Arlen Specter said on Maher's show:

[PCIntern]

"...I've dodged a few bullets in my time..."

One of them was found on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital in Dallas; pristine if I do recall.

Made his career...

Interesting turn of phrase from the Senator.

4. ARLEN SPECTER AND THE JFK ASSASSINATION

The Single Bullet Theory

To support the scenario that a lone assassin (Oswald) could fire the purported number of shots within an allotted time frame, the Warren Commission concluded that one of the bullets fired that fateful day hit both Kennedy and Connally. This conclusion came to be known as the "single bullet theory." However, given the location of Kennedy's and Connally's wounds, for the "single bullet theory" to be correct, the bullet would have had to change course several times, behaving in the manner shown in the diagram (below left). The chief architect of the "single bullet theory" was the Warren Commission's ambitious junior counsel, Arlen Specter, now U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. In the reenactment photo (below right) Specter, with his pointer in hand, attempts to make the "single bullet theory" appear more plausible by deceptively indicating a straight line trajectory for the bullet.

While Specter managed to sell his "single bullet theory" to the Warren Commission, he had trouble selling it to the American public. A recent New York Times/CBS poll found that 77 percent of Americans rejected the Warren Report's conclusions.

7. Somehow I don't think ole Arlen would be with us, if

he had been a laid-off steelworker on disability...or a disabled veteran..

He "beat" cancer 3 or 4 times, but only because he had a LIBERAL time-off plan and the tippest-toppest medical plan in the country.,.and plenty of money to live on while he was laid up..
