Utterly amazing that a United States president couldn't be bothered to find such elusive terms as 'seat' and 'inseam' and instead opted to use the more colorful 'bunghole' and 'where the nuts hang' to describe an order for pants.
Its good that calls like this are declassified and released. You really get a grasp of who they were on a humanistic level and not just what the media portrays them to be. Was that a WH page at the end taking down the information?
whoa, all White House calls were recorded?!! - let's pass a law requiring that, and the audio can be released 10 or 20 years later to avoid politicization of every word and phrase in the moment. 🟥⬜🎆
This is the funniest thing I have ever seen or heard! I only love LBJ even more after having seen this. The Kennedy's all hated LBJ except Jacky and she loved him for being so real. Thank LBJ for the Civil Rights Act, the Great Society push and so much more. So sorry he fucked up on Vietnam though. His ball sack must have been pressing on his pants that day and perhaps his bung hole was giving him the shits!
Lyndon was amazingly, human. Shame he listened to the wrong folks and got into Nam. Say what you will about him, he was the only person who could have gotten the Civil rights act to pass in that era. Kennedy could not have accomplished it. Lyndon believed in it.
LBJ was wasn’t just earthy; he reveled in being earthy. It was performance art and, like so much of what he did, it was primarily an exercise in power, making the other person feel uncomfortable and trapped, and ultimately doing what he wanted them to do.
