Via Maetenloch at Ace of Spades, the National Enquirer is reporting that Ted Kennedy, in an excised portion of his memoir, gained carnal knowledge of 1000 women. I know it's the National Enquirer, but on the other hand they did get the John Edwards story right.
Before he died of brain cancer at age 77 on Aug. 25, the womanizing politician also revealed that he planned to seduce Mary Jo Kopechne on the night she drowned, said a close source.
"While dictating his memoirs into a tape recorder, Ted decided to tell the whole truth about his life - including his love life. He said that his first lover was an Irish nanny. She was about 19, and Ted was only 13," the source divulged.
"When his mother found out, she sent the nanny back to Ireland. Rose made Ted pray on his knees for hours to ask forgiveness. But Ted recalled that even his sore knees couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
"From that day on, he says he seduced as many women as he could, from maids and cooks at the family's Hyannis Port compound to college friends that his sisters brought home."
Heck, that's nothing. He wasn't one tenth the man that Wilt Chamberlain was. Though he did always act in the Senate like someone who demanded satisfaction.
