(Social) media appearances, books and contradictions

For her part, Lisa McCubbin, co-author (for Blaine and Hill) of The Kennedy Detail, Mrs Kennedy & Me, Five Days in November, and Five Presidents,16 posted the following on 11/24/10 on the official Facebook edition of The Kennedy Detail: “Contrary to Vince Palamara’s claims, the book was absolutely NOT written to counteract his letter to Clint Hill. Mr. Hill never read Palamara’s letter–it went straight into the trash. Gerald Blaine wrote this book on his volition, and Mr. Hill contributed after much deliberation (emphasis added).” For his part, Hill told Brian Lamb on C-SPAN four days later: “I recall receiving a letter which I sent back to him. I didn’t bother with it…he called me and I said “Hello” but that was about it. But he alleges that because he sent me a letter 22 pages in length apparently, and that I discussed that with Jerry. I forgot that I ever got a 22-page letter from this particular individual until I heard him say it on TV and I never discussed it with Jerry or anybody else because it wasn’t important to me (emphasis added).” Yet, in the biggest contradiction of all, Blaine quoted from my letter to Hill when I spoke to him on 6/10/05 and mentioned his deep friendship with Hill, as well, extending back to the late 1950’s! For the record, I received Hill’s signed receipt for the letter and it was never returned to me, either. What’s more, Hill conceded to author William Law: “Maybe he’s (me, Vince) right, because I apparently turned him down or something, I don’t know.”17

During yet another 6th Floor Museum appearance (with Hill and Blaine, hosted by Gary Mack), co-author Lisa McCubbin mentions that, during the writing of the book, she would find things that contradicted what Blaine was telling her. Ultimately, she copped out, stating “he was there”…no, he wasn’t there on 11/22/63 in Dallas and what about all his colleagues who refute him? Geez. McCubbin strikes me as a good investigative reporter. One wonders if her closeness to Blaine (she grew up with him, dated his son, and now dates his best friend Hill) along with the allure of big money, swayed her to “look away,” so to speak, at all the conflicting and contradictory evidence.

On page 124 from his book Five Days In November, Hill writes: “It strikes me that perhaps we should keep an agent with President Kennedy’s body---out of respect for both President and Mrs. Kennedy, and in light of the questions that were raised at Parkland Hospital about taking the body back to Washington for the autopsy. This way, if there is ever any doubt about whether Dr. Burkley stayed with the body until the autopsy, or suspicions about tampering, there will be a Secret Service agent who also remained with the casket and can vouch for the integrity of the body. Agent Dick Johnsen is selected for the post because he is an agent who was with President Kennedy from the beginning and is familiar to Mrs.
