(22,453 posts)30. LBJ had such a way with words!
Here's a few good ones:
"I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You've got to just stand there and take it."
"When the burdens of the presidency seem unusually heavy, I always remind myself it could be worse. I could be a mayor."
"If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: President Can't Swim."
And lastly, my favorite:
"Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time."

of course Glider is correct, but does one prefer to watch history unfold or look away in disgust?
