lived in 1977. It's Jackie O's place now. It's just a few blocks from my house on East 96th Street, so I was there all the time."

Lou Maletta is chief operating officer of Gay Cable Network. He says: "I have just spoken with Jim Serafini - who wants his name kept out of this - and he confirmed the fact that John-John Kennedy will be the target of an upcoming OutPost campaign. Serafini is one of the primary OutPost figures, so you can be sure he means what he says.

"This Kennedy map has been a long time coming. It is shocking and insulting to the gay community that, in the midst of a deadly epidemic, a man like John Kennedy, whose fame and influence could be used for good..."

David Aaron Clark is a prolific writer and expert on alternative sexualities who has assisted the Weekly World News on one story ("Benji Died of AIDS") and the Enquirer on another ("Schwarzenegger Was A Male Hustler", edited by Ed Susman and later killed). The former associate editor of the weekly Screw and, writing under the name Dante Foucalt, was managing editor of the now defunct homosexual tabloid HOMO, later renamed RAMROD.

Clark says: "As an editor at the world's only weekly sex newspaper, I have heard innumerable reports detailing John-John Kennedy's homogenic comings and goings. Not only is John-John a fixture on the gender-bending nightclub circuit, where you can't tell the tight ends from the wide receivers without a scorecard, but there are also stories which address Kennedy's carnal quirks with great specificity - like his continual presence on a gay beach in East Hampton and his submission to another male in a three-way romp with a woman.

"When the Kennedys are concerned, anything is possible. The testicular talents of John-John's father are legend, and the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree - although in John-John's case, the apple may have been bruised a little when it fell. But a kid who's seen his father blasted by a sniper when he was only a toddler is bound to turn out a little unusual. Especially when he's got an overbearing mother and sister. You can't really blame the kid.

"John-John is yet another instance of how the Kennedy myth has reached into every corner of American life, not to mention lowlife. It was only a matter of time before a Kennedy would be touching America's gay inhabitants as well. One has only to look at prominent gay author Dennis Cooper's book of gay erotic poems, Idols, to realize the extent to which John-John has become a part of America's gay brotherhood. There are tens of thousands of editions of the book Idols circulating throughout the nation, meaning that countless homosexual men have joined with Dennis Cooper in celebrating John-John Kennedy as an object of male sexual desire. And from what I understand, John-John isn't bothered one bit by the attention they are giving him."

In 1990, the National Enquirer, in an article co-written by Mark Kramer, said:

The real reason John F. Kennedy Jr. - called "The Sexiest Man Alive" - failed the bar exam twice is girls, girls and more girls!

The 29-year old hunk is juggling romances from coast to coast, even though he promised his mom Jackie Onassis he'd buckle down and study...

His most recent escapade was a secret romance with an unknown, but simply stunning, willowy blonde model named Stephanie Schmid in California - and The ENQUIRER has exclusive photos of the starry-eyed couple cuddling on the boardwalk.

...And John confessed to a pal: "Sometimes I think I'm addicted to women. I can't stop chasing them.

"I know girls are the reason I've failed the bar exam twice.

"I guess I'm a lot like my dad when it comes to women. I love 'em.

"The more beautiful and sexy, the better."

Why Kennedys Suck 2.0

From Luke F-rd Wire Services, Ltd.:

Nowhere has the late bisexual John Kennedy Jr. been more gleefully disparaged than in [now-defunct] SPY, dated March '98, written by a trio heat-seeking anti-John-Johnites consisting of the mag’s top editor Bruno Maddox, deputy editor Adam Lehner and editor-at-large William Monahan].

Here are some highlights: “...George magazine was...John Kennedy’s attempt to make himself seem smarter.... From the moment his first-grade teachers tried to flunk him, the John-is-stupid snowball had too much momentum to ever be stopped.... It didn’t help that his mother had sent him to a psychiatrist his first year at Andover. ...when he was 25 he gave up trying to be an actor and packed himself off to law school.... in 1989, John failed to pass the New York bar exam [and] would fail again in 19990.... Whether he was flaunting the destination of his world-famous chest-hair treasure trail [sic] in Hyannisport---or at the $6,000 a year health club he went to in SoHo--or merely shirtless in Central Park, it seemed a safe assumption...that this was a man for whom the human brain was essentially just another ab[dominal]....

