RIP Ladybird

How in God's name did you put up with your husband?
Heaven has a place for you.

I always hated that photo where he was holding his beagles by the ears and dangling them.

She had to live with him, not sign bills with him.

His great society was a noble effort. Unfortunately a little problem in Vietnam got in the way. Do you want to go into that?

I respected him more than most, he remained true to Kennedy's philosophy despite his southern upbringing...his tapes with Billy Graham were unfortunate but he was a plain-spoken man...I can live with that, sorta like Truman in some ways. I don't blame LBJ for Nam...I blame the political process!

Tremendous is being very nice. Farting, cussing, spitting... having discussions on the toilet while he was going #2... what a patient woman she must have been. They have some very thick books about him. He may have been one of the crudest presidents of all time.

But then again, he never got his hose sucked by another woman in the white house...

He was known to have multiple mistresses...that could make for marital discored...I mean, only if you consider infidelity marital discord...

Then there was the whole Vietnam thing he pushed for...

How about those conspirasy lunatics that believe he ordered the hit on JFK?

Personally, in 100 years, he will be labled a horrible president...IMO...

From everything I have ever read about her, she's the classiest first lady to ever grace The White House.
