Sexually Explicit Presidential Love Letters

Posted by | July 8, 2014 08:16 | Filed under: Politics Top Stories


The letters are from President Warren G. Harding to his Carrie Fulton Phillips, his mistress, during a 15-year period. The Library of Congress is about to make the letters available to the public.

The correspondence is intimate and frank — and perhaps the most sexually explicit ever by an American president. Even in the age of Anthony Weiner sexts and John Edwards revelations, it still has the power to astonish. In 106 letters, many written on official Senate stationery, Harding alternates between Victorian declarations of love and unabashedly carnal descriptions. (While Phillips’s notes and some drafts of her letters have been preserved, her actual replies were not.) The president often wrote in code, in case the letters were discovered, referring to his penis as Jerry and devising nicknames, like Mrs. Pouterson, for Phillips.

    “Licesnes” in one headline. “Presidetial” in another?

    Alan, is your keyboard needing a blowout, or are you posting while coming off a bender?

    Harding was selected to run because of his handsome looks because women had just achieved the right to vote. Otherwise, he was a dunce.
    Harding had a 15-year affair with Carrie Fulton Phillips, his wife’s friend. He had another affair with Nan Britton, who was 30 years younger than him. He banged her in closets in the White House.
    He fathered an illegitimate child in 1919.
    While president, he had a private box at the Gayety Burlesque strip club in D.C.

    Harding was surrounded by corrupt, thieving advisors. Harding’s father told him, “Warren, it’s a good thing you weren’t born a girl, because you can’t say no.”
