Legend has it Johnson told one of his aides -- "Go out there and tell 'em {Texas Governor Coke Stevenson} was caught having sex with a farm animal."

"But, Lyndon," the aide protested, "you know that's not true!"

"Of course it's not true!" Johnson responded impatiently. "That's not the point. Tell it anyway -- and make him deny it..."
