Besides the sexual creepiness of this behavior, it obviously was a way of asserting power. He was humiliating people who had little choice but to put up with it.

Examples of this were mentioned later in the chapter. BTW, I do know LBJ liked to assert himself over Robert STRANGE McNamara by having McNamara report to him while he was sitting stark naked on his toilet while clearing his bowels. However, in this case, I do relish the thought of McNamara being humiliated in such a way.

Ya know something? I believe allowing former President Johnnson to behave in this manner is disgusting. However, there is NO job in this whole entire world that would EVER make me lower the respect for my own self by once again...allowing someone to so obviously do something so grotesque and disrepectful to me. No thanks. Presidents or anyone. Remember the key words in this reply are ALLOW...'cause that's what we do with people like this. We ALLOW them to get away with behavior like that. I wonder what and how Mrs. Johnson and his daughters felt? Did he respect them????????????/ I think not! My father was a house painter. Who would I respect more? ?That President or the house painter. My father, the simple house painter 100 trillion times over. God Bless my father and President Bush!
