The NY Post is having a field day reporting on the secret diary kept by RFK Jr.
http://nypost.com/2013/09/09/diary-b...and-gov-cuomo/
Apparently he had great difficultly with celibacy (self admittedly) and he gave 1-10 ratings of women that he was interested in. The rating indicated whet he did with them. Apparently he gave ratings to 37 women, 16 of whom got 10 scores - meaning he had intercourse with them. That was reported earlier in the week.
But today's report was about his secret opinions of Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, his own brother-in-law, Andrew Cuomo, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Amazingly candid, but he is now denying he meant it. Here are his comments on Sharpton and Jackson:
-------------------------------------------
RFK Jr. also kept notes for his journal during his month-long stint in a Puerto Rican prison that July. He, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s wife, Jacqueline, were charged with trespassing during protests on Vieques, the Puerto Rican island the US Navy used as a bombing range.
The Revs. Jackson and Sharpton “give me the creeps,” Kennedy writes in a July 5 entry.
“Al Sharpton has done more damage to the black cause than [segregationist Alabama Gov.] George Wallace. He has suffocated the decent black leaders in New York,” he says. “His transparent venal blackmail and extortion schemes taint all black leadership.”
Rev. Al Sharpton gave Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “the creeps,” he wrote in his diary.
He goes on to call Sharpton a “buffoon” who has never escaped the “stench” of his advocacy for Tawana Brawley, the black Dutchess County teen who fabricated a story about six white men raping her in 1987.
He writes that Jesse Jackson has “a desperate and destructive addiction to publicity.”
He recalls that Jackson, at labor leader Cesar Chavez’s funeral, pushed “Cesar’s friends and family out of the way to make himself lead pall bearer.”
“His love affair with [Nation of Islam leader] Louis Farrakhan and his Jewish xenophobia are also unforgivable,” Kennedy adds.
“I feel dirty around him, and I feel like I’m being used. I feel like with Jesse, it’s all about Jesse.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
It is ironic that his opinions are uniformly the same as conservative opinions regarding Jackson and Sharpton. Here is is opinion of Andrew Cuomo, his brother-in-law:
---------------------------------------------
Cuomo’s tenure as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development was about to end, and he sought Kennedy’s counsel as he mulled a run for New York governor.
“Andrew could win because he is totally focused and energetic,” Kennedy later observes. “He could lose because he lacks humanity and doesn’t love people. He is not a retail politician.”
----------------------------------------------
Here is his opinion of Rudolph Giuliani:
-----------------------------------
Back in New York, Kennedy — who was backing Democrat Mark Green in the mayor’s race against Michael Bloomberg — praises Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s handling of 9/11 but is outraged by the prospect of Giuliani staying past his final term to deal with the aftermath of the terror attacks.
“I saw Rudy Giuliani, that little despot, threatening on TV last night to make some sort of deal with the mayoral candidates about staying on for a couple extra months,” he writes.
He says Giuliani was “desperate” to hold onto power.
----------------------------------------
I agree with his opinion of Giuliani.
