I'm no fan of Arlen Specter's, but you have to give the devil his due. When he allowed the hearings on Feingold's proposal to censure the President, he spoke against censuring President Bush and made Feingold look as silly as his proposal...even Feingold's own party would not support him.

Having said that, I do believe he owes the President more loyalty than he has shown. He definitely is not a Conservative, and I think he erred badly with his "single bullet theory" in the JFK assassination. Because of that error, we will probably never know the truth about what really happened in Dallas that day.

I beg to differ on both counts.

Regarding the censure garbage. Acknowledging the temper tantrum of Feingold is wrong in and of itself. Holding a hearing justifies Feingold's bad behavior.

Secondly, I'm an engineer. If on bullet of the same caliber and from the same rifle takes the path that it took through Kennedy and the man sitting in front of him and is able to cleanly pass most bones in both individuals, it will not deform.

I understand materials science and human physiology. Let's just say it applies to my line of work today. The single bullet theory makes no sense to the layman.

Even the Discovery channel found the single bullet theory to be correct. The bullet had a slight deformation in it and it did not penetrate the leg of the man sitting in front of Kennedy only because the trajectory of the bullet was deflected by a wrist bone in the test dummy. Had it missed that bone, the bullet would have penetrated the top of the leg without any deformation.
