I always figured Kennedy getting aired out had something to do with Executive Order
11110. Or maybe, as the late great
Sherman Skolnick put it, Bush Sr. was still pissed off about the Bay of Pigs debacle he supervised via Zapata Petroleum, and had Kennedy pegged as "soft on the communists". I'm still curious why Jimmy Carter fired Bush Sr. and around 1,000 other CIA agents back in 1978. And then the oil crisis in 1979. Bush Sr. as VP in 80'. And then, out of the fucking blue in 81', some 'random' guy from Texas tries to make Bush Sr. president "the messy way".

Associated Press published the following short note on March 31, 1981:
The family of the man charged with trying to assassinate President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice-President George Bush and had made large contributions to his political campaign ... Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr. who allegedly shot at Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the Vice-President's sons ... The Houston Post said it was unable to reach Scott Hinckley, vice-president of his father's Denver-based firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corp, for comment. Neil Bush lives in Denver, where he works for Standard Oil Co of Indiana. In 1978, Neil Bush served as campaign manager for his brother, George W. Bush, the Vice-President's eldest son, who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress. Neil lived in Lubbock, Texas, throughout much of 1978, where John Hinckley lived from 1974 through 1980.
Wonder why we never got a follow up to that. Maybe because that's all just crazy nonesense. I'm sure it's just a modern rash of lone gunmen. Obviously it was just Oswald in 63' and Hinkley in 81', all by themselves. I mean they look like such fucking ninja assasins.
