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?
Did he send the boys to Nam knowing full well that they probably couldn't win? I was reading that somewhere that at the same time he ws telling the troops to nail that coon skin to the wall, privatley he had major doubts. There is a book out by Beschloss (sic) that's only the transcripts of his presidency. Very interesting!

Beschloss is a great guy
