Oh come on... LBJ never murdered anyone.

I've read plenty about LBJ - I'm kind of a Johnson Administration history buff (go ahead, ask me a question *L*).

You still haven't answered my question, though... why is it a bad thing for a President to have even hardened politicians think that you're a bastard?
