A quote from commedienne Paula Poundstone:
You know, Sirhan Sirhan's been in the news lately. He's been claiming that he's served enough of his sentance, and should be released. The parole board disagrees.
In a statement, Sirhan claimed that "if Robert Kenedy were alive today, he'd speak on my behalf!"
"Talk about the rotten luck! The one guy in the world that wou be a character witness for Sirhan Sirhan, and he assasinates him!
And next we'll be hearing from Mark David Chapman that if John Lennon were alive today he'd be speaking on his behalf.
These guys are nutcases, they should have gotten the chair instead of taxpayers being forced to subsidize their pitiful existence.
That sounds like something Charles Pierce of the Boston Globe wrote: "If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age."
The Nuke guy may be partially correct on RFK. There is no doubt that Sirhan Sirhan was doped up in some fashion when he performed the hit there in the kitchen. The attitude shown to the cops when they arrested, the lack of any behavior...the guy was on some kind of drug. As for why RFK might have been an Isreal target...that would be a great question to ask. I have no doubt that JFK was killed by Oswald, and it was purely a one-man operation. And even Ruby's involvement...was simply another nut into the whole scenario...nothing more. But Sirhan is a different type individual. No one can exaplin much about this guy and the weeks that led up to the RFK killing.
