"Mafia Princess" Antoinette Giancana, daughter of the late Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, claims in a new book that her father ordered the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

If true, this would make Sam Giancana guilty of one of history's worst crimes. But that doesn't trouble Antoinette Giancana.

"The Kennedys were not kind to my father," she said. "They were just as evil and corrupt as any mafioso.

Well, that's funny. That's not what I recall from my reading.

There's no way the Chicago mob would bring that upon themselves. It's stupid. Read the mob books.

The only Chicago connection that stood out with me was Klein's Sporting Goods.

1. Seems to me Antoinette Giancana is looking for 15 more minutes..

of fame.

[H2O Man]

2. Maybe she

is just really stupid. Well, probably both.

3. I am so tired of the who killed John F. Kennedy stories.

If I confess to killing him will people stop these writing books?

[wordout]

4. no.

but you can write a book about it if you're a good liar.

[blueknight]

7. total bullshit

during that time frame the fbi had numerous wire taps on the phones for months at a time and never once did they hear anything about killing the president.

8. Thanks

You made me laugh. I appreciate it.

5. Did the mob control the Warren Commission?

The conspiracy hinged on the Warren Commission finding Oswald to be solely responsible. The available evidence did not point that direction, so it is easy to conclude that the Warren Commission was, at least at some level, involved in the conspiracy (probably as actors after the fact). If one believes that the the mob ran the Warren Commission, the next conclusion should be that the mob controls the whole rest of the government. Ipso facto, the government ordered the hit in the first place. LOGIC!

17. I Have Begun To Suspect BushCo, Myself

Given what they've been up to lately, and the audacity and carelessness that they exhibit, that cockiness came from somewhere, and I think it's from pulling off a crime like the ASSSASSINATION OF A SITTING US PRESIDENT who was greatly loved.

6. Everybody knows it was Bill Clinton and a gang of libruls what did it. n/t

9. The Clenis........

The Clenis shot Kennedy from the Grassy Knoll. No doubt about it, it was The Clenis alright.

[raccoon]

14. Hmmm...the Clenis was 17 at the time..it's possible. nt

19. hm. must be detachable.

velcro?

10. She knows Republicans will buy anything antiDem - she needs the money.

Write a book against Kennedy, Clinton or Kerry and you can pocket a million bucks easily. And you don't have to waste any of that easy money on checking your sources or the national security archives.

11. I have always wondered what Howard Hunt was doing in Dallas that day?

No way Oswald ..... He was a dupe ..... just like James Earl Ray.
Somebody's head shot from behind does not travel in the same direction as
the bullet.

As for the mafia daughter ..... Can you say pay day.

By the way Bill Clinton did bring the guns to Dallas that day.

12. Nixon was there, too.

Coincidentally, Nixon was in Dallas earlier on November 22, 1963, the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Nixon spoke to a meeting of Pepsi-Cola bottlers.

13. Will this silly shit ever go away? Give it a rest.

[Rich Hunt]

16. hopefully

That's what I'm hoping. That it will finally die.

'Cos it's not Chicago's business, that's why, and they keep dragging us into it.

[rinsd]

15. I think Giancana's brother wrote a book that told a similar tale (nt)

18. The Bush Crime Family, maybe

Perhaps way back than it was a bogata of the Dulles/Nixon Crime Family...who were pussycats compared to the current leadership.
