And the President's punchlist was something like "the angry husband yells, 'why you black son of a _______, what are you doing in there (the closet)?', and that black boy responded (LBJ going into his 'Amos n Andy' here), "well, everybody gots to be somewhere!" Then one long, approving hardy har har by the President laughing at his own joke (and laughing on the other side of the phone line....some Senator I think).
If a Republican had such a tape released today, even if he were long in the grave such as LBJ, the national media in the US would slander his sorry arse as a racist up one side of the country and down the next for weeks on-end.
