>But not a fellow democrat. Mercy be. Why would Ford and the Warren commission cover for Johnson?

Think back to what the assasination by itself did to the psyche of the country. Tying Kennedy's murder to the VP, who automatically assumed the office of President, would have been an unimaginable blow to the US, literally unthinkable.

We got through it, just like we got through Lincoln, shots at Ford and Reagan (which landed).

I suggest the decorum you imply is no longer present. Can you picture the media covering for Cheney, if he had Bush killed?

Could you picture the media covering for Gore, if he had Clinton killed?

Before Ford dies, I would like his brain thoroughly picked, for he knows a lot about a lot. Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, Nixon, etc.
