I find it mightly creepy that W's brother was having dinner with Hinkley's brother the night before the shooting. Pretty much the same cast of characters.

At the time, I was so busy with my business career that the event was one which I barely caught the headlines on. It is only now that I have the luxury to read and research that the dimensions of this plot really start to come alive.

The one thing that might be said in favor of the official story is that if the Bushs were sincerely interested in assassinating Reagan, that it would have been astoundingly poor planning to have used a member of a family with whom the Bush's were on a first name basis. In any Mafia hit, or CIA operation (which Bush 41 would be intimately familiar with) the first rule is "plausible deniability" and the second rule is compartmentalization.

In the case of John Hinkley, both precepts would have been violated, and I just don't think George H.W. Bush would be that sloppy.

I tend toward the view that the dinner the evening before was simply a remarkable coincidence, and nothing more.

I really hate to disappoint my readers on the Right who are certain that I'm nothing more than a crackpot conspiracy theorist. Sorry, guys.
