Nobody’s Fool: Jackie Kennedy

Nobody’s Fool

As fast as the story came out, was about as fast as it was forgotten, but it was big news: Caroline Kennedy decided it was time for the world to hear “the rest of the story” from her mother, Jackie Kennedy…the woman who survived.

Arthur Schlesinger had interviewed Jackie after Jack’s death, in 1964, and she said things that had they had been released at the time she said them: would have caused more of a stir. So, you have to ask the question: Why did they take such a long time to release them?
Mmmmmmm?

As LBJ would say, in politics, nothing is a coincidence. (Or was it LBJ quoting FDR? )

Jackie, it seems, did not suffer fools. Unless of course it was her husband Jack. She had this to say about some very famous people of her time:

She called Indira Gandhi “a real prune — bitter, kind of pushy,” and said she had told Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at a dinner to stop boring her with statistics on Ukraine. (He laughed.)

But it was her extreme dislike of Martin Luther King that was the most…shall we say, to this Nobody “refreshing”. Evidently, the FBI was recording him, and she heard him say some pretty nasty things about Jack’s funeral.

After being told by her husband of some of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged sexual peccadilloes after “that freedom march thing,” she called the civil rights leader “a phony.”
“I just can’t see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man’s terrible.”

Gee…and Martin Luther King’s memorial just went up in the National Mall. Good timing Caroline, you’re mother would be proud.

 Nobody  Remembers one particular phone conversation of Jackie’s that I had heard on the radio…LBJ was on the other line. Her voice was almost a complete imitation of Marilyn Monroe’s. She sounded fake, breathy, and she was so sweet and obsequious to LBJ, I felt like I was listening to phone sex..

Jackie, like many people in history, think LBJ had her husband killed. So, it was not just Martin Luther King she was horrified of, it was also LBJ. No wonder she used all her charm.

“Jack said it to me sometimes. He said, ‘Oh, God, can you ever imagine what would happen to the country if Lyndon were president?”‘ she recalled. (And they were right.)
“If they’re killing Kennedys, then my children are targets…I want to get out of this country.”

And so she did. She married one of the richest men in the world (Aristotle Onassis) to protect her children, and moved.

You have to say one thing about Jackie—She was born a thoroughbred, and stuck to that stamp of elite all through her life, with grace. She made the elites of our time look like Snookie pigs in a mud slide.

Jackie was by all accounts a terrific mother. Many thought that her son would have been President one day…and the country certainly would have been better off without the Clintons in power…if they had not have killed him.

Oh…excuse me, his plane crashed…

Someday I hope to hear another story about how grandma Caroline thinks that her brother’s death was not an accident…

Anyway, Jackie survived, and thankfully did not live to see her son’s plane crash.

Nobody Thinks that the release of this very important information from the Democrats dynasty, right before an upcoming presidential election, shows that at least the last Kennedy standing, wanted to put the record straight.

They will hide this revelation: It’s not as important as “jobs” they will say. But in the world of politics, it’s nice to know that at least one person from history who was there, had enough courage to tell the American people the truth.

It’s about friggin, time.
