NEW YORK Oct. 16, 2004 — Pierre Salinger, who served as President John F. Kennedy's press secretary and later had a long career with ABC News, has died, the network said Saturday.
Salinger, 79, died from a heart attack at a hospital in France, the network said. It was not immediately clear when or where in France he died, ABC News said.

Isn't he the one who left to France when Bush was elected ?
Gee, I guess old Pierre took John Kerry's advice to visit France because they have such great medical care there.
I'm too young to remember. Was it he that could not keep his composure at the press conference in Dallas on November 22, 1963? Or was it an assistant?

I thought he was already there. But if he did, he was the only one of a bunch who said they would!
Heart attack in France? I can see Gigolo and Breck Girl blaming Bush for Pierre's death too.
So Sad Too Bad, now liberals get over it !! Bush/Cheney 2004
I wonder how long it will be before kerry announces that Salinger called him this morning, on his cell phone, to thank him for the changes he plans to make in the healthcare system?
I am pleased he was able to pass away in the country he loved so much. RIP.

Don't worry guys. When John Kerry as president, Pierre Salinger will get up, get up out of that coffin and walk again.

I got an email from a secret source saying that he was shot down by a Navy missile.
In recent years, he had lost any remaining credibility by claiming that a Navy missile shot down TWA Flight 800.
Exactly...
Funny how I never got around to reading "Profiles in Courage".
He came to America to blame the downing of TWA 800 on the United States Navy.
In between he blamed the United States for every evil known to man.
Poor deluded fool.
May he rest in peace. Heaven knows he had no peace while here on earth.
Now what are the two caterpillars that lived above his eyes going to do?
When Kerry is elected, Pierre Salinger will rise from the dead.
