Meanest Story nominee:Onassis paid to have RFK killed

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 18 October 2010

We have quite the collection of Meanest Story of the Week nominees, with all the dogs in the AMI kennel represented, except for the Sun, which mainly writes about the end of the world.

Back in July, the Globe said Aristotle Onassis paid to have Ted Kennedy killed. Now the weakest of the Wicked Step Sisters, the low rent Examiner, says Onassis paid to have Robert Kennedy killed.

For the young people unclear on ancient history, Bobby was assassinated and Ted wasn't. Also, Onassis married John F. Kennedy's widow, Jackie. All five people mentioned in this paragraph are dead, so this post gets the Kick A Corpse Why Don'tcha label as well as being a Meanest Story nominee.

Kick several corpses, why don'tcha?Ted Kennedy's secret diary

Fresh trash on Thursdays!

I've only seen eight of the covers of The Only Ten Magazines That Matter this week, the ones that put previews online. Of those, this one gets my vote for Meanest Story of the Week. The Globe, one of the unreliable and cheap sister publications of the Enquirer, says they have Ted Kennedy's secret diary. In this alleged bombshell of a historical find, Ted claims he and Jackie were lovers and Aristotle Onassis plotted to kill Ted.

How many of the people involved have denied this story? As you might guess, none, because all of them are dead.

You might notice that there is a hand in the foreground of the picture of Jackie and Ted together that doesn't belong to either of them. There was a third person in this photo and I cropped him out since he's not in the story. Some might consider this dishonest. Compared to the Globe, I am a rank amateur at dishonesty.
