Beleaguered Biographer Sets the Record Straight

My Sunday afternoon at work began in a rather unexpected way. A story of the late Senator George Smathers playing voyeur to the apparent rooster-like qualities of President Kennedy’s sexual performance raised the eyebrows of every person in the control room, as we got underway in three hours of live TV with beleaguered and beloved biographer Kitty Kelley.

About 150 minutes later, eyebrows rose rather high yet again when Ms. Kelley provided an example, upon request, of a story that she didn’t include in one of her books, because it was either too awful or couldn’t be verified. It was a story of one of her subjects allegedly committing murder, but when the reported eyewitness hung up on her, she thought it best not to include the rumor in her book.

It was an entertaining show to say the least. Ms. Kelley showed herself to be a charming person and a consummate researcher who’s engaged in the issues, more considerate to her subjects than her critics would think… and a rather tough cookie. In short, it was the most fun I had at work on a Sunday all year. Click here for all three hours:
