Letters were released a few years ago after a settlement with his mistress' family that sealed them for 50 years. Someone finally got around to checking them out.

Jerry — you recall Jerry, whose cards I once sent you to Europe — came in while I was pondering your notes in glad reflection, and we talked about it. He was strongly interested, and elated and clung to discussion. He told me to say that you are the best and darlingest in the world, and if he could have but one wish, it would be to be held in your darling embrace and be thrilled by your pink lips that convey the surpassing rapture of human touch and the unspeakable joy of love’s surpassing embrace. I cordially agree with all he said. Perhaps it is not important maybe it is not even interesting, but he is devotedly, exclusively, for you. . . .

Jerry is his cock.

Brett Favre laughs.

 

Warren Harding raised fighting chickens?

 

He came to snuff the rooster.

 

Wow. Imagine if a president wrote correspondences with a mistress like that today.

Harding is almost universally regarded as the worst President ever to sit in the White House. And it has been long speculated that he was murdered while in office, likely with the connivance of his wife.
