On top of the loss of his chosen presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in the Massachusetts primaries (debate on the "Kennedy Lift" here), Senator Ted Kennedy now has to deal with more rumors about the Kennedy Clan.

The Kennedy Clan has always been a magnet for rumors, some sordid, some not, some true, some not. In this case, whether or not it is true, the latest rumor will have a high-profile mouthpiece in the form of magazine Vanity Fair. According to the Herald wire, a Vanity Fair writer is working on a story about assassinated president John F. Kennedy's alleged love child, a man who is now living in Vancouver. The New York Post says Ted Kennedy wants to stop the story.

Too late. The cat is out of the bag. Toronto's Globe and Mail digs it so much that they headlined the story: "Ich bin ein Vancouverite."

The best part, though, is the following Freudian slip by the Herald staff: "The latest JFK tail tells of a tall, handsome, illegitimate Camelot kid now well into his 40s, living a life of seclusion in cold Canada." Tail, not tale? Are you guys thinking of JFK getting "tail," the very thought of which most people would like to get out of their heads? That's a typo for the ages.
