Vanity Fair's JFK Love Child Goes Public

Last week, word leaked out that an article in Vanity Fair about a possible illegitimate son of John F. Kennedy was in the works (and possibly being killed). Now the man in question has gone public.

Meet Jack Worthington. The 56-year-old native Texan currently lives in the suburbs of Vancouver, BC with his Canadian-born wife and their children. A Columbia University graduate, Worthington went public with his identity by giving interviews to The Vancouver Sun and The Globe and Mail. So far, the US press seems not to have picked up on the story — apart from small mentions by Fox News and Bloomberg, there's been nary a peep from the media.

So is Worthington the real deal? As seen from the picture, the physical resemblance is there. However, the The Globe and Mail is skeptical. Apart from his claims of blood descent from JFK, Worthington also claims to have knowledge of a conspiracy involving Lyndon Johnson that was involved in the assassination:

Mr. Worthington said his mother's paternal family had strong political ties to Mr. Johnson, and he stated that "the rise of LBJ and fall of JFK" were significant factors in his own story and in any possible connection to the Kennedys. "My existence is a potential Rosetta stone for a confusing period of American history," he said, citing the ancient stone found in Egypt that has become known as a symbol for the solution to a puzzle.

Worthington said he went public due to the Page Six article. So what we want to know is... why is it almost inevitable that a person claiming to be JFK's love child would have inside knowledge of his assassination?

1. He's not Canadian

I saw an interview with him, and apparently it is true that he's JFKs son - but he isn't Canadian. He just happens to live in Vancouver right now. I think he's from Washington.

2. Who's vigor? Is there a pic of her?

:hide:

3. Has he endorsed yet?

4. 'Tis a crazy world with crazy folks saying all kinds of things.

I think he's a loony tune. Then again, who am I to judge? What do I know?

9. I am shocked that John Kennedy doesn't have a bunch of

illegitimate kids running around. I mean, come on--how many girlfriends did this guy have? He made Clinton look like St. Bill of the Virgins.

5. I see no problem, a dna test would resolve it

easily.

7. The only "easy" way to test his DNA would be if Caroline Kennedy agrees

to be tested. Other relatives could be used as well, I guess.

6. Does he know that nice Prince from Nigeria that has $10,000,000 in gold ...

... and if I just send him $10,000 so he can get the paperwork through
the right channels he will give me half. Man, I can't wait for that $5,000,000.

The resemblance is even more striking than I pictured in my mind.

13. I couldn't think of who he reminded me so much of, but it's Costas.

Yessirree! :thumbsup:

14. .....or the 'Rocket' (Roger Clements)

[Virginia Dare]

10. I'm not seeing the resemblance..

which isn't to say it can't be true, but he just doesn't have the "Kennedy" look.