“...in trying to explain to a small child the meaning of the French-derived word “dilettantism”, one could do a lot worse than to cite the example of Kennedy and [George magazine co-founder Michael] Berman....Finally they received an offer from the French-based company Hachette Fillipachi, which is the the manufacturer of Exocet missiles and publishes .... Premier, Elle and Road & Track.... ... a staffer at George would overhear [John-John] confessing that the main reason they had signed with Hachette was that he and Berman had skimped on research and had simply, gratefully, signed with the first company that came along.... ...after months of development, George [magazine] rented out Federal Hall in downtown Manhattan, where George Washington was sworn in, for the launch announcement.... A smitten writer from the Washington Post described Kennedy as looking like a “butch Venus from the sea” and a male reporter stood up a the press conference and asked for his home phone....

“....Described variously as looking like “a telemarketing firm,” and “unemployment office,” and “just plain depressing”, the New York offices of Hachette Fillipach are famed...for their industrial carpeting, dirty whitewashed walls, and endless Kafkaesque cubicles. Worse, George was forced to share a floor with the airheads at Premiere and the mudspattered vagabonds of Road & Track. A steady stream of alien temps would saunter into George on cock-and-bull assignments to take a slack-jawed gawp [sic]... ....”It was very much like a junior high-school yearbook,” said one [staffer]...."I’m talking behavioral problems, too...”

Why Kennedys Suck 2.1

“These guys really know what they’re doing!” gushed former Spy founder/editor-in-chief, and soon-to-be-remaindered novelist, Kurt Andersen, when the mag’s hilarious pre-mortem JFK Jr.search-and-destroy hit Gotham newsstands. This resounding endorsement, however, was not enough to stop Spy’s publisher from pulling from the plug on Andersen’s mordant brainchild that very same week.

And for John-John, it was already too late: The doomed bisexual “hunk” would revolve forever, like Dante’s Francesca and Paolo Malatesta [“Inferno”, Circle 5, Canto 2] in Spy’s pages, dated 3-98, on the blazing investigative Rotissomat spun by Harvard-trained humorists Bruno Maddox and Adam Lehner with itinerant funnyguy William Monahan:

“...The main problem seemed to be the testesterone-sodden cult of John-John... [M]any young male staffers started wearing their wallets on pickpocket-proof chains after they noticed Kennedy doing it. And there were...Kennedy’s frequent squabbles with [George mag co-founder] Michael Berman over the pointless but intractable issue, as one insider put it, of “who had the biggest dick...” The usually mellow Kennedy would yell at his ‘co-founder’, while the staff cowered... When I looked up I saw John running into his office with Michael close behind. John slammed the door and Michael proceeded to bang on it, yelling, “John! John! Let me in! I know you’re in there!”

“...Chaos was spreading....All in all...Kennedy was turning out to have far less aptitude for hands-on editing than even his critics had anticipated...

“....The magazine hadn’t ever been good, but now it was getting worse.”

“...As John Kennedy’s partner, though, Berman was reminded...[that] in order to offset the Kennedy charisma, one either needed smarts--overmatching Kennedy at his weakest point--or a massive helping of fabulousness....Berman found his role getting ‘smaller and smaller’...

“...At the same time, Kennedy’s much scrutinized relationship with leggy, unsmiling ice-maiden Carolyn Bessette [whose estate is now suing John-John’s for wrongful death] was gathering steam....The famous Central Park squabble between the lovebirds--that left Kennedy blubbering alone on the curb--had just aired on a tabloid TV show....

“...After one incident in which Berman tried to force his way into Kennedy’s office, sparking a scuffle in which Kennedy’s custom-made dress shirt was ripped.... [Berman] was given new duties at the parent company and was shipped out of the building....

“...September 1997, and John is posing clothesless in the pages of George, staring up at an apple for some reason, and referencing some of the Kennedy mystique...as he lambasts his [drug-and-thrillseeking] cousins as ‘poster boys for bad behavior...’”

“...[In the portrait] He is veiled in shadow, like a jilted ex-girlfriend...”

“....If the George project from the beginning, then, was an attempt to prove his intelligence to the world, it was surely a failure..."

Why, against this backdrop of bland apparatchik noodling, would Kennedy make a fool of himself sticking up for the blatantly out-of-date idea that...politics is sexy?... Concluded Spy’s Mssrs. Maddox, Lehner and Monahan: “...in four year’s time when he runs for president he will no longer have to answer the question ‘What does this man know about politics apart from that it killed his dad?’...” Find out when Why Kennedys Suck continues...only in l-keford.com.

Another Bisexual Kennedy!

