        @BeschlossDC was it LBJ's idea to have a bust of Kennedy in the room?

        @BeschlossDC My grandpa, a Vietnam vet, still curses LBJ as a lying, incompetent bastard. He refers to George W. Bush as "LBJ Jr."

        @BeschlossDC excellent timing on that request... no wonder that between that quagmire and all the others he declined to run again!

        @kbanas @hypomodern @BeschlossDC LBJ is the most enigmatic president of my lifetime. So right on civil rights, so wrong on Vietnam.

        @twbrandt @hypomodern And then he got out of office and basically killed himself.
