DID MARILYN MONROE BLACKMAIL JFK ABOUT SEX?


Do elephants fly?

Do pigeons doo-doo?

And would PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY be dumb enough to put in writing an agreement with MARILYN MONROE that he was paying her to keep her mouth shut about their alleged affair?

And paying her to keep mum about any dealings he allegedly had with the GoodFellas?

Common sense tells you the answer is NO.

NO! And NO! A thousand times NO!!!

Yet Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter SEYMOUR "Show me the Money" HERSH just got taken in by a scam artist who had phony so-called documents detailing such a specious deal.

But Hersh, indeed, get shown the money.

He got a hefty advance from his book publisher.

Then he got a million bucks from NBC for a proposed documentary. They subsequently decided to pass.

But next ABC coughed up Two million dollars for the same rights.

Sadly, though, the papers turned out to be a hoax.

The signatures of JFK not only turned out to be questionable, but the ZIP code listed on the envelope didn't even exist in the year the letter was written.

Nor did the typewriter that the papers were written on.

Hersh's credibility is now tainted, so he has yanked the chapter dealing with the alleged blackmail, and his book on Kennedy still will be published in November, Thanksgiving time.

After the smell from this episode, it may turn out to be just another turkey, and a dead one at the book stores.

In terms of the JFK/Monroe alleged affair -- the world is still waiting for the tapes of their rumored bedroom romps to surface.

Do such tapes actually exist?

Time will tell. You hope. And so do we.