This story was scheduled to run in America’s third-most beloved tabloid...until a certain journo refused to relinquish his audiotapes! The tapes recently arrived at l-keford.com under circumstances that Luke would be happy to reveal under subpoena.

Now it can be told: Rory Kennedy, now-married daughter of slain Sen. Robert Kennedy, once locked loins and merged mucosae with Jane Fonda’s daugher Vanessa Vadim!

Their torrid, on-again-off-again romance dates back to their Ivy League years together at Brown University, where, according to members of Gotham’s cognitive elite, it was the worst-kept secret on campus.

Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, from which the late bisexual John F. Kennedy Jr. graduated in 1983, is a famed hotbed of sexual experimentation (also attended by the late Sen. Robert Kennedy’s offspring Kerry and Douglas).

“Brown is environment notorious for its "four-year lesbians," or "lugs," which stands for "lesbian until graduation,” explained “Alyssa,” a succulently cerebral Brown graduate and writer with a non-unfamiliar byline. “Vanessa Vadim was already the reigning campus dyke when Rory Kennedy arrived in ‘87. As a women’s-studies major, Rory soon came under Vanessa’s spell. Before long both of them were them were members of the most outrageous, unabashed lesbian cliques.”

Vanessa Vadim’s notoriety was fueled by her Oct., ‘89 arrest while attempting a heroin buy with a fellow Brown student, who was nabbed with a hypodermic needle and, according to cops, “a substance supected to be heroin” in his possession. Cops also said Vadim was “abusive” and “interfered with the arrests.”

Vadim told the New York Post that she and her co-arrestee “were down from college doing a study on narcotics.”

Studious Vanessa Vadim is the seed of film director Roger Vadim-- whose 1968 sci-fi cine sexer Barbarella first showcased Jane Fonda’s nubile pods. Vanessa grew up in the controversy-steeped Oakland, Calfornia household of her stepfather, onetime radical and state legislator Toy Hayden, to whom Fonda was married before Ted Turner.

Vanessa was only one-and-a-half when she was taken to her first sit-in at Alcatraz. From here, the turbulent trail to Rory Kennedy’s clit was paved with activism on behalf of California grape-pickers, the no-nukes movement, anti-apartheid, and, circa 1988, queer rights.

Rory Kennedy was born six months after her father's televised assassination in 1968, grew up with an alcoholic mother, a passel of sex-addicted cousins including one suspected murderer among them, and lost one of her brothers, David, to a drug overdose.

“Rory Kennedy and Vanessa Vadim are not happy,” declared professional lesbian Ann Northrop in POZ, the lifestyle magazine for HIV-positives. “They hate talking to the press. They don't want to discuss their famous parents. They don't want to talk about their personal lives.”

What they wanted to talk about was needle exchange.

After graduating Brown, Kennedy had joined Vadim in compiling footage for their increasingly famous video, Fire in Our House. The celebutantes visited needle-exchange sites all over the countries. Vadim, of course, already had this study under way. Included in the wonkish video’s observations on American junkie life are the words of "Hakim....a member of community. And one of the things Hakim does in his life is shoot up. But Hakim is also a father and a productive, valued citizen...”

Meanwhile, another American junkie, tape-recorded by occasional l-keford.com operative Krash in an East Village storefront not far from the Essex Street drug location where co-directrix Vadim had been busted, had this say: “I was chained to Vanessa Vadim for about three hours when we were being transferred from the bullpen to 100 Center Street. And there’s really no better way to get to know someone. When Vanessa came into the bullpen at about noon the morning after she was busted, all the prosties and skeezers were whistling and cat-calling at the cracker chick with the expensive haircut and leather jacket. Vanessa held her ground--like she was used to living dangerously. We got to talking, and when the conversation came around to sex and drugs, Vanessa went on about how she’d done plenty of both. She told me about these rich lesbians eating each others’ pussies at this college she went to and at these clubs in the Village. Eventually she told me about her affair with Kennedy’s daughter Rory. Of course, I didn’t believe it.”

Recalled amphora-shaped, freckle-misted “Alyssa,” “Every Brown University coed I've ever known has been to the Clit Club [ a lesbian late-night salon that once floated from one location to the next], so when I saw Rory and Vanessa there, I wasn't terribly surprised. I saw them in the basement of the Pyramid Club on Avenue A. You had go-go girls on the bar in various degrees of undress. The clientele consisted of the most radical, in-your-face dykes in town. So it wasn't much of a shock to see the two of them chewing face in a shadowy corner. This was their natural element: eroticism with a political subtext."

