Vidal appears not to be the only source, unless Vidal was lying about talking to Hersh in the first place about this subject……..

ive never heard this about jfk,just that he liked sex in a swimingpool. but i could easily see him or any other misogynist of the era thinking that sexual humiliation of women was funny. this is also why i cant stand watching. Mad Men. I think there’s a bit more titilation going on at showing all of that than is ever mentioned.

Then he dumped Cynthia’s body, unclothed, of course, in someone’s driveway on the other side of the county. Eventually he was convicted of second degree murder, despite testimony that demonstrated he was one sick fuck, not an absent-minded jerk who forgot to untie the girl, who drowned by accident. Nope. He got his one perfect day. Lost everything, but not his life. His first time up for parole in 2002 got denied. According to the records, his next time up was 2006, but I can’t find out if he made parole. Anyone know how to find out? I’d like to throw him in Norquist’s tub.

I know this is off-topic. But blame Gore Fucking Vidal for my flashback, and note that Byrd’s rush was watching her die, not having sex with her.

nothing so much surprises me about it, and i dont doubt its validity, in my poli-sci class the prof told a story about how a president, im pretty sure it was johnson, would swim in the nude while doing interviews in order to intimidate reporters. you have to be at least a bit of a crazed narcissist to crave a presidential level of power. theres no logical reason that sort of attitude wouldnt cross over into your sex life.

Like rainbow parties and other oft-told tales, it’s really hard to tell which are real and which aren’t, and how often they happen.

There’s nothing our nation loves more than scullious sexual tales.

What will be really interesting to see is how many people who lived through “The Bush Years” will look back on them and ignore the glaringly awful and build-up the handful of good things in order to make it seem like a better time than it really was

I won’t be one of them. My nieces and nephews will hear me lament the horrors of the past 8 years, and if McCrap gets elected, they’ll hear me project the next 4 as well.
