RIP, First Lady Connally.

This is a much more appropriate headline that the one provided by AP in the posting just before this.

Connally had said the most enduring image she had of that day in November 1963 in Dallas was of a mixture of blood and roses. "It's the image of yellow roses and red roses and blood all over the car... all over us," she said in a 2003 interview with The Associated Press. "I'll never forget it. ... It was so quick and so short, so potent."

I read an article one time when someone questioned her accuracy about the assassination. Her pat answer was supposed to be all the same: Who was in that car, you or me?

I remember a show on The History Channel, about the limo and what happened that day. (I was in 12, and in HS algebra class at Prospect HS, Mt Prospect, IL) Mrs C seemed somewhat defensive in her answers to the interviewer's questions, IIRC.

RIP Nellie, but I'm sick to death of hearing about that damned JFK assassination.

I can imagine. She must have been tired of answering the same questions for so long.
The History Channel also had a pretty awful program with a lot of theories that were really "out there".

Honorable lady, rest in peace.
To: Shooter 2.5
I guess she tired quickly of being nit-picked about the details, S. As a viewer, I got tired of the mediot's inane questions, very quickly, too.

The History Channel has gone from All Hitler All the Time to All Conspiracy All the Time and Kookburgers Unite.

Homer Simpson referred to the Luftwaffe as the Washington Generals of the History Channel.

Hmmmm ..come to think of it .. I can't re-call a single word nor interview from her.
I've seen the 'eyewitness' clips, the 'investigating' commitee w/Sphincter's 'magic bullet' and countless ad nauseum 'news' reports .. but I've never heard, seen nor read Mrs. Connally

May she rest in peace.....She could have allowed researchers to definitively prove a conspiracy involving the assassination had she allowed a limited autopsy/removal of metal fragments from her late husbands wrist ... mettalurgical testing could have disproven the ridiculous single-bullet fantasy.

I just read her book a couple of weeks ago and was going to lend it to a friend to get her autograph on it...but I didn't get around to it.

I believe that in one particular interview she said that if she had not placed and held her hand over her husband's wound he also would have expired that day.
To: knarf
Perhaps because you don't live in Texas?

It wouldn't have proven anything you haven't already been told hundreds of times.

Perhaps .. and perhaps also nothing got out of Texas??
I just never heard nor read anything, that's all.
