Lady Bird Johnson was a great American and a class act.
Unlike at least one of the posters here.

Paulo,
Are you trying to convert any undecideds with your sick viewpoint? Better rethink your tactics.
As for Lady Bird, when I lived in DC, I recall the usual rush to get to National Airport, but I always took a moment along the way to admire the stretch along that parkway named for her -- she took a personal hand in beautifying that stretch of highway with bluebonnets from Texas, and while they haven't gotten the tourist numbers of the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin, I always appreciated her deft touch. I can only imagine what it was like to have been the confidante of LBJ, the consummate politician and a complex character, who ran things in the most difficult times for the country and he did so after the legacy of Camelot for which he personally held no goodwill. RIP.

According to Robert A. Caro's exhaustive (and exhausting) biography of LBJ, Mrs. Johnson was truly a Lady in the old fashioned sense of the word. And so quite a contrast with her course slob of a husband.

So much for rebublitards being the voice of life, morality, ethics, and family values. The longer they talk (and visit prostitutes, ala Vitter) the more they debase themselves.
