I don't know

The more I read of Jackie O.'s tapes and the new book, the more I think that she didn't like too many people.

Jackie Kennedy disliked Catholics, said they always felt persecuted: Sharp words for mother-in-law Rose Kennedy in new book

She didn't like Catholics, Rose Kennedy, her husband's running mate John Connolly, Martin Luther King, and who knows who else? Her opinion of Catholics was a generalization, her opinion of King was based on information that came from the FBI (and we all know that the FBI's info was based on what Hoover wanted to hear), and she disliked him for being a philanderer while ignoring her husband's assignations. No, people who like things from the National Enquirer may enjoy the revelations, but I don't think too many historical insights will be in the tapes...
