What we do know from the tapes was that Hoover thought he had flawless gaydar. Beschloss writes that Hoover believed, based on a report from liberal columnist Drew Pearson, that the Republicans were about to drop a "bombshell" on a Johnson administration official on Oct. 31, a bit of intelligence that he had passed along to Johnson. On the morning of Oct. 31, Johnson telephoned Hoover for new gossip, and the conversation ambled toward a Navy employee.
LBJ: … They raised the question of the way he combed his hair and the way he did something else, but they had no act of his. …
Hoover: It's just … that his mannerisms … were suspicious.
LBJ: Yeah, he worked for me for four or five years, but he wasn't even suspicious to me. I guess you are going to have to teach me something about this stuff. … I swear I can't recognize them. I don't know anything about them.
Hoover: It's a thing that you can't tell sometimes. Just like in the case of the poor fellow Jenkins. … There are some people who walk kind of funny. That you might kind of think a little bit off or maybe queer. But there was no indication of that in the Jenkins case.
(Again, all punctuation in the original.) Beschloss writes in a note that Johnson was having fun at Hoover's expense: "LBJ knew full well the rumors that Hoover was a secret homosexual."

Moyers is a dirtbag. He can take his ridiculous child molester sweaters and haircut and shove it.

The Intolerable Smugness of Bill Moyers

Slate is going after Bill Moyers????
What in the world!
and Drew Pearson lived in a world of fantasy - the ultimate in sleaze.
He remains a sanctimonious creep today.
Why the liberal media has only now decided that he's a sanctimonious creep, I have no idea.
Buh Bye, Billy!
They probably could not protect a fellow sanctimonious creep any longer with the publication of the story about his dirty deeds. So they threw him under the bus.
Where he has always belonged...
Bill Moyers is a sodomite?
Anybody who remembers the LBJ days knows he treated Moyers like a POS. He was the butt of many of LBJ’s X-rated jokes and he was, for all intents and purposes little more than a go-fer for LBJ toward the end of his administation.
LBJ’s jokes were nasty-he told the dirtiest jokes in Washington and the Kennedys were among his prime targets. If someone screwed him over 20 years before he would sic the FBI or the IRS on them-he never forgot or forgave his enemies.
