an addendum re Specter's single bullet theory... To this day, Arlen Specter still says with a straight face that on November 22, 1963, one bullet, Commission Exhibit number 399: a) swooped down on JFK's motorcade from the Texas School Book Depository, launched by one of the worst shooters to ever serve in the U.S. military, from a notoriously inaccurate rifle -- which some of the finest marksmen in the world could operate only poorly, even in rigged tests with practice and major repairs -- on a mission from God... b) attacked John Kennedy in the back -- punching perfectly-aligned holes in the back of his coat and shirt, both of which are visible in photos of the clothing, and matching the location of the entrance wound on the original autopsy notes -- even though the official entrance wound is a full six inches higher, in the back of JFK's neck -- so either there's two gunmen or JFK was watching Beavis and Butthead and decided to play Cornholio for an instant that wasn't recorded by the Zapruder film... c) exited the front of Kennedy's throat, leaving a wound every single doctor in Dallas characterized as an entrance wound, which would mean another gunman firing from the front (although gee, it's not like doctors in Dallas know anything about bullet wounds -- Texas is just the only state in the country where you can win a semi-automatic rifle for 25 cents d) proceeded to smash into John Connally's back, although if we accept Connally's own account, not until about 1.6 seconds later, during which time the bullet apparently just... [hung out], maybe hovering in midair, waiting for some sort of all clear-signal (during which time, come to think of it, Jackie could have reached over and simply grabbed the bullet out of the air and saved Governor Connally a lot of bother)... e) suddenly remembered why it was there, slamming into Connally, shattering his fifth rib... f) proceeded out past the Governor's right nipple and attacked the right wrist, blasting apart the radius bone, one of the hardest bones in the human body... g) wounded Governor Connally in the left thigh... h) and remained in the thigh until finally wriggling out of its own volition on arrival at the hospital, to be found not [on] a stretcher but [between layers] of a stretcher -- and very possibly not even Connally's stretcher -- managing to clean itself of any trace of blood, bone, tissue, or fabric, and disguise itself sufficiently that the first three men to handle the bullet declined under oath to confirm it was the same one placed into evidence. Y'know, it's a miracle this bullet isn't still in Dealey Plaza killing people to this very day. That, in short, is Arlen Specter's Single Bullshit -- er, sorry -- Bullet Theory. Arlen Specter even says that's it's more than just a theory. Arlen Specter says it's a proven fact. Sioux
