Subject: "IT'S WHO SHOT JOHN"
>This perplexing phrase bizzarrely appeared today for the second time.
>I'll tell you about the first time later.
>
>Its use was in the House Judiciary hearing on the possible impeachment
>of Bill Clinton. It was said by one Thomas Sullivan, former US
>Attorney, in response to a question by Rep Robert Wexler D-Fla. It was
>something about the oral sex thing. Both Wexler and Sullivan were
>speaking in defense of Clinton.
>
>Sullivan got quite excited over a question, and said that the oral sex
>thing was a question as to who was performing on whom, which was , he
>said, a he said, she said matter. Then, out of his agitated excitement,
>came this closing shot, and I quote "It's who shot John"
>
>Nobody winked, although I found that to be a horrendous term to use on
>any occasion, much less in the context of oral sex.
>
>Only a youngish woman sitting behind Sullivan with shoulder length dark
>blonde hair, wearing glasses and a salmon suit laughed in a raucous way.
>
>Now, pardon me, but I fail to see anything funny about Who shot John. I
>find that the use of this term is odd beyond the likelihood of idle
>chance.
>
>The last time, and indeed only other time, I heard this similar phrase
>was in a Bush-Clinton Debate in 92. I forget the context, but an annoyed
>George Bush suddenly said What does it matter who shot John? I was
>aghast. Nobody else in the media picked up on it. Nor did Clinton. I
>called various newspapers and TV stations the next day, and all
>professed not to have noticed it. One media person said it must be a
>term like Who shot Cock Robin, a sort of Mother Goose rhyme.
>
>No!I don't think so folks. I offer another, much more serious
>hypothesis, and send it out for public consideration. What does it
>matter who shot John is something that is a sort of joke in certain
>covert centers where they are proud of their handiwork, and this phrase
>has become part of a private vernacular.
>
>I noted the proponderance of spooks on both sides at the Clinton thing,
>just like Watergate. Maybe Thomas Sullivan just felt a little too
>comfortable and thought he was in some more sheltered office somewhere
>where the term "who shot John" is a joke passed around as a proud
>achievement. Ditto George Bush.
>
>Just a thought and observation. By the way, the lady in the salmon suit
>shook hands with Richard Davis as she got up to leave. Davis was on the
>the testifying panel and had served on the Watergate committee, and one
>of his expressed functions was to urge a cooling off period so Nixon
>would not be indicted before a Ford pardon. Nice and neat, eh?
>
>What does it matter who shot John? (George Bush)1992
>
>It's who shot John (Thomas Sullivan) 1998
>
>How many "ordinary" Americans use this phrase????
>
>What does it matter who shot John, or Martin, or Robert, when the power
>entity can get away with it, then use the term in moments of loose
>abandon, or in private places of celebration and pride?
