on edit: Just saw the video which provided the context. I have mixed feelings about what he said. I'm taken aback that he'd think that's an appropriate quote to have cited when a man of his stature & experience should have no trouble coming up with a more suitable & just-as-clever simile.
At the same time, of all the adjectives I've used to describe Spector over the years, not once had the word "kinky" come to mind.

(37 posts)Read about how Arlen Specter tried to intimidate eyewitness Jean Hill (the lady in red) into changing her story that she heard 4-6 shots (which would imply 2 shooters, an obvious conspiracy):

Jean Hill on Arlen Specter:
"He kept trying to get me to change my story, particularly regarding the number of shots. He said I had been told how many shots there were and I figured he was talking about what the Secret Service told me right after the assassination. His inflection and attitude was that I knew what I was supposed to be saying, why wouldn't I just say it. I asked him, 'Look, do you want the truth or just what you want me to say?' He said he wanted the truth, so I said, 'The truth is that I heard between four and six shots.' I told him, 'I'm not going to lie for you.' So he starts talking off the record. He told me about my life, my family, and even mentioned that my marriage was in trouble. I said, 'What's the point of interviewing me if you already know everything about me?' He got angrier and finally told me, 'Look, we can even make you look as crazy as Marguerite Oswald [Lee Oswald's mother] and everybody knows how crazy she is. We could have you put in a mental institution if you don't cooperate with us.' I knew he was trying to intimidate me.... "
