MYSTERY OF A JFK 'SON'

[comfycouch]

New York Post-Page Six

February 7, 2008 -- IS SEN. Ted Kennedy trying to prevent Vanity Fair from publishing a story about a man who claims to be the illegitimate son of Ted's brother, John F. Kennedy? Sources say the magazine's David Friend has been working on the article for a year and a half, and sent photographer Harry Benson to Vancouver to photograph the tall, handsome man in his late 40s - whose first name is Jack and who bears a strong resemblance to the 35th president assassinated in 1963. "The story was set to run, and they gave Ted Kennedy a courtesy call, and a few days later the story was killed," said a friend of the Vancouver man. "Ted must have strong-armed Graydon Carter." Vanity Fair spokeswoman Beth Kseniak said the story isn't dead. Other insiders said the man's mother - a Texan introduced to JFK by his vice president, Lyndon Johnson - slammed her door when the magazine came knocking. The monthly is said to be holding off until there is proof, such as a DNA match. Kennedy's office did not return our calls.

1. Well now I know nothing

about this story but I'd doubt something like this could have stayed under wraps this long.

I'd kinda like to have a look at the guy, though.

6. Were it true, how is it anyone's business?

Disrespect to the dead, and shameful grubbing. Every time I see John Kennedy's photo on a tabloid, years after the crash, I think hell readies a room for these ghouls who seek to hustle a dollar off of the Kennedys. Grrr.
