When Mort Sahl Kicked Mark Lane Out of HIs House

A fun story from Mort Sahl that speaks volumes about Lane.

Mark Lane may or may not have had flaws.

So might Fred Litwin, or myself.

Attacking the messenger, not the message, is stale and old.

James DiEugenio recently devoted great length in the rapidly declining Ed Forum to assassinating the character of Michael McCowan. Why?

Michael McCowan, who was an investigator for Sirhan’s defense team, privately shared this anecdote regarding a conversation he had with Sirhan during a prison visitation:

The Content: During a reconstruction of the crime, Sirhan told McCowan that he intended to shoot Robert F. Kennedy between the eyes, but explained that "the son of a bitch turned his head at the last second".

---30---

That's what I think happened, btw. RFK turned his head, and Sirhan shot RFK the back of the head.

This character assassination goes on in both directions. Silvia Odio claims to have met LHO. So questions are raised about her mental health.

Mark Lane was perhaps a self-promoter, perhaps vainglorious.

But which observations of his hold water, and which do not?

Perhaps a self-promoter? 

Have you not read any of my multiple blog posts about Mark Lane. Sylvia Meagher was scathing in her letters about Mark Lane. He stole
all sorts of stuff from her.

Of course, the HSCA Final Report was also scathing about Mark Lane in regards to the MLK assassination.

Mark Lane could be Satan himself...but what matters is the veracity of his observations.

   Everything above but a "My Mother The Car" (1965) TV series review. How about we get serious? Though I did always like Jerry Van Dyke.

Not exactly Satan, just profoundly dishonest.

   The Mark Lane interviews of JFK Assassination witnesses was no different than the WC Q/A of JFK Assassination witnesses. Both were one sided. The difference between the 2 is that Lane gets consistently slammed and his work product relegated to "You Tube", while the WC Q/A of a very selective witness list receives historical recognition.  The JFK Assassination evidence scales have always been severely weighted.
