LBJ was an evil man. That he could be as crude and as evil as he was and still succeed in politics is disgraceful.

Wait until I post the stuff about how he raised tons of campaign money with cash delivered in brown bags. If you had seen such scenes in the movies, you would have disregarded it as an over-exaggeration. And the money came from from oilmen and other Texas businessmen as well as from Labor Unions. Oodles of cash that were often stuffed into the pockets of LBJ's couriers (including John Connally). This sort of gives you a little historical background to take into account when the Demmycrats squawk about campaign finance "reform" as if it were the Republicans who were the real villains. As it stated in the book, LBJ was the grand master at raising campaign contributions, most of it illegal.
