High on Election Day adrenaline, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews shocked and titillated a panel of nebbish cohosts by offhandedly remarking that John F. Kennedy once visited a porn theater to blow off election-eve stress. “There’s something about the whole ritual, like concession speeches, which I love—I’ve said that before—and crying when you lose…” Then, somewhat incoherently (probably owing to the fact that blood was rushing from his head to his prick—the thought of weeping politicians will do that to certain men), Matthews continued, “Jack Kennedy did this: Ben Bradlee, his buddy, they went up to see a porn movie.”
“What?” asked a stunned Rachel Maddow. “They went to, like, a porn theater?” Matthews affirmed, but did not get into the kind of details most of us were looking for.
