THE MAN HAD A WAY WITH WORDS: Leigh’s been on a real “Presidential Kick” the last week or so, and is rather in entrenched in the Kennedy dynasty. Tonight, she found this one: The Presidents: Lyndon B. Johnson on PBS’ American Experience. Four hours of a fascinating man. Vulgar, compassionate, mean-spirited, caring, nasty, sweet, strong-arming, humane. All over the place, this guy was. I never really knew how rough it was for him during the Vietnam years. Big, big mistakes…and he stuck to his guns.

you left out corrupt. from his bogus military service record to cramming ballot boxes, LBJ was one of the worst in American history. He also NEVER sponsored a single piece of legislation as a US Senator. wanted to be president at any cost, possibly Kennedy’s life.
