Jackie Kennedy Speaks
Ok, so i wasted two hours of my life watching the beautiful Jacki-O look reality in the face and boarding the good ship Denial for a cruise down the river of History. What a waste.
My opinion...the two hour TV show was one big hype for the book. So, we got a few semi-snarky comments from Jaqleen on the Fwench, De Gaul while she smiles through those beautiful teeth of hers and conducts politics at the very top of the American heap. Who WAS the Secretary of State at the time? It should have been Mrs Kennedy?
The truth be told...wait a minute, the truth was NOT told. " The president had tears in his eyes just after the swearing in ceremonies," the Mrs says. She was so moved by it.
Knowing the prez as we NOW do, its hard to judge what in his probable sociopathic personality moved him to tears: his inauguration, or b) looking into his adorable wife's loving eyes knowing he had poked the French Ambassador's wife the night before. (See the "Dark Side of Camelot" by Seymour Hersch").
Disgusting. All the time, Jackie considered herself as self-described "dud" of a wife, loving this guy, all the while knowing he slipped away, then came back,
" and I knew he loved me, the children and our home life. And for me, that was enough."
The interviewer to Caroline: " What did you think?"
Caroline: " ....that was between them."
Ah-ha, we are pimping the book. It's all in the book, eight hours of conversations all taped at one sitting. Jackie's voice seems up, pleasant, classy, as she did in the White House tour we, the long-of-tooth remember. Never down beat, never depressed, always up.
After the Bay of Pigs, she said he cried and she slept with him to "comfort" him. Novelty night, no doubt.
The Wall Street Journal editorialized some time back with a headline which said, STOP THE WORSHIP. That was good advice.
The two hour program was nothing more than to ressurect Mrs. Kennedy's reputation, forgetting her Onassis debacle, painting her as some damsel tied to the president out of duty. I predict the book will fly off the shelf, money will be made and the phantom reputation will rise again.
As Wyatt Earp once said, if the legend is better than reality, print the legend.
