        But not a word of this was sincere. LBJ was an opportunist and a criminal.

        So at that moment of time you read what he's doing and that's your thoughts? You're a sad person. Shameful.

        Shameful? Why? I've read lots of books about LBJ, and I don't believe that he was genuinely grief-stricken about JFK.
