Anyone been watching the LBJ Whitehouse tapes?

It's been running on CSpan and it's very interesting. To go back and hear what took place during those troubling times.

and of meetings with the bugs? Have they gotten to the one where he orders pants?

From a particular tailor that was recommended to him. The jist is, he wanted pants loose enough so his balls wouldn't be constricted. I don't have the transcript, but his language is very colorful, and extremely funny!

LBJ: Now the pockets, when you sit down, everything falls out, your money, your knife, everything, so I need at least another inch in the pockets. And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence. These are almost, these are the best I've had anywhere in the United States,

JH: Fine

LBJ: But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me , you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper (burps) ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to.

Thank you for enlightening me regarding the "pants tape." :rofl:

A girl never thinks about these things. Who knew? :eyes:

edit: Beavis and Butthead would love this particular taped conversation:
"Heh, heh. He said bunghole." :rofl:

edit: sp.

I think all presidents used it until Nixon got caught.

As much as he screwed up in Vietnam...I sure do love Johnson.

words, and how to use them. References to various bodily excretions should fill the transcripts.

Listen, it is f'n funny

was a real hoot !

a few years ago w/ coversations based on the tapes. It all centered around the build-up in Viet-nam. The title escapes me during this very senior moment. Michael Gambon played LBJ, Felicity Huffman Ladybird, Alex Baldwin - McNamara. I can remember all that but not the title.

He is flirting but he's also kind. She is very gracious.

work with, I can't even imagine what he'd do.
