I read in an LBJ biography that people recollected walking with him in DC and he’d stop right in the middle of town and take a piss on a tree.

Interesting read, If true it pretty much confirms what I remember of the past presidents. My favorite is still President Reagan.

Not surprising that the Democrats are all phonies, liars, and cheats. Their moral philosophy consists of one line: if it advances the agenda, it is moral. Thus, they rationalize any action they wish, because they can always find a way to fit it into “advancing the agenda”.

There a book by a secret service agent about the clintoons. I think his name was Gary Aldridge.
Real interesting stuff.

Bet the stories about the bamster gang will curl some toes.

I see a very clear pattern here.

“There a book by a secret service agent about the clintoons.”

I think its titled “Unlimited Access”.

Very interesting! Is “servantile” a word? I can’t remember ever coming across it.

The Fords: Agents describe Gerald Ford as ‘a true gentlemen who treated the Secret Service with respect and dignity’ with a ‘great sense of humor.’

********************

I stayed at an acquaintance’s cabin in Vail once - at the base of the hill and next to the place Ford stayed. It was used by the Secret Service when he was there skiing. Ford must have gone to the house as well, as at the low doorway through the kitchen they had taped up a note card “Mr. President - Watch your Head!”

I have an out of print paperback given to me by a friend years ago...”Dog Days at the White House”. Written by the official White House kennel keeper.

He describes in great detail the poolside Roman Orgies that JFK held whenever Jackie went out of town. Also detailed how Nixon’s dogs were afraid to fly, so some poor Secret Service agent near the bottom of the seniority chain would be assigned to drive them from Washington to San Clemente and back.

As a woman, the thought of being that “close” to LBJ or Clinton makes me physically ill!

Not real excited about JFK either, but at least he wasn’t as physically repulsive!

Not the least bit surprised that Reagan set the bar for class. I have his speaches on tape...Yes I know they are prepared, media events. The pressers were frequent and unscripted though, and his humility and respect for those asking questions, even those toughest on him, always managed to come through. Classy, caring, fair, witty, good natured, honest, principled and straight talking Ronald Reagan. Never again, I’m afraid.

I met a SS agent when I was a finance manager for a Lexus dealership in Annapolis back in the 90’s. He was all too willing to confirm Hillary does indeed munch carpet and was involved in getting women in and out of the White House.

First Wookie: Michelle Obama is described as ‘a complete b****’-’hates anybody who is not black.”

You mispelled the word “bitch”, which is not “profanity”.
