With all the conspiracy theories written about JFK and Marilyn Monroe, why isn't there a conspiracy theory that says Joe DiMaggio shot JFK?

Did Joe DiMaggio order John F. Kennedy killed?

This past Saturday marked the 45th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. According to scholars, historians, politicians, The Government, and the History Channel, Kennedy was gunned down by Lee Harvey Oswald, a mysterious goon who was both an ex-Marine and a Communist. These powers that be claim Oswald acted alone, entirely driven by his own delusions of grandeur. Or so the story goes.

Of course, you could believe the conspiracists. The ones who believe Oswald was set up. They believe it could have been any one of the following:

– The Cubans
– The Russians
– The CIA (check out this wild link!)
– The FBI
– The Mob
– Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
– The Israelis
– The Illuminati
– Tonya Harding

But the one person who seems to get off pretty easy on the conspiracy front is the Yankee Clipper himself, Joe DiMaggio. No one seems to question his lack of involvement. Consider this:

Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe in 1954. Despite being divorced only nine months later, for years DiMaggio continuously put flowers on her grave. He had an undying commitment to her. Monroe, who died of an overdose in 1962, supposedly had affairs with both John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. According to this article, DiMaggio truly believed the Kennedys killed Monroe to end some of her verbal transgressions. What Monroe said or learned from the Kennedys is up to dispute, but according to rumor, she told Frank Sinatra about some of the CIA’s dealings in Cuba and their actions against organized crime. Her loose lips may have spelt the end for her.

I visited Graceland when I helped my cousin move out there. I was at his tombstone, and a single leaf fell, and landed on my shoulder, and stuck the landing! I put it in a frame and gave it to my Mom who was perhaps one of the biggest Elvis fans ever.

I also saw him in NYC around 1993 or so, he was driving a UPS truck.

Boston Corbett really was as mad as a hatter.

I've heard the name. What did he do?

Edit: Isn't that the guy credited with killing John Wilkes Booth? I recall reading he was a weirdo.

How many kids named "Chance" are named that because their parents took one ?

Forever ago I knew a little black kid in Chicago whose mother named him "Boo-boo." Because. Really.

I know a girl who's name is "Lucky." She's anything but...

Did Napoleon have a Napoleon complex ?

No, because he was at least average height for his day - about 5'7" in modern measurement units.
