    Both presidents were succeeded by a Southern statesman named Johnson.

    Hello Bj�rn,

    Everything in this piece is true.
    Except the very last line.
    It was Bobby rather than Jack.
    But other than that ...

    The number of times I have read this nonsense, it just keeps coming back ...

    Kennedy was shot Nov.22nd 1963.

    Marilyn Monroe died August 5th 1962 ... 15 months earlier.

    So unless the Kennedy brothers were shagging a dead corpse, there's something wrong in the story.

    Hello Ward,

    ...

    A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
    A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

    Kennedy was shot Nov.22nd 1963.

    And was taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where he lived in secret,
    having an entire floor all for himself, for decades ...

    Marilyn Monroe died August 5th 1962 ... 15 months earlier.

    So unless the Kennedy brothers were shagging a dead corpse, there's something wrong in the story.

    I knew a woman who tried to shag a dead corpse, but she never
    could get him to keep it up.

    OTOH, one can always listen to The Dead Kennedys ...
