LBJ discusses his pants

All this talk about S-holes reminds me of LBJ discussing getting a new pair of pants and making sure there is enough room from his bunghole forward for his nuts to hang. Starts around 1:50 in.

Truly a classic in American history!

It's not about vulgar words. LBJ was using his word to refer to his actual anatomy. SHITHOLE was referring to people/countries.

Oh, and another difference: LBJ, whatever his faults (including instances of racism, like LINCOLN), he has a legacy of social justice.
