My favorite part about that whole thing is that Hinckley tried to kill Reagan because he was obsessed with Jodie Foster. Who turned out to be a lesbian. Talk about barking up the wrong tree.

Otoya Yamaguchi gets top points for flair, but loses street cred for his nationalist warmongering.

Didn't it take him two tries? What a failure.

FTR when I say best I mean in terms of the assassination itself, not the cause or ideology behind it. Props to the japanese guy for using a sword and doing it on TV.

Princips caused WW1 so even if the attempt wasn't the best he still gets top billing by default. But what a shot by that Oswald guy, right? *wink wink*

Even if Oswald made that shot I deduct points for being a sniper as opposed to up close and personal with a daring escape.

Are you saying being a sniper is less cool than being an actor? A theater actor?

If you're such a good actor that you shoot the president and an audience full of armed soldiers think it's part of the play, then yea.

Maybe they just thought no one would be stupid enough to jump off a second floor balcony and break their leg if they weren't acting.
