Kennedy Family Shocker! Book Says Jackie, RFK Had Steamy Affair

It seems we never get tired of hearing news about America’s closest thing to royalty — the Kennedys. But today there’s scandalous news that could fuel your appetite even more for tidbits of the country’s most iconic family.
The New York Post has an exclusive story today on how a new book claims that Jackie Kennedy had a four-year affair with Bobby Kennedy — John F. Kennedy’s brother — soon after her husband’s assassination, and that "everybody knew about the affair." RFK, who was married and father of 11 kids, was Jackie O.’s "true love," according to the book Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story, written by author C. David Heymann, who spent almost 20 years scouring old FBI and Secret Service files, among other items, for evidence to include in his book. He also quotes people like the late Franklin Roosevelt Jr., who served in JFK’s Cabinet; Arthur Schlesinger; Gore Vidal; Truman Capote; and Morton Downey Jr.
Some of the other scandalous charges: It was Jackie, not RFK’s wife, Ethel, who told doctors to take RFK off life support after he was shot; the pair were seen kissing and touching in Palm Beach during Christmas 1964; a Commerce Department official saw Bobby and Jackie on the couch together, with her straddling him, in July 1966.
Meanwhile, historians and experts are weary of Heymann’s tome, saying that portions of the book are attributed to only a single source and claims are unreliable. One of the book’s disbelievers include Pierre Salinger — Kennedy’s White House Press Secretary — who says the tales are total "bull."

I am always amazed at these tell-all books that are written after the book’s subjects are dead.
One could write anything and there are few or no one to dispute it.

I had the same reaction, Deena — this is old news — it was "exposed" in some other biography or maybe in Vanity Fair. =) So, I doubt it is a Kennedy "shocker".
Greed for profit is alive and well.Who knows they are both dead and gone. The only persons I see this affecting would be Ethel and the children and granchildren of Jackie and Robert. Personally I could care less.
I do not believe one word of it. I believe Robert Kennedy, in typical Kennedy fashion, gave Jackie and her children his full emotional and tactical support because of his love, first, for his fallen brother and second for his family as a whole. Period.
But the lies, myths, controversies and conspiracies prevalent in all of our communication highways of today should make inner eyes open for everyone and people question places where our own national histories differ remarkably from those of other nations (and research with an eye to reconciling those differences) and make them question the dependence of religious faiths upon writings often penned many decades, if not hundreds of years, after the described events supposedly took place or the quoted words supposedly were spoken.
Considering the many errors, mistakes, and inventions throughout our newsways during these days of instant communication, one can but wonder at the reality of facts written down long after their alleged occurrence in an age of no technology when very, very few human beings were even literate! Thank about it!