The Kennedy family finally put its foot down in spring, 1995 after an appearance by the pixie-dusted video gals on The Charlie Rose Show. According to Kennedy expert C. David Heymann, the klan --a privately held corporation reeling from such recent PR gaffes David Kennedy’s overdose and the Willie Smith rape trial -- offered Rory a choice between her public dyke persona and disinheritance. Thus began Rory’s “romance” with writer, editor, dilettante and signator of the standard Kennedy non-disclosure agreement Mark Bailey, whom reluctant hetero Rory finally married on August 2, 1999--but not without revisiting whever possible Vanessa Vadim’s inner surfaces as well as the Clit Club and dyke-friendly establishments.

And ironically, according to best-selling Kennedy biographer C. David Heymann, it was to Rory’s flimsily closeted cousin John-John--who died en route to Rory’s wedding--that the bisexual Brownie first confessed her Sapphic secret!'

From the Is-She Gay Board: Saffy writes: "I have seen pictures of Vanessa Vadim since she was a little girl, and she always pinged my gaydar. Amy Carter went to Brown at the same time, I always got that lesbian vibe from her too! Was Amy a "lug" also."

NJG: "I know where you got it, lmao!!! I know this guy PERSONALLY, it's all my fault he's hanging around and stealing too. Sorry to everyone. How did you surf over to his site?

"We've talked about it before. I know HIM WELL, remember I was f---ed up a few weeks ago, the Drama??? You like his site?

NT: Uncommon way of writing, to say the least. But even then, it's better than most puff pieces put out by most other sites of this kind. I swear, if i see one more porn star tell us how bisexual she is, i'll.......probably go to her site to check her out! AAH!

NJG: Ok, this is my humble opinion of porn stars and sexuality and I've only gleaned this from his site, I don't know any IRL, except I've known a few sex workers in my time. I think a lot of them are probably dykes, you ought to see the ugly guys those girls hook up with. Almost every one of those girls, and most have a pimp-daddy, he is usually the most god awful looking sorry thing you have ever seen. I really think it's almost the same as what HotLips said about models. A lot of men are commenting that they think so too on luke's site.

HotLips: do yourself a favor and stay faaaar away from Luke F! There's something very un-healthy about that guy!

NJG: Hotlips, you know him?? I agree, I'm not as strung out as I was. I've cried a river of tears already over him, but I feel my addiction to him is getting less.

“Before there was Monica,” reports salon.com today, there was Kennedy presidential sex partner and mafia associate Judith Campell Exner--”the stunning Marilyn Monroe-look-alike who died Friday after a long battle with breast cancer...”

“...She was deeply, naively in love with the president,” writes cyber-scribe Amy Reiter. “...her only fault was not moving on with her life...”

Instead, Exner authored books and gaves interviews--drawing the Kennedy clan’s undying wrath.

Kennedy operatives “dirtied her name as much as possible,” salon.com learned from Kennedy critic Anthony Summers-- who has written extensively on Camelot’s unloveliest secrets: “....The press tagged her as a publicity seeker and a party girl, ‘which in those days was code for Not Quite A Party Whore [said] Summers, who interviewed Exner in 1993...’

Judith Campell had in fact been "a very strictly brought-up Catholic girl from private schools... was reeling from a divorce when she met Kennedy...”

“.... ample evidence (including White House logs recording her visits and phone calls) supports Exner's claim of a relationship with JFK from 1960 to 1962. In fact, Summers notes, their names have been publicly linked since the mid-1970s -- when Exner was called to testify before a Senate committee investigating presidential involvement in CIA assassination plots against Fidel Castro...”

[Reader-service flashback: In 1961, White House phone logs indicated approximately 70 calls from Judith Campbell to President Kennedy. Throughout 1961, Campbell acted as a secret liaison and courier between Kennedy and mob lord Sam Giancana, carrying envelopes between the two. Giancana was a key figure in“Operation Mongoose”, the illegal CIA scheme to assassinate Fidel Castro].

According to salon.com, Monday’s New York Times disparaging obituary on Exner--which empasizes the Kennedy family bias re. Exner’s “supposed” and “fatuous” claims of an intimate JFK link--is richly illustrative of the Kennedys’ continuing quest to defame and discredit a woman who opened up her heart and body to Camelot ‘s carnal king--and spent the rest of her days regretting it.
