JFK Assassination Forum

When Mort Sahl Kicked Mark Lane Out of HIs House

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

   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.

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

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?

Bump

Steve, it's always nice to see you around the forum, even if it's with a single-word post! I'm wondering if you've followed Craig Bouzarth's work on the Zapruder film and his analysis which shows the Sydney Wilkinson investigation has basically produced nothing of evidentiary value?

There was also a storm drain in Ruth Paine's garage...

Plus, there was a storm drain located in the back room of Johnny Brewer's shoe store, which allegedly leads straight to Elm Street in Dealey Plaza.

And we know who Brewer had lunch with on 11/21/63 --- none other than that master plotter himself, Montgomery Burns!

Just a coincidence? I think not. 😁
