IF my aunt had a Penis , she would have been my Uncle.

It really doesn't matter anymore. The fact is he is dead. If he had not been murdered in office he would have been a disastrous President. It's his death that people romanticize. He was more conservative than liberals today BUT he did nothing impressive while he was in office. The Bay of Pigs was another mess. His messing around on his wife was another embarrassment typically of Demoncrats.

I simply not impressed with the Kennedy's or ANYTHING they have done.

A recent book has a story about the corset. It became necessary when JFK reached for a nude, female swimmer in the WH pool and knocked his back out of kilter. Anyone else read that? Reaching for swimming nudes was not an unusual event for him and the WH pool was a common place for such antics.

Someone had to do it:

I'd apologize, but I'm not all that sorry...

most experts agree with the Warren Commission that Oswald's first bullet passed cleanly through Kennedy's lower neck, missing any bone,

According to the book "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner, Kennedy's movements after the first shot, with his elbows raised and hands to his neck, are a classic sign of a spinal cord injury called "Thorburn's position". If he had a spinal cord injury, perhaps this would have limited his subsequent movements more than the corset.

But because of the corset, Kennedy's body did not act as a normal body would when the bullet passed through his throat ... Without the corset, the force of the first bullet, traveling at a speed of 2,000 feet a second, would surely have driven the president's body forward...

BS. There is no one specific way a human body reacts to a gunshot from any given direction. People are not like pieces of wood. Over 200 bones, hundreds of muscles, etc. Each of those little interconnected parts, combined with the infinite number of ways they may be positioned and in motion at the moment of impact, lead to an equally infinite number of ways a human body can respond to a bullet. JFK could have gone forwards, backwards, sideways, you name it.

Don't buy into the Oliver Stone "back, and to the left" nonsense. Or Reston's nonsense. The corset certainly played its role, but only in that it was one of millions of little bits of positioning data that combined to form the physics of how JFK's body moved after being hit. Without the corset, JFK's body could just as easily have responded in a way that set Oswald up with an even better shot.

TRY THE SHOTS YOURSELVES

I never believed Oswald acted alone until I "shot" Kennedy myself from Oswald's position, using the software from the above link. Now, I think it's entirely possible he was a lone gunman.

JFK - killed by a girdle ?!?!?!?!?!?!
