The Big Bang

This piece concerns three men:

John Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer, the latter, the former Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo’s disgraced predecessor, who in 2008, stepped down due to his inappropriate sexual conduct rivaling the Marquis de Sade’s.

We’ll get back to him.

Stepping up to the plate, William Jefferson Clinton in 1998, caught literally with his pants down with a young intern a mere seven years younger than his daughter.

Wild Bill HANDCOCK, who didn’t feel oral sex was sex, lying through his moans while on the phone discussing state secrets, loves to say JFK was his hero.

A photo of him in 1963, meeting JFK at the White House, the role model he appeared to be.

Kennedy’s flagrant in flagrante delicto, Latin for, in blazing offense, is now common knowledge, but not in 1963.

Right before Dallas, a reporter called Bobby at the State Department, saying, they couldn’t cover for his brother’s behavior much longer. J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, had compiled quite a file he planned making public.

Bobby then went to his father who said, “Who cares how many times Jack gets laid. Good! He should get laid more.”

Meet John and Bobby’s, tossing in Ted’s, role model.

It stayed under wraps longer than it would have if JFK had lived to serve his second term, Hoover was determined to undermine.

Spitzer too was a JFK fan, sometimes screwing three call girls in one day at a hotel, three blocks from his house, so my theory is, they thought banging women over lunch was perfectly acceptable.

You want to feel sorry for their wives, and the only one  deserving is Silda Spitzer, divorcing her Marquis in 2014 she stoically stayed with throughout the scandal for the sake of her three daughters.

But Jackie covered up Jack’s indiscretions creating the myth of Camelot.

‘Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief moment that was known as Camelot.’

Yeah Yeah. King Arthur he wasn’t, but boy could she spin a tale, since she knew all about his bad behavior.

As for Hillary,  Bubba’s behavior too was no surprise, and like Mrs. Kennedy and many other wives who turn the other way as they buy another dress, as long as they weren’t publicly embarrassed said, have a good time in JFK’s White House pool, that by the time the Clintons arrived, had been turned into the press room, by DICK Nixon.

As for me, I like the connection, putting these three flawed men together.

How history does repeat itself, for better…

or for worse.
