Meet The Kennedys

MEET THE KENNEDYS- Finally

Meet The Kennedys

TIME Ragazine reports that the The Kennedys 8 hour miniseries will finally see the light of your TV screen - if you get ReelzChannel, a movie channel available in around 60 million cable homes. Originally bought by the History Channel, it was dropped after attacks by the Kennedy mafia who claimed that it contained inaccuracies.  Pretty lame considering that at least 50% of everything we learned about the Kennedys from day one was a lie.  Here's a peek.

  The Daily Beast obtained an exclusive, early copy of the script of the botched History Channel miniseries The Kennedys. Jace Lacob picks eight salacious bits from the first episode.
  Pages 16-17: Wilkinson’s Joe Sr. fondles his secretary in his office at the ambassador’s residence in London in 1938. As he dictates a note to the president, Joe “fondles her breasts” and “nuzzles her neck.” When sons Joe Jr. and Jack enter his office, Joe Sr. continues his fondling as his sons look on, “amused.” The note he’s dictating? It suggests that in order to keep the peace in Europe, certain concessions be made to Hitler. (It’s a viewpoint later parroted by son Joe Jr. even after the annexation of Czechoslovakia.) A comment made about Jack’s shabby clothes results in him telling his father, “Girls figure I need help dressing. Once I get ‘em in the closet…”

Pages 21-23: Joe Sr. learns that Jack is romantically involved with married Danish national Inga Arvard (whom Jack refers to as “Inga Binga”), a woman that J. Edgar Hoover reports has “been linked to counterintelligence activities in Washington on behalf of the German government.” When Jack refuses to break off relations with Arvard, Joe Sr. has Jack shipped overseas after placing a call to the secretary of the Navy.

My Comcast carrier has Reelz. Can't say I'm all that interested though.

I will watch - or at least have the channel turned on, in hopes that it will be the mega-ratings smash of the century.

The Kennedys and Dems were always about turning the country into an aristocracy with them on top.
