John William Warner III was an American politician and lawyer who was United States senator from Virginia from 1979 to 2009.
Convenient deaths
Following Gerald Ford's defeat, Warner began to consider political office for himself. He entered politics in the 1978 Virginia election for the U.S. Senate. Despite the publicity of being Elizabeth Taylor's husband and the large amounts of money Warner used in his campaign for the nomination, he finished second at the state Republican Party (GOP) convention to the far more conservative politician Richard D. Obenshain. Much of this loss was due to his perceived liberal political stances, especially his soft approach to U.S.-Soviet relations. In contrast, Obenshain was a noted anti-Soviet, a hardline anti-communist, and an opponent of other liberal policies including the Great Society and much of the Civil Rights Movement. However, when Obenshain died two months later in a plane crash, Warner was chosen to replace him and narrowly won the general election over Democrat Andrew P. Miller, a former Attorney General of Virginia. He was in the Senate until January 3, 2009. [1]
Kay Griggs told how "I know a lot about John Warner, and Loretta Tate, and stuff that is really kind of spooky, because nobody has ever told this out loud. You know, he married Elizabeth Taylor. And there were murders around him. He was having an affair with Loretta Tate, which everybody sort of knows, who was married to a dentist, Randy Tate. She was his secretary, his main person. Randy mysteriously died..." And also "what happens after Dick Obenshain’s plane crashes? Well, they have a little convention. It’s conveniently right before the convention. He’s the titular guy. Well, Elizabeth Taylor comes into the picture. And they just go right over Robert’s Rules of Order, and everything else. Elizabeth Taylor goes around, this movie star goes around and says, "I think you ought to nominate my husband." Well, he hasn’t even been involved in the process. Dick Obenshain who is honest, conveniently dies, and John Warner comes right in there. They did not want Dick Obenshain [Obenchain] in there because he was not controllable."[2]
